Yes definitely test the module without the load, and/or a plain load, like an incandescent light bulb. Characteristics of the low voltage transformer may have changed as it aged. and/or it’s always generated some noise but not enough to be a problem. Then something else you’ve added recently has added to that and pushed the electrical noise over the limit. It’s also possibly that the DIN rail module itself has had some component fail, but I think that’s less likely. As I mentioned in my first reply, and @Brian H echo’d, when I module turns on reliably but won’t turn off, the problem is almost always noise caused by the load itself. The load is off and not generating noise, the ON command will work fine, once the load is on and generating noise the OFF command can no longer be heard by the module.

What happens if the load is disconnected? And what is the load in question? turns on, but can’t turn off is almost always caused by the load generating electrical noise.

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.

Please right click the program name in the program tree and choose copy to clipboard. Paste that here in a reply.

5.3.0 is pretty old. many bugs have been repaired since. at some point you should consider upgrading. The most important question is what happens when you attempt to turn the scene on or off via the buttons in the admin console? does it work from there? Next move to the programs tab and click then right click the program name, choose Run Then and then do it again and Choose Run Else. did it work from here?

is sync actually still around? my memory is that it flushes the disk cache to disk, but doesn't shutdown. Not sure why anyone needs that with eisy et al. When we ran a live multi-user system it was used in backup scripts after all users had signed out or been forced off.

As @Teken explains in the thread linked below there are 3 different link sensor behaviors re: reset

not an expert here but suggestions, is the java control panel set to high or very high? If very high then try high. Looks like you can create an exception list too, but I have absolutely no idea what needs to go there..

What does the "more information" button reveal? I expect the certificate expired.

to add to @Brian H comments, the fastest way to know if you have Pro vs non-pro is to look at the admin console ribbon... if you see these two buttons at the end of the ribbon you have pro, if they are missing you have non-pro. The second fastest way to check is Help>About.... the section about product will contain the word "pro" probably on the first line of that section. If you don't have pro, it can't be added anymore because the 994 is deprecated.
