Exactly. When the red exclamation point first turns on is the only time that program will evaluate true. When the red excalmation point disappears that is the only time that program will eval. false. Except of course for forced runs.

Sorry I am late getting back to the party, and I apologize for missing the fact that belias was trying to force run the program. If the red exclamation point is showing and he forces that program to run "if", it should evaluate as true. If the device is responding properly and a force run "if" is done the program will run false. By itself the program will only run true or false once - with each status change from responding to not responding only. But not by a query after the status has changed. belias, there must be something odd going on if you are forcing the program if and it is evaluating false when the red ! is visable, but I don't know what. edit: boy I am really late, I didn't see the last 2 post until now.

That is correct, it will only evaluate true when the device goes from responding to not responding. In other words the program will only evaluate true once. Once the device starts responding then stops again the program will evaluate true again, once.

Momentary just has to do with the relay and shouldn't have anything to do with the sensor status. Is it possible the sensor isn't being held low fully? Check the event viewer on level 3 and block the beam and see if there are multiple occurrences in the viewer. Also the wait placed where it is in the first program is not do anything. In settings is the sensor trigger reversed?

Seems to me if the beam is broken the iolinc will send an "on" (or off, however it is wired) just once. When the beam is restored the iolinc sends off. Once the beam is broken and stays broken the program should not retrigger until the beam is restored. It might be best to post the program in question.

Thanks Lee, Once again you saved the day!

So it sounds like if I have 2 programs both of which are doing math functions and are sharing 1 integer variable as a place holder the data may get corrupt if they both run at the same time, esp. if one starts before the other but the other finishes first. So I will need a placeholder for each program. Thanks Lee, Tim

Does the ISY994i execute programs 1 program at a time or can/does it execute multiple programs at the same time? The programs in question do not have waits or repeats and the conditions may turn true at the same time. Thanks, Tim

The "Devices / Garage Door-Sensor" is an iolinc and when the sensor led is off the door is closed. The "Devices / Entry KPL 1 Entry Lite / Entry KPL C Gar Door' is switched Fast On" is one of the kpl's my grandson can push. The other kpl is in my workroom so a single press will open/close the door. If Status 'Devices / Garage Door-Sensor' is Off And ( Control 'Devices / Entry KPL 1 Entry Lite / Entry KPL C Gar Door' is switched Fast On Or Control 'Devices / WR1 KPL 1 Ceil Lite / WR1 KPL D Gar Door' is switched On ) Then Wait 1 second Set 'Devices / Garage Door-Sensor / Garage Door-Relay' 100% Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I also use similar programs for my Home/Away programs requiring a fast on or fast off to put the house in away or home mode.

Ah, don't you just love kids! Everytime my youngest grandchild visits and leaves I have at least 1 kpl that beeps when a button is pressed, but usually 2 or 3 that do also. That along with the garage door being opened / closed and lights going on and off while he is here. The garage door now has a program that requires a fast on or fast off before it will open and close so that has cut down on its operation.

I am not using the Insteon ip camera but one purchased thru amazon for 50 bucks called wansview. Works good enough for my uses. I am using a program called Motion on a pogoplug running archlinux. Motion will record video and produce snapshots when the program detects motion in an adjustable field of view of the cameras output. Works pretty well. Motion will also work with multiple camera setups. http://www.lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/motion/ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Webcam_Setup

I can't say that I have ever seen that message. Where do you see it?

Sorry, I also meant to ask if the network module is listed under "Product" in the same "About" window. It sounds like you will need to contact UDI though, it should not have taken this long for it to appear. Look for any of Michel's posts and click on "open a ticket" in his signature line.

Hello rohan208, what is the gui version reported as? Help>About: UI should report as "Insteon_UD994 v.4.0.5" Also, just to be clear, you were able to manually upgrade to 4.0.5 right?

I emailed them a few questions a couple of weeks ago and found them to be pretty slow in response. I did ask them about having the Rest sent from the tag manager and not the cloud because I was interested in the fastest response possible, here was his reply: "If you check the "call from tag manager" option in URL calling, the server will still have to load your setting from the database to construct the URL and other parameters, and then send it to the tag manager for it to call. Obviously tag manager does not have a storage to store all the URL settings." So basically it sounds like if the cloud is down or they go down and out the unit is completely worthless. Tim

Another possibility could be (depending on the version) is that the off button has been accidently put in the non-toggle mode.

Using IE10, look at the address bar at the top of the page, the icon next to the refresh icon is the compatability view button. Click on that which will refresh/resize the page and you will see the missing buttons/info.

Hi Michel, Fingers crossed...Did they give any sort of ETA? Thanks, Tim

Hi IndyMike, Thanks very much for your reply. I agree the program may not trigger very often (or at all if WB fixes the problem) but I already had the weather program on the pogoplug in place sending variable updates to the ISY so all I really had to do was a slight mod to the weather program, create a variable and then create the ISY program. Didn't take much time at all. I did send WB an email about the rainfall not reporting and they sent an email back saying that the problem was at the station and they were working on it but its not the first time they have had problems. I noticed that by mid day the second day of rain that WB was reporting .11" but that was off based on weather underground reporting. Anyway I was just looking for a quick backup in case it were to happen again. It did work, the sprinklers didn't fire the next day whereas they would have. Thanks again for all of your contributions and hard work, Tim

It appears my weather bug station (KBAB) is not reporting current rain data again. The next closest station also is not reporting rainfall. Weather Underground is however. So I have modified my weather program on the pogoplug to parse the days rainfall and send it to an integer variable on the ISY. The weather program strips the decimal and leading zero before sending to the variable. So .42" = 42 in the variable. I have been following the advice IndyMike has been giving other forum members (btw, Big thanks to you IM) and have set the following in the climate module: Water Applied per ir. cycle: 0.386" Allowable Dep. 0.27" My thinking is to create an ISY program which will run an irr. cycle complete at the end of the day if the Weather Underground reports more than .386" of rain but the Weather Bug doesn't. For example: If Time is 11:55:00PM And $iPogoWeather_RainAmountToday >= 38 And Module 'Climate' Rain Today < 0.38 " Then Irrigation - Cycle Complete Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Does this sound about right or am I incorrect in my thinking? Thanks, Tim

I can confirm exactly what Andyf0 is seeing with my switchlinc relay with sense, also .v37 while my switchlinc relay without sense indicate fine. Tim

Hi Xathros, Sorry to be hard headed but can you explain that a little more...I am having trouble understanding this comment about variables only being positive numbers. Thanks, Tim

Two thoughts..can you write a prgm that when you turn the lamp off, after a certain time, that will automatically arm the alarm. I don't have the Elk but I seem to recall reading that the ISY could arm and disarm it. If Time is from 9:30pm to 5:30am (next day) And Control 'RemoteLinc button' is Turned Off And 'Elk' is Disarmed Then Arm Elk Else nothing Otherwise the same program can be used to flash the light. Just change Arm Elk to Then Turn light on Wait 1 sec Turn Light Off

Give this a try. Create an Integer variable (such as iSump). Then add it to the program as such: If Status 'synclinc' is On And iSump = 0 Then Send Notification to 'Joe' content 'Sump On' Set iSump = 1 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Do the same for the off program but reverse the Integer values.
