jeffpdavis1 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I've got a problem with a TriggerLinc (2421) v.34 on a door that definitely is responding by showing a status of On(Opened) and Off (Closed). The jumper is installed on the TriggerLinc, so only one node is active. I've watched it in Mobilinc change even when opening and closing fast. The problem is that a program doesn't exit from a Wait command to reevaluate the If condition in the way I thought it would. Here's my Furnace Room Opened program: Furnace Room Opened If Control 'Garage-Furnace Room / Furnace Room-Opened' is switched On Then Set 'Garage-Furnace Room / Furnace Room Lights' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Comment: When door is opened turn the lights on indefinitely. ...and the Furnace Room Closed program: Furnace Room Closed If Control 'Garage-Furnace Room / Furnace Room-Opened' is switched Off Then Wait 15 minutes Set 'Garage-Furnace Room / Furnace Room Lights' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Comment: When door is closed, wait 15 minutes and then turn the lights off so someone in there will have time. If more time is needed, prop the door open If I walk in there to spend more than 15 minutes and forget to prop the door open and it closes, the CLOSED program is triggered correctly and starts the wait time. I usually realize my mistake in not propping the door and then go back and open it again to prop it open. The problem is that the OPENED program is triggered correctly (although it changes nothing since the lights are already on), but it doesn't trigger a reevaluation of the CLOSED program condition and stop running the THEN clause in it. I've also tried combining the two programs in one but it didn't work either: Furnace Room Lights If Control 'Garage-Furnace Room / Furnace Room-Opened' is switched On Then Set 'Garage-Furnace Room / Furnace Room Lights' On Else Wait 15 minutes Set 'Garage-Furnace Room / Furnace Room Lights' Off What am I doing wrong?

Xathros Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Try this: If Control 'Garage-Furnace Room / Furnace Room-Opened' is switched On And Control 'Garage-Furnace Room / Furnace Room-Opened' is not switched Off Then Set 'Garage-Furnace Room / Furnace Room Lights' On Else Wait 15 minutes Set 'Garage-Furnace Room / Furnace Room Lights' Off When using Control you need to specify each control signal that you want to trigger on. If you used Status instead, a one liner would have worked. -Xathros Link to comment
