how to get dusk & logs to work on new ISY-994i

[jim_]

Hi, just purchased an ISY-994i to replace an X10 system from the 90’s running on a DOS controller

This type of programming is completely new to me, so what may be obvious to others is something I am struggling to understand.

 

I am using 2 lamp modules to test with and mixing in some existing Leviton control switches … this is my test program which does not trigger at DUSK.

 

IF –         Program ‘Dusk’ is True

Then –   Set Module_1 On

               Wait 10 seconds

               Set Module_2 On

               Send X10 ‘C1/On (3)’   <<< Leviton control switch

Else -     Set Module_1 Off

               Set Module_2 Off

 

Nothing happens when the Sunrise/Sunset time surpasses the Sunset time ?

 

Next,

there are no Diagnostic / Event Logs being generated … how do you enable them ?

Check that the Sunrise does not say (same day).   It should be set to (next day).  Post the actual Program (right click on Program name and select last option Copy to Clipboard).   Paste into forum post.

 

Wrong

 

If

        From    Sunset 

        To      Sunrise (same day)

 

 

Right

 

If

        From    Sunset 

        To      Sunrise (next day)

 

Then

If

        From    Sunset 

        To      Sunrise (next day)

 

won't do anything unless there is another trigger condition.

 

If

        Time is Sunset (or Sunrise)

 

will be true at that particular time. No other conditions are needed.

Does the Then not trigger at Sunset and Else trigger at Sunrise?

 

If

        From    Sunset 

        To      Sunrise (next day)

 

Then

Thanks for the info, but here comes the questions on editing

 

Editing the program, the first pull down in the If condition window only has "And" & "Or" to select

 

How do I get a pull down to select "From" & "To" ?

 

Cheers

ADd To Program: Schedule

 

Schedule: choose "from" in the window which shows "time"

Select Schedule

_{What is the DUSK program for / do ?}

 

_{If
        Program 'Dusk' is True}

forget it ... I see my error

 

[stusviews]

Here? Can you be more specific?

[jim_]

I created a program named DUSK ... I was not expecting it to be a select-able item when adding new programs

If

        From    Sunset 

        To      Sunrise (next day)

 

won't do anything unless there is another trigger condition.

 

 

What?

 

I have to disagree.  I believe this will trigger and run then at sunset and trigger and run else at sunrise.

It absolutely will.  I have several programs with this exact syntax that trigger appropriately.

[stusviews]

That's good to know. One program for both dusk and dawn. Thanks.
