Help w/Programming Alarm not armed reminder in ISY

[Scottmichaelj]

Right now I have a simple program on the ISY that if at a certain time the alarm is not armed then it says via the ELK speaker "Alarm Disarmed" - but I want to take it up a notch. Can someone help me keep it this way but add that if its not armed within say 30mins then to keep reminding me until it is armed? Is this an ELSE or Variable action?

Hi huddadudda,

 

What you need to do is to put a Wait in the Then block. This way, the wait will be interrupted in case ELK is armed.

 

i.e.

If

Then

Wait 30 minutes

Repeat every 10 minutes

Notify

 

In short, both Wait and Repeat are terminated as soon as the condition turns false. Otherwise, after 30 minutes, you will get notified every 10 minutes.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Thanks Michel, I added those lines and will try this tonight. I don't need to put an end time?

Hi huddadudda,

 

You definitely need an end time IF AND ONLY IF you want ISY to stop reminding you if outside of the end time.

 

With kind regards,

Then

Repeat Every 30 minutes

Set Elk Speak Word 'Alarm'

Set Elk Speak Word 'Is_disarmed'
