Manually triggering a program


rcxyz

Recommended Posts

I just purchased Mobilinc Pro (iOS on iPhone 5s), and I would like to manually trigger a program on my ISY to, for example, turn the outside lights on. If I could figure out how to set a variable from my phone, that would work, but I don't know how to do that.

 

Can anyone tell me how you have done this?

 

Thanks!

I use programs that I know will execute the exact sequence I want. select and run Then.

 

Variables (MUST BE STATE) can be changed in MobiLinc Android. Just set up  a program like this.

 

 

If

   $State.variable = 1234

Then

    do something

    Wait 1 second

     $State.variable = 0

Else

  ----

 

1234 was selected so you don't change it by accident. Any value would do, usually people use a non-zero value and use zero for no action/False/nothing.

 

ISY sees the change and triggers the logic testing of any program with it's name in it.

Do you run the Then Command program by selecting the settings cog on the program icon from your dash board? That seems manageable. I was hoping for a one button solution, but that may be asking for too much.

 

Thanks!

Oh, it looks like I can configure the dashboard command to run the Then Command. I think that will give me the one button solution. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
