I've started to see this error and the backup process stops about 80% complete: "Could not retrieve file/Conf/9.PRP. Any thoughts on how to resolve? Thank-you.

Interesting. Can you tell me more about how you wire these to the I/O linc? Is it a case of wiring a common terminal to the same on the I/O linc and nc to nc on the I/O linc? Thanks.

Thanks for the idea but the issue here is distance from my wifi. The capability of the Guardline sensor to cover that distance is the benefit.

Thanks for the reply but I want to be sure what I am going to do is correct. I have a Guardline 500 Ft. Range Outdoor Sensor with the corresponding Guardline receiver. That receiver has the following terminals: -, +, NC, COM, NO. The I/O linc has: 5V, Gnd, Sensor, N/C, N/O, COM. I am not certain what to connect to what and don't wish to damage either component. Help appreciated.

Would you mind clarifying? I have an IO linc but I am not certain how to accomplish the wiring. Essentially I want the Guardline receiver to trigger a motion event to the I/O linc and then programming to send an Insteon signal after that. Is that possible? Many thanks.

Have you or anyone been able to integrate a Guardline Motion Sensor system into your ISY setup? If so I would be curious to know how. Many thanks.

Thanks so much for your replies. I appreciate the time you took to read and reply. Your posts made so much sense. i’ve modified much of my programming to make it easier and more practical.

I don't think I get this then. The way I structured both of these codes around the use of parentheses, in the second code for example, for the lights to come on shouldn't $Int_1 have to equal 1 AND also be after sunset AND a sensor to trigger? ie all three conditions must be met before the light comes on?

....also this program is also running during the day time: actually, only one of these motions though calls the program "Rear Lights On". Again at this time $Int_1 is 0 and it is daylight. Thanks. Rear Motions Active If ( $Int_1 is 1 And From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) And Control 'Motion Sensors / Rear Deck South Side-Senso' is switched On Or Control 'Motion Sensors / Patio-Sensor' is switched On Or Control 'Motion Sensors / West Gate Motion Sensor-Senso' is switched On ) Then Run Program 'Rear Lights On' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

So now I am confused. Why does this program turn off my outdoor lights at 8:50 pm? By the way, at this time $Int_1 is 0 and the garage light is already on. Run Program 'Garage Lights On' (Then Path) should not run but I think it must be. Thanks. Driveway Motion Active If ( $Int_1 is 1 And From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) And Control 'Motion Sensors / Driveway Motion Sensor-Sensor' is switched On ) Then Run Program 'Garage Lights On' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Garage Lights On If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Outside / House Front (load)' On Wait 20 minutes Set 'Outside / House Front (load)' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program to be used for various reasons.

No it is not part of the scene. I read through some documents on ISY and amended my code to that below. Is this cleaner? Rear Motions Active - [ID 000A][Parent 0001] If From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) And ( Control 'Motion Sensors / Rear Deck South Side-Senso' is switched On Or Control 'Motion Sensors / Patio-Sensor' is switched On ) Then Set Scene 'Rear Motion Activity' On Send Notification to 'Rear Motion Activated' Wait 7 minutes Set Scene 'Rear Motion Activity' Off Else Set Scene 'Rear Motion Activity' Off

Thanks for all the thoughts. With the sensors I have should I be using the jumpers the control the sensor settings or the software or does it not matter? So now I have this code and the lights are coming on during the daytime (and only one sensor is triggering them). What is going wrong? Rear Motions Active If From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) And Control 'Motion Sensors / Rear Deck South Side-Senso' is switched On Or Control 'Motion Sensors / Patio-Sensor' is switched On Then Set Scene 'Rear Motion Activity' On Send Notification to 'Rear Motion Activated' Wait 7 minutes Set Scene 'Rear Motion Activity' Off Else Set Scene 'Rear Motion Activity' Off

Thanks for taking the time to reply and I will try your suggestion. Yes, I edited the line wrong in my forum post. It read in the admin console "And Status 'Garage / Garage Sensor' is Off". Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for looking and replying. Is it better to always have the time check first in code?

That worked. I would like to know why though as I thought my initial programming was saying "if the light is on don't turn it on". How could I expand this programming if I need the light to stay on for a few more hours until my 11 pm script turns all outside lights off? Or.....would it be better to run this motion activated script only after 11 pm (or after my outside light scene = not on)? Hope that makes sense. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hmmm. So this above programming does something: it turns the requested light on and off every ~ second. Looks like I am trying to raise the neighbors attention.

