Program If Condition - If Program Enabled

Not sure if it has been requested before but it would be handy if one of the 'if conditions' in a program could be 'If Program x is Enabled or Disabled'. I know I could use variables to build a work around but would be nice to have the conditions of programs enabled or disabled versus just the true or false that exists today.

I have a program that I enable when I go on vacation (turn on certain lights at set times, monitor activity in the house, etc.) I then have many multiple programs that run daily but a number of them I don't want running why I am on vacation. I therefore would like these programs to only run if my vacation program is disabled and want to add this to their if conditions.

Not that I disagree with the feature request - but couldn't you simply have an integer variable hold your 'I'm on vacation' status, and have your programs incorporate the state of the variable in their condition logic?

Hello jwagner010,

 

I must echo Michael's suggestion. As long as there's a workaround, the feature will go to the bottom of the requirements and, the way it has been historically, the likelihood of implementing it becomes very low.

 

Thanks again for the feedback.

With kind regards,

Michel

Have no problem using a work around. There isn't many things you cannot do with an if program, variables and network resources!!!! Was just hoping this was a simple enhancement given you can enable or disable a program in the conditions part of a program today so I thought (was hoping) adding it to the If part of a program maybe relatively simple. Have already built my work around, thanks for the consideration.
