I have a keypad light which lights if the garage door is open. it was not working consistently for each of 2 doors. After much tribulation I finally figured out that the motor was sucking the status send command. After the door action, my ISY had the improper status until I did a query. What I need to figure out is how do I query the garage door status say 15 seconds after the garage door open/close button is pressed and the motor has stopped. I can't just do a wait 15 seconds after the command is done as it requires another 2 if statements, based on on or off conditions to light up the button or turn it off. Please help.

Does the status command do a query first? If not it will give the wrong status above. Can you query within a program to change the status?

"Does the status command do a query first? If not it will give the wrong status above. Can you query within a program to change the status?"

 

The If Status does not Query before reacting to a Status change. If the I/O Linc Sensor state change message is not making it to the PLM the If would not trigger because the Sensor state change did not reach the ISY.

 

A Program can issue a Query. If the Query changes the Sensor state a Program checking the Status will trigger. If it is the Program that issues the Query the Program will not trigger again until the current processing is complete or a Wait/Repeat is encountered.

Thanks. How does a program issue a query?

Then

Set 'IO Linc-Sensor' Query

I only have under then, action, insteon set ISY, query. Is that what you mean?

I realize now you mean to query the device name.

That is correct, Query the device that is not providing the needed state information (Status). I think the better approach is to fix the noise/absorption problem with the openers rather than do a Query.

I agree - fix the problem, not the symptom! Try a filterlinc on the door opener(s).
