Hi,

 

I just purchased the ELK/ISY integration module and am trying to get a simple program to work. When I open the door to the garage and it is dark outside, I want the garage lights to turn on for 5 minutes and then turn off. The program is below. The problem is the lights don't turn off.

 

Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?

 

If

Elk Zone 'Garage Door' is Violated

AND From sunset - 1 hour

To sunrise + 1 hour (next day)

 

Then

Set 'Inside Garage Lights' Fast On

Wait 5 minutes

Set 'Inside Garage Lights' Fast Off

 

Else

- No Actions

 

Thanks,

 

John

The problem is that EVERY time the door sensor changes from closed-to-open OR open-to-closed, the IF statement re-evaluates.

 

When you open the door, everything works as expected; the light turns on.

 

However, when you CLOSE the door, the IF re-evaluates to FALSE, interrupting the wait statement (and therefore never getting to the OFF command).

 

The best course of action is to make a second program that contains your current THEN commands - with NO IF statement.

 

Replace the currenT program's THEN clause with an "execute second program THEN".

 

You will then get the desired behavior.

Thanks! That worked.
