Hi,

 

I want to test the heartbeat, really I want a program letting me know when it doesnt see a heartbeat but I made this:

 

If
       Status  'Leak Brown Bath -Heartbeat' is On
    Or Status  'Leak Pink Bath-Heartbeat' is On
    Or Status  'Leak Main Boiler-Heartbeat' is On
    Or Status  'Leak Office Boiler-Heartbeat' is On

Then
       Repeat Every  6 hours and 1 minute 
          Send Notification to 'Entire House Email' content 'Water Sensor Battery'

Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

 

I was expecting that when the heartbeat was heard by the ISY, i would get emails every 6 hours. I have not been sent an email.

 

Ideally I will switch the heartbeat "ON" to "OFF" once I see the program works.

 

Any idea why it doesnt work?

 

Thanks,

Rich

ISY Programs are triggered by a "change" in Status. There would not normally be a change in Heartbeat Status. Use If Control to monitor the Heartbeat node.

 

If
       Control 'Leak Sensor-Heartbeat' is switched On
    Or Control 'Leak Sensor-Heartbeat' is switched Off

Then
       Wait  25 hours 
       Send X10 'A10/All Lights On (5)'

Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

 

The command sent with the Heartbeat message depends on the Wet/Dry state of the Leak Sensor.

 

Each Leak Sensor has to be monitored individually as they are all on a different 24 hour cycle.

Lee,

 

Using your control program, it waits each day for 25 then sends an on command? Do you get a heartbeat email each day or a light that goes on each day?

 

Thanks,

Rich

The Heartbeat message should occur every 24 hours. The next Heartbeat message interrupts the Wait 25 hours at the 24 hour mark, starting a new 25 hour Wait. The X10 message will not be issued so long as the Leak Sensor sends a Heartbeat message every 24 hours. It makes more sense to issue a Notify rather than the X10 message. I don't use a Notify because this Leak Sensor is in a test bed.

So this looks correct?

 

If
       Control 'Leak Pink Bath-Heartbeat' is switched On
    Or Control 'Leak Pink Bath-Heartbeat' is switched Off

Then
       Wait  25 hours 
       Repeat Every  6 hours and 1 minute 
          Send Notification to 'Entire House Email' content 'Water Sensor Battery'

Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Looks good to me.
