what can interrupt a WAIT command

[MikeB]

I have a question. If the following program was running because, say, the thermostat had a temperature of 80 degrees:

 

If
         Status  'Thermostat' > 78° (Temperature)

Then
       Wait  5 minutes
       Set 'Thermostat' 75° (Cool Setpoint)

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

 

And 2 minutes into the WAIT command the temperature went up to 81 degrees, would the program restart itself and the 5 minute wait period? Or would it continue to run through the original 5 minute WAIT?

 

Thanks!

The program would restart itself (and the 5 minute wait) because the Temperature status of 'Thermostat' would have changed.

 

If you don't want it to stop, then you could do the following:

 

If 
       Status  'Thermostat' > 78° (Temperature) 
   And Program 'Change Setpoint' is False

Then 
       Run Program 'Change Setpoint' (Then Path) 

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

'Change Setpoint'

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

Then
       Wait  5 minutes 
       Set 'Thermostat' 75° (Cool Setpoint)
       Run Program 'Change Setpoint' (Else path)

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

Thanks... I had a feeling that might be the case.
