I had hoped to use the following program to remotely turn on the lights in my dining room.

I can directly execute the then clause and that works perfectly. For some indeterminate period of time after I directly execute the then clause, the Remotelinc 2 button controls the X10 light switch. After a while using the Remotelinc 2 button causes an X10 A16 device to turn on and has no effect on the X10 A2 light switch.

 

I have a similar program to turn off the X10 A2 it performs similarly.

 

If

Control '1C.3F.D9 - C' is switched On

 

Then

Send X10 'A2/On (3)'

 

Else

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

 

I have an ISY Log, an ISY Error Log and a level 3 Event Log. I can detect nothing in any of that data to explain the actions I am witnessing.

I cannot think of an obvious explanation. The program looks proper to me. A couple of questions come to mind that may lead to further thoughts:

 

Does the event viewer show the ON command from the button ''1C.3F.D9 - C' ?

 

Is it possible that you are holding the button for too long, sending instead a "dim" command from that button?

 

Is it possible that the remotelinc has A16 assigned to it?

Try adding a Wait 2-3 seconds before issuing the X10 call. The RL2 sends a number of messages when a button is pressed. The Wait allows those messages to complete first.

 

Then

Wait 3 seconds

Send X10 'A2/On (3)'

LeeG's suggestion worked. I have burned out one of the light bulbs in the subject light fixture by turning it off and on so much for testing. Adding delays to both of my programs has them both working every time.

Glad to hear it is working. Thanks for taking the time to post back the results.
