I think this is what you're looking for:

Just an update - I removed the WAIT that was there to prevent multiple alerts...and I started receiving multiple alerts for a single occurrence. So I broke this into two programs as was recommended. Sump ON Trigger If Status 'Sump' is On Then Run Program 'Sump ON Actions' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Sump ON Actions If Status 'Sump' is 100% Then Disable Program 'Sump ON Trigger' Send Notification to 'Russ' content 'Sump On' $DailySumpCycles += 1 Wait 1 minute Enable Program 'Sump ON Trigger' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I'll post more once I know if the counter is working correctly (which it is so far) and I don't receive multiple alerts. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions!

It's calibrated. I was very careful doing that. I'm now getting the counter changing each time...so maybe the WAIT was the issue. I'll make the "ON" change too. Thanks to all for their help and suggestion!

It's a sump pump being monitored by a SynchroLinc V.30. Thanks for the idea. I'll give this a shot.

It doesn't. 30 seconds max. The wait is to prevent multiple emails. For some reason, I'll get two or three sometimes. I still do so this was a failed attempt to prevent that.

I have $DailySumpCycles set up as an Integer variable.... The program is and the alert works...but the counter stays at "1" and never increments. I will also make this variable the "Yesterday" variable at the end of the day...and reset the Daily variable. Then I can see two days worth of counters.... Thanks in advance! ======================================= Sump ON - [iD 000D][Parent 0001][Run At Startup] If Status 'Sump' is 100% Then Send Notification to 'Russ' content 'Sump On' Wait 1 minute $DailySumpCycles += 1 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Well, I jumped the gun when I said iit worked. It did when I performed some quick tests but not when I put it into production. I didn't get an alert at the first time check, but did for the second time check even though the door was closed. Tonight, I broke it into two different programs (same program with two different times). It seemed to work....but I feel like I'm back to where I started. I've gone back to "status" instead of "control" based on what others said....but I'm using the "Then" to trigger....not the "Else"... Here's one of the two programs - I'll report back if this appears to be working regularly. If Time is 10:30:00PM And Status 'Outdoor Garage Door-Opened' is On Then Send Notification to 'DAD' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Thanks everyone. This got it working. Teken - I did need to change it to "control". Techman, I used your program with control added and it worked perfectly! Thanks again everyone...

I grabbed an Insteon 2421 Open/Close sensor with hopes of using it to help me be sure the garage door is closed at the end of every day. I created two programs that would check at 10:30 and 11:00 PM and if the door is open, send an email to me. The result is I get an email regardless of the state of the door. I've tried the reverse...if the Door is Open then email me.... Help.... Garage Door Check 10:30 - [iD 0026][Parent 0024] If Time is 10:30:00PM And Status 'Outdoor Garage Door-Closed' is On Then - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Else Send DoorOpenNotification to 'Dad'

Thanks to everyone who weighed in on this topic. For now, I've put a new 2423A5 SyncroLinc in place, and it appears to be working well. I get an email every time the pump goes off...which is enough for me to see it's cycling every hour or 45 minutes or.... I also have a backup sump pump that uses AC and a marine battery. The water exits to a different location (very important). If the main pump fails, or the fuse in the SyncroLinc fries, we are at least covered - and we will here the alarm on the backup pump. Heck, I can probably put the other SyncroLinc on the backup pump! The Mamac CT-800 current sensor solution seems like a more fail safe and interesting idea. I'm just not clear on how much I would need to add to make that work. Of course, if the SyncroLinc fries, I'll be looking at alternatives. Being a newbie to the ISY994i/PLM world, it's great to see all of the community support provided by everyone! Thanks again. ps. I'm working on getting other Insteon friends converted over from the 'dark side'...

I would like to monitor a basement sump pump with a 2423A5 SynchroLinc. My initial testing (in my home office with a lamp) has shown this is exactly what I need. I'm able to generate an email whenever the light powers on and off. I can't figure out how to make this work in the basement without access to the ISY99i. Do I add the device into the ISY and then head to the basement to set the "off" state, and then trigger the pump on to set the "on" state? All of this being done from the 2423A5? Sounds messy...but I suppose I can do that. Or do I need to do this first, and then add the device to the ISY? I'd love to hear ideas and thoughts...it doesn't appear that many folks are using the 2423A5. Thanks everyone!

Thanks Scott and thanks Bleepblorp! I guess I was thinking this would be more complicated. But in [Action], when [Wait] is selected, there's a "[ ] Random" radio box... Perfect!

I'm wondering if there's a way to create a daily (somewhat) random time to shut off lights using the "sunset time" + random number of minutes from 1-30 minutes. For example, if the sunset time is 7:00 PM, have the controller turn off the lights somewhere between 7:01 and 7:30. Then the following day perform the same thing...using a random number between 1 and 30. Any thoughts or ideas?
