questions on toggling events

[rschneid]

I am executing toggle events via voice and would like a check on the way I am doing it.

I am using three programs to control the toggling. It is working reliably .

Is my use of disables and waits sensible? I can't remember how I got to this point and I am wondering if there is a better way.

 

 

MASTER PROGRAM - the only one that I call directly (typically from SIRI -> ProxyServer -> Ruby -> ISY99)

If

Status 'Fire-Relay' is Off

 

Then

Run Program 'fireOn' (Then Path)

 

Else

Run Program 'fireOff' (Then Path)

 

 

 

 

 

TURNS IT ON

- No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition')

 

Then

Disable Program 'fire'

Set 'Fire-Relay' On

Wait 5 seconds

Enable Program 'fire'

 

Else

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

 

 

TURNS IT OFF

If

- No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition')

 

Then

Disable Program 'fire'

Set 'Fire-Relay' Off

Wait 5 seconds

Enable Program 'fire'

 

Else

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

Since your triggering the master program manually, you might as well just leave it disabled. No need to disable/re-enable.

 

How about this instead:

 

MASTER PROGRAM (DISABLED ALWAYS) - the only one that I call directly (typically from SIRI -> ProxyServer -> Ruby -> ISY99)

If
Status 'Fire-Relay' is Off

Then
Run Program 'fireOn' (Then Path)

Else
Run Program 'fireOn' (Else Path)

 

 

 

 

 

TURNS IT ON/OFF (ALWAYS DISABLED)

If
- No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition')

Then
Set 'Fire-Relay' On

Else
Set 'Fire-Relay' Off

Thank you. Much cleaner!!! Converting everything over. Not sure why I was doing that.

Its way faster to program this way.

Actually, now that I look at it again, you only need the master program:

 

FireToggle (ALWAYS DISABLED)

 

If
Status 'Fire-Relay' is Off

Then
Set 'Fire-Relay' On (Then Path)

Else
Set 'Fire-Relay' On (Else Path)

While it is fine to disable the second program, it isn't necessary. A disabled program blocks the "if" section from self triggering. When the "if" is empty, it can't self trigger anyway.

 

But I do agree, it is better to merge the programs into 1 anyway.
