OOPS I deleted "Query All" by mistake

[phlash73]

Can somebody please post what was in it?  I think it was set to run at 3am, from the factory.

I see "query" as an option when adding a program, but no "all" option.

I dont remember what the program actually said.

Also how did it initially start?

 

And, how necessary is it?

 

Thanks in advance

The 'My Lighting' Scene name is valid for my system as it was migrated from a 99i years ago.   Look at the name just below Network under the Main tab.  If My Lighting the posted Program is fine.  The name could be 'ISY' if the system was created in a 994i. If you have 'ISY' below Network, change 'My Lighting' to 'ISY'. 

 

 

QueryAll - [iD 0072][Parent 0001]

 

If

        Time is  3:00:00AM

 

Then

        Set Scene 'My Lighting' Query

 

Else

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

Query All - [ID 0002][Parent 0001]


If

        Time is  3:00:00AM


Then

        Set Scene 'ISY' Query


Else

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


Factory Query Program

I'm confused as to what the purpose of this query program is? I'm about to migrate from an ISY-99 to a 994 and I see in the directions to be sure and point the query all program to point to the main scene. I've attached a screenshot of my ISY main page.

 

I appreciate any clarification,

This just sequentially queries all devices to insure that ISY's statuses are current and in sync. It is usually done in the middle of the night to avoid tying up the CPU while other activities are going on.

The QueryAll Program has a "Set Scene" statement that should point to the selected item "All Devices" in the posted image. That item has been renamed from "My Lighting" on the 99i.

Would it make sense to run this program more often than just once/day?

I wouldn't.

I deleted mine and ran without it for several months and never noticed any incorrect statuses.

 

ISY/Insteon is fairly accurate with it's retries etc. If you repeat it during the busy hours you may delay or miss some HA operations.

I agree with larryllix, no need to run multiple times a day.   The Insteon network would have to be poor for there to be a need.  If the Insteon network were/is that poor it would need work, not more queries.
