Program Question

[mcrean]

This program did not work properly. I was on vacation so Keypadlinc D was On. On Friday and Monday the program ran and executed 'Then' On Sat and Sun the program did not run the 'Then' Path. Is it a parenthesis issue?

 

If
       On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri
       Time is  5:30:00PM
    Or On Sat, Sun
       Time is 10:00:00AM
   And Status  'KeypadLinc D (Vacation)' is Off

Then
       Set 'Digital Picture Frame' On

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

 

Thanks again.

Hi Michael,

 

Is it a parenthesis issue?

Yes! Since And has precedence over Or, your program effectively says:

If 5:30pm on Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri Or (10:00am on Sat, Sun And KPLD is OFF),

whereas what (I believe) you wanted was:

(If 5:30pm on Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri Or 10:00am on Sat, Sun) And KPLD is OFF.

So, place an And (...) parenthesis around the two time conditions, and you should be good to go.
