Water Sensor Program Questions?

[RichTJ99]

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,

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.
