IR Control not working as expected

I copied the programs from this forum or wiki and they don't work as I expected them too.

 

The first program works great - it turns on the lamp when I press the associated button on my Harmony remote:

 

If
        IR 'IR_002' is Pressed
    And Status  'Family Room / Table Lamps' is Off
 
Then
        Set Scene 'Family Room / Family Room Table Lamps' On
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
 
Second program works, but then the issue:
 
If
        IR 'IR_002' is Double Pressed
    And Status  'Family Room / Table Lamps' is not Off
 
Then
        Set Scene 'Family Room / Family Room Table Lamps' Off
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
 
 
What happens is that the lamp goes off, but then 1-2 seconds later, the lamp light comes back on?  Hoping someone could tell me why that is so?

I've not had good luck trying to use the Double Press, not sure why, but I use "Hold" instead.

 

Try changing your second program to:

If
        IR 'IR_002' is Held
    And Status  'Family Room / Table Lamps' is not Off

(etc)

then trigger the program by Holding (Long Press) the button for about 2 seconds.

 

Does that work reliably for you?

I have changed the program to 'held' and removed-  And Status  'Family Room / Table Lamps' is not Off

 

After that, I was able to get things to work correctly....  Thanks!
