Program to help remember to arm the Elk

[jmed999]

I need help with a program. My wife and I have a bad habit of forgetting to arm the alarm when we go to sleep at night. We go to bed about 10PM and turn a lamp on as we go to bed via a remotelinc2. We then arm the alarm (when we remember) via the same remotelinc2. Once we finish reading and are ready for bed, we turn the lamp off via the remotelinc2.

 

I was thinking about how to write a program to have the lamp blink once to remind us to arm the alarm.

 

So if after 9:30PM, and when we turn the lamp off (finished reading and ready to sleep), and if the alarm isn't armed, then have the lamp blink once (on, wait, off).

 

I'm just not sure how a program like that would look. It's the "when we turn the lamp off" part that has me stumped. Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

Two thoughts..can you write a prgm that when you turn the lamp off, after a certain time, that will automatically arm the alarm. I don't have the Elk but I seem to recall reading that the ISY could arm and disarm it.

 

If
Time is from 9:30pm
  to 5:30am (next day)
And Control 'RemoteLinc button' is Turned Off
And 'Elk' is Disarmed

Then
Arm Elk

Else
nothing

Otherwise the same program can be used to flash the light. Just change Arm Elk to

 

Then
Turn light on
Wait 1 sec
Turn Light Off
