  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. 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')
  6. 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
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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
  10. Thanks for the replies. Very helpful and I have the keypad now working as I need it to.
  11. Thanks for the replies. Just to clarify, I want one of the non-load buttons (A, B, C or D) to light up when the garage door sensor is off and to go off when it is "on". I also want another button to light up when downstairs lights are on so I can hit that button to turn them off from upstairs. Then I want that button's LED light to turn off. Here is some code.... IF From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) And Status 'Garage / 3D.E4.0D-Sensor' is Off Then Set 'Outside / House Front (load)' On Set 'Main Floor / Kitchen Garage Key' On 5 / Off 0 (Backlight Level) Else Set 'Outside / House Front (load)' Off Set 'Main Floor / Kitchen Garage Key' On 0 / Off 0 (Backlight Level) I dont really understand the On/Off backlight levels. Can you suggest the correct code to use. Many thanks.
  12. I am sure the answer is simple. I have a 6 button keypad that won't reliably turn on the LED back lighting when the load is switched on or off for example or when a program is supposed to turn the LED back lighting "on" upon an event. I am a little confused by the programming for the LED settings. Advice welcome. Many thanks.