First, I have the newer Insteon Motion Sensor and my ISY is on 4.7.3. Trying to get the code below to run. I see a green LED light up on the motion when I approach it but no event triggered. Is there something obvious here I am missing? Thank-you. Driveway Motion If Control 'Motion Sensors / Driveway Motion Sensor-Sensor' is switched On And Status 'Outside / House Front (load)' is not On And From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) Then Set Scene 'Front House Lights' On Set 'Main Floor / Foyer Lamp' On Wait 15 minutes Set Scene 'Front House Lights' Off Set 'Main Floor / Foyer Lamp' Off Else Set Scene 'Front House Lights' Off Set 'Main Floor / Foyer Lamp' Off

Hello, I have the I/O Linc Garage Door Control and Status Kit set up to sense the status of the garage door: open or closed. At night, I am seeking to trigger lights to turn off (for if we arrive home and the outside lights are off for example). Do you know why this code fails to turn on any lights if they are off? Many thanks. Garage Door/Outside Lights If Status 'Garage / Garage Sensor' is Off And Status 'Outside / House Front (load)' is switched Off And From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) Then Set 'Outside / House Front (load)' On Wait 15 minutes Set 'Outside / House Front (load)' Off Else Set 'Outside / House Front (load)' Off

This was really, really helpful. Thanks so much for taking the time to educate on this. I have gone with your single program (using OR) and I am sure this will do the trick. I'll later try adding some programming to notify me by txt how often the program was run overnight. I think I saw something in the cookbook on that. Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply. Thought through my needs and here they are.... Between sunset and sunrise, any motion sensed by one of three motion detectors would send an "'ON" command to a set of flood lights all in a scene called "flood lights". After ~ 15 minutes of no motion (from any motion) the scene would turn OFF. Subsequent motion would again trigger the ON command. Additional motion sensed when the scene is on would set the timer back to 15 min. If the lights are on at sunrise they are then turned OFF. Daily txt summarizing the number of timers if any the scene was triggered (optional). How about this programming for 1-5 for example? Program 1: South Side Motion Active If Control 'Outside / Rear Deck South Side-Senso' is switched On And From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) Then Set Scene 'Flood Lights' On Wait 15 minutes Else Set Scene 'Flood Lights' Off Program 2: East Side Motion Active If Control 'Outside / Rear Deck East Side-Senso' is switched On And From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) Then Set Scene 'Flood Lights' On Wait 15 minutes Else Set Scene 'Flood Lights' Off Program 3: If Time is Sunrise Then Set Scene 'Flood Lights' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I am using the program below to trigger an outside flood light at night. Is this the best code in which to trigger this? I get a bit confused if I need Control for motions or Status changes. Many thanks. I put in the variable so that if another motion is triggered (there are several at various locations outside) then it checks if the light is already on so not to interrupt the 15 min timer. Rather than the immediate notification I might just change that to a morning email on how many times the motion was triggered last night (if any). Open to better code suggestions. Thanks again. South Side Motion Active If Control 'Outside / Rear Deck South Side-Senso' is switched On And From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) And $Sensor_Count is 0 Then Set Scene 'Flood Lights' On Send Notification to 'South Side Motion Activated' $Sensor_Count = 1 Wait 15 minutes $Sensor_Count = 0 Else Set Scene 'Flood Lights' Off

Correct, at night, the lights are turning off even when the garage is open. They are not turning off or on during the day so the sunset to sunrise portion of the program is working fine. But.....an experiment tonight.....I closed the garage and then turned the outside lights on manually. Again, they went off by themselves after several minutes. I can't find anywhere in other programming a cue to turn the outside lights off after x minutes.

What I am doing....when it is dark outside, our outside lights turn on when the garage is opened and turn off when it is closed. I have the Insteon garage sensor kit monitoring my door.

I have a program that if my garage door sensor is "Off" (and between sunset and sunrise the next day) an outside light is turned on until the garage is closed (sensor = "on") when it goes off. Lately, perhaps it was doing this all along, the outside light turns off even though the sensor is still "Off" i.e. the garage door is still open. I have looked through my programming and cannot find anywhere that the light should be turning off. My program is below. Any thoughts? Many thanks. IF From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) And Status 'Garage / 3D.E4.0D-Sensor' is Off Then Set Scene 'Garage Door State' On Else Set Scene 'Garage Door State' Off

Thanks for the replies. Very helpful and I have the keypad now working as I need it to.
