THANK YOU @Bumbershoot! Somehow I missed that post in my searching. It solved my understanding problem! -Ed

So I bought a ZooZ Zen32 800LR basic dimmer switch and tried again. Luckily this time I have commands now. (see below) but the switch still doesn't turn off/on the lamp dimmer. Still seems like the direct linking isn't working with EISY. Is this even possible? Here is my scene:

Yes, the only thing I got was "query". Not helpful in the least. -Ed

Hi: I have a new EISY (from a ISY994i) and I'm starting the transition from Insteon to ZWAVE. I have having a hell of a time creating native (direct) links between two devices using my new EISY with ZMATTER USB interface. (Note that I didn't have any ZWAVE devices on my ISY994i when I moved my config over to my new EISY- starting fresh with ZWAVE on the EISY.) Can someone please tell me what I am missing? I'm simply trying to link a ZooZ Zen32 to a simple plug in lamp dimmer (New One N4012) using a native (direct) link with my EISY. For the life of me I can't see to get the drop down options to actually do what I want. I only have Command, Default and Ignore options. It seems based on research that I should have other commands like on/off there to actually do something. I have tried direct links with the scene buttons, Basic Assoc and the switch itself.... all with no avail. What am I missing? Note, I know I can do the "3 button click" on each device to direct link them, but I don't want to do that since I've been spoiled with Insteon. I'm running IoX v5.7.1. Any ideas are super appreciated... I'm been banging my head on this for a while.

Here is the new program with tweaks made to it to actually work... Posting here in case someone else runs into the same understanding problem I did... If From 12:59:00PM on 2017/05/01 To 7:01:00PM on 2017/10/31 And On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri From 1:00:00PM To 7:00:00PM (same day) And Status 'Devices / HALL / HALL-Therm- Main' is Mode Cool And Status 'Devices / HALL / HALL-Therm- Main' <= 77° (Cool Setpoint) Then Set 'Devices / HALL / HALL-Therm- Main' Mode Cool Wait 2 seconds Set 'Devices / HALL / HALL-Therm- Main' 78° (Cool Setpoint) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Couple of notes for newbies like myself: If you place the weekday (Mon, Tues, Wed...) on the first date line (12:59:00PM on 2017/05/01), it will not work correctly (ask me how I know). The weekday specification must be on the daily time portion of the if statement (from 1:00:00pm, etc). Thank you everyone for the help! -Ed

Ahhh! THANK YOU! I incorrectly made the assumption that the time applied to the daily schedule rather than on that start date and end date. It 5.0.10 still in beta?

Just wrote a new thermostat program to help reduce energy costs during peak times. If On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri From 1:00:00PM on 2017/05/01 To 7:00:00PM on 2017/10/31 And Status 'Devices / HALL / HALL-Therm- Main' is Mode Cool And Status 'Devices / HALL / HALL-Therm- Main' <= 77° (Cool Setpoint) Then Set 'Devices / HALL / HALL-Therm- Main' Mode Cool Wait 2 seconds Set 'Devices / HALL / HALL-Therm- Main' 78° (Cool Setpoint) Stop program 'Sched-ThermSetPeakRate' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program does what I want EXCEPT that the time condition doesn't seem to get evaluated. If I try lowering the thermostat to 72 after 9pm, it keeps setting the thermostat to 78... Yes I checked the on board clock.. it is correct. What am I doing wrong? Help please -Ed
