Teken and Mark, the variable was being updated correctly on a change in temperature but I used your suggestion because it looks more elegant....). However, there is no value in the virtual device mode either in the Admin council or on the Polisy. It continues to show 0F. Thanks for the help so far!

I actually was trying a different route. Should this work?: Wine room - [ID 00C3][Parent 003A] If 'Basement closet / Basement closet sensor' Temperature is not 1000.0°F Then $vWine_room_temp = 'Basement closet / Basement closet sensor' Temperature °F Set 'Virtual Device Controller / Wine room' Set Temperature '$vWine_room_temp Fahrenheit' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

This looks awesome so had to give it a try! I got a node created but cannot seem to get a value into it, so I must be doing something wrong. What is the correct format for creating a temperature virtual node, for example? Should the temperature populate automagically from the value in the variable once the node server is restarted? Thank you!

Congratulations! Moving to the 5.x.x firmware and adding a Polisy has increased my fun level by 100x! I understand an Rpi is a lower initial investment but the Polisy just runs, easy updates, etc. Meaning minimal time investment, which was an important factor for me. Either way enjoy the brave new world of NodeServers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Correct, a simple mistake not SPAM. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Follow up question: does Polisy require the on-premise connected ISY to be on the 5.x.x branch for polyglot functionality? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For the record, I’m on 4.6.2. Teken, I like your idea. How are you planning to implement the hard reboot? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your runtime counter might have stopped during the DST transition. Mine did. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The experts will chime in I’m sure but my understanding is that the event that triggered the “Wait” function, in this case the motion sensor, has to be true when the Wait period ends. My guess is that the sensor is not detecting motion when your Wait expires so the siren is never switched on. I have learned (from this group) to call the “then” section of a separate program, which includes the Wait command, and it will run as you intend. Hope this helps. Let me know if you would like some examples and I can post later. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have seen and copied from other examples here a statement that "enables" the program before calling the then/else statement. Is this step not required? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Broyd, Did you ever make any progress on this? I would like to pull and store the same two values from an Everspring temp/humidity sensor. An additional complication is that the sensor only wakes up once per hour for a very short period to report status. But one step at a time! Thanks
