I currently have 7 battery powered devices (5 Insteon motion sensors and 2 hidden door sensors).  I have setup a series of email messages so I am notified when the battery is low in any of these devices.

 

Ever since setup, I receive the email for every device at the set times.  I have one of the motion sensors low battery showing "On", however, when it senses motion it only blinks once.  All others are "Off".  So I am assuming that there is something wrong with the program below.  I wrote one program for each individual device since I have a different message for each one.

 

 

If

        Control 'Basement / Basement - Front MS-Low Bat' is switched On

    And Time is  3:00:00PM

     Or Time is  6:00:00PM

 

Then

        Send Notification to 'Cassius' content 'Basement Front Motion Sensor Low Battery'

 

Else

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

 

 

Does anyone see anything wrong here?  Thanks in advance for your assistance.

The "switched On" is Anded with the first time of 3 PM.

 

The second time 6 PM is not Anded with the "switched On" without the parens

Excellent...thanks LeeG!

In addition, I believe you need to query the Low Batt node of the motion sensor to clear the low batt status.

I think you might have to do "if status on" as it's unlikely the action of going on will happen at exactly 3 or 6 pm to cause the then statement to run... Of course, with "if status on" you'll get notified everyday at 3 and 6 until you clear it.
