I use an X_10 module to execute the following program:

 

If
        Status  'Door Sensors (On or Off)' is 100%
 
Then
        Enable Program 'Back Door (Open)'
        Enable Program 'Front Door (Open)'
 
Else
        Disable Program 'Back Door (Open)'
        Disable Program 'Front Door (Open)'
 

The X-10 properly displays its On/Off status. however, the devices display neither an On or Off status. The program executes correctly.

 

The second problem,involves display of the heartbeat. I never see anything.

 

Thoughts?

Hello smokegrub,

 

I am not certain I understand where X10 comes in and what devices you are referring to.

 

As far as HeartBeat, it should come every 24 hours. Do you get status updates when you open/close the door?

 

With kind regards,
Michel

The following program for the back door sensor and its duplicate for the front door sensor are enabled by an On command to the X-10:

 

If
        Status  'Door Sensors / Back Door Sensor / Back Door Sensor' is 100%
 
Then
        Send Notification to 'Donnie' content 'Wolf Creek (Back Door)'
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
 

The program runs as designed and I get the email messages when the doors are opened. The status of the x-10 displays but the staus of each f the sensors is blank. Also, I never get any information about battery statuses.

"but the staus of each f the sensors is blank. Also, I never get any information about battery statuses."

 

Do not know what "f the sensors is blank" means.

 

The Low Battery node turns On when the battery is Low, otherwise the node is blank. If you want the Low Bat node to show Off, put the Hidden Door Sensor into manual linking mode. Right click the Low Bat node and select Query. Assuming the battery is Ok the Low Bat node will indicate Off. Be sure to take the Hidden Door Sensor out of linking mode so something unknown is not linked by mistake.

Can you clarify what you mean by "the X10".

I will get back later and start a new thread when I better understand and describe the problem. Thanks.
