the device does require a slightly more techie user than say what attracts the “plug-n-play” crowd. I have 4 ratgdo’s. I’ll admit in the beginning it was a tough go. The first I tried to install never worked correctly in security 2.0, but the root cause wasn’t the ratgdo, it turned out to be yet ANOTHER defective LM889. However I probably spent a few weeks worth of leftover time trying to figure it out. Finally I had the thought let’s go install one on a newer operator I have, that worked well first try! Next I moved to the barn, it actually turned out that I had mis-remembered the color of the learn button there and had to set that one up security 1.0, but it too worked first try. Next I moved to the last remaining door, that too installed perfectly first try. This brought us to an interesting point in time because I still couldn’t leave the first connected and its operator was exactly the same model and vintage. Went back to reading closed GitHub issues using ChatGPT as a search engine (what an amazing use of ChatGPT too!) It suddenly occurred to me… the wall control—it’s what’s driving the 24/7 conversation between the operator and itself, ratgdo “sorta” just eavesdrops. So as a test I swapped the identical LM889 keypad. Yup, the problem moved. {see yet another liftmaster/chamberlain rant below}. Ordered a new one from Amazon, arrived, installed. All 4 doors have been fully functional since. my issue with the ratgdo guy is the he essentially provides zero support and his documentation in my opinion lacks substance and is poorly organized. on the topic of another LiftMaster/Chamberlain rant. They have or had a couple recall/Replacement programs for LM888/LM889 … but get this! You are limited to ONE per address forever. I replaced an original LM888 when it went bad for free from LiftMaster support. Then I upgraded 3 to LM889 when I wanted to use MyQ back in 2016. All of those have been replaced once because they failed, and now one has been a second time for the ratgdo issue above. So @oke10710 don’t just come here to air your dirty laundry. If you want to figure out what wrong create a new thread and ask for help, but don’t just tell us “it doesn’t work out of box” like you have here. Tell us exactly which firmware you picked and why you made that choice. Then post your log or a snip from your log that shows the issue. Somebody might help figure your issue out. I’ve asked the moderator to close this thread, your rant is off topic in this thread. If you need help solving your issue make a new thread.

That would need to be enabled to pick up the button pressed, but I now see why you have it disabled too, so it would likely need to be two programs as you started if button pressed run program A program A (not enabled) If switch status 0 then turn on else turn off and that should work also I’m assuming you can’t simply use an ISY scene? To be honest at this point I’ll bow out and let someone with Caseta specific knowledge help. I’ve done alot of complicated isy programs, but I don’t actually have anything Lutron.

And make certain you don’t have multiple versions of the program responding… those disabled folders do come in handy for that, just be careful how used because they can blindside you.

Try if c-Button pressed and owners… status is off then turn on else turn off

This says, if the switch is not off then turn it off. —— Time out tho…. what are you specifically trying to accomplish here? And why do you have “on” in a scene name? That will be confusing.

If there is a disabled folder anywhere in the tree above the program, the program will NOT run. you can right click the program name in the tree and chose ‘run then’ or ‘run else’ to test the program’s functionality. Note those won’t run if there’s a folder disabled above. To correctly post programs to the forum right click the name and choose ‘copy to clipboard’ at the bottom of the context menu. Then paste into the message.

This can’t work for eisy/ISY. The alternate email address can be used by a device connected to iMessage eco system (i.e. an Apple device logged into iMessage). If a non-Apple device sends a text message to the alternate address it will either fail, or end up being converted email and land in the email box i.e. the dummy gmail you suggest creating. I’ve used Pushover since long before the Notification plugin, but if you’re insistent not using a 3rd party install the UD mobile app and use the Notification feature.

A few improvements, a variable isn’t really needed. ------------------------------------------------- Motion turns On Switch If 'Motion Detector' is switched On (Control) Then Set 'Test Switch' On Wait 1 minute Set 'Test Switch' Off ------------------------------------------------- Override - Stop the Timer If 'Test Switch' is switched On (Control) And ‘Test Switch’ status is On Then Disable ‘Motion turns on Switch’ Stop program 'Motion turns on Switch' ** if light is on and on toggle is pressed ** I’m not sure you need both disable and stop, but disable is definitely needed. (Disable may or may not also stop, try it I can’t remember off the top of my head.) point to consider: the way you had the program, even tho you stopped the program, it would still retrigger next time there is motion. ------------------------------------------------- Set Variable >>>> (to prevent motion restarting timer) If 'Test Switch' is switched off And 'Test Switch' Status is off. Then Wait 10 seconds Enable program ‘Motion turns on switch’ ** if light is turned off once, the motion will not be reenabled, and light will stay off. ** If switch is turned off, then turned off again, then re-enable the motion. ** to always re-enable to motion just delete the “and” line in the if statement. ** the wait 10 seconds lets you get away without the motion turning the light on for 1 minute. ------------------------------------------------- Disable is under Programs on the menu. Without Disabling the program addition motion will retrigger it. Stop only interrupts the wait, and prevents the off statement from being run. another consideration: I assume you’re using an Insteon motion (which I don’t have) batttery powered motions typically don’t retransmit often to save battery. I’m not sure if the delay can be adjusted. But keep that in mind when figuring out the delay the light stays on, it must be at least as long as the time period the motion waits to transmit again.

Are you utilizing the portal geofence? With perhaps Locative? Or the UD mobile App then YES the program should run when KBM Home changes state. So leaving and anrriving and time triggers will both trigger the program. I’d change the end time to 11:59:59 pm, for one it’s easier to understand at a glance, second there was once wonkyness with 12:00:00 AM and next day/same day. I don’t remember the details but I think it got fixed.

I’ve been thinking about this issue and only have two suggestions left: leave it alone and don’t fiddle with it as @paulbates suggests. If that doesn’t solve it, then please delete the saved programs, then click save, close the admin console, delete the admin console, clear the Java cache, redownload and install a fresh copy of the admin console, then configure the time zone in the admin console and add a test program, save it and leave it alone. also please create an integer variable called test or something and have the then statement set test = test + 1 so that you can determine the program is in fact not firing. Maybe the underlying problem is the program is running but there’s a communication issue.

You might open a ticket with support, it should work easily. Been using it for many years—so the function does indeed work.

Right, in each case the first ‘if’ element makes the program true, which causes ‘then’ to run. The second ‘if’ element makes the program false, which causes ‘else’ to run.

Add to program: schedule change “time is” to “from” “To” will magic appear, allowing something like ‘from sunset for 4 hours”

In the upper right corner of the first screenshot it shows your next sunset to be at 7:52 pm, I’m not sure why with the offset you have set it would show about 30 min after, but it looks correct. BTW, if you haven’t discovered this: if Sunset to Sunrise then Turn on something else Turn off something “then” will run at sunset, “else” will run at sunrise. those two things are the only things the program does, specifically it does not enforce that “something” will remain on during that time, it only send 1 on command and one off command at the times listed. obviously, something like sunset to 11pm will work just fine too.

@CWM please check your chain of folders above this program. If any are disabled folders (IF condition in folder if is false) the program will not run either automatically or manually selecting “run then”. I suspect you have that issue. also check your time zone in the configuration section and then reboot the ISY. @Ross thanks for the kind words.
