tibbar Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Kitchen Door Open - [iD 0005][Parent 0001] If From Sunset + 15 minutes To Sunrise - 15 minutes (next day) And Control 'ZW Kitchen Door Lock' is switched Key/Manually Unlocked Then Set Scene 'Sofit / Sofit Backlanding' On Set Scene 'Sofit / Sofit Deck' Fast On Set Scene 'Sofit / Sofit Driveway' Fast On Set Scene 'Outside Rec Driveway' On Set Scene 'Garage Front Outside' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') This has run fine for quite a while but after last couple updates (current v.4.3.26) but lately light come on when the door is open in the middle of the day- why? What I would like is to lights to turn on when the door lock is unlocked but only when is "dark"- - 15 min after sunset to 15 min before sunrise. Any ideas? Link to comment
stusviews Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Do the lights consistently come on when the lock is key or manually unlocked during daylight hours or is the problem, intermittent? What is the result if you unlock the lock remotely during daylight hours? Link to comment
larryllix Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) You are going to need two programs to stop the program from triggering due to sunset by disabling that program so it only acts as a filter and not a trigger. If Control 'ZW Kitchen Door Lock' is switched Key/Manually Unlocked Then Run (If) 'Program2' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program2 (disabled) ------- -------- If From Sunset + 15 minutes To Sunrise - 15 minutes (next day) Then Set Scene 'Sofit / Sofit Backlanding' On Set Scene 'Sofit / Sofit Deck' Fast On Set Scene 'Sofit / Sofit Driveway' Fast On Set Scene 'Outside Rec Driveway' On Set Scene 'Garage Front Outside' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Edited October 29, 2015 by larryllix Link to comment
oberkc Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 My first inclination is to check the ISY time to see if it matches reality. Link to comment
tibbar Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Thanks guys. ISY time is correct. I'll give the two program approach (looks good) tomorrow during day time hours. Link to comment
larryllix Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 The two program approach may not solve the other problems your OP complained about (after reading more closely) but it may be worth a try. Link to comment
oberkc Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I don't believe the program changes suggested are going to solve your problem. (I am not sure they are even necessary...I think your program is fine as is. Yes, it will trigger at two times, but will be false at those two times since no CONTROL statement was received simultaneously.) Next steps, for me, would be to break this into small pieces. I would now determine whether the program is triggering (if not, why not) or, if triggering, why the response is not as expected. If ISY time is correct, I would confirm (from program summary list) that the program ran and runs as expected. When did it last run? Sunrise? Sunset? Some other time? What is the status (TRUE or FALSE)? Toggle the ZW lock. Does the ISY see the command (view device status or watch event viewer)? Is the program responding? If not, you must determine why. Is it possible that your lock does not transmit status changes? If you confirm that the program IS triggering, but the expected response is not there, manually run the program2 (if path). Does this respond as expected? Is it possible that there is a program problem here? Communication problems? Isolating the cause of the problem is the first step towards solving the problem.

Your use of the "control" statement makes your program just fine and I missed that. As others have suggested the clock function seems to be a problem. Check your sunset and sunrise times as well as your Lat/Long settings. Link to comment
stusviews Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I have several From... To... programs followed by And Control 'device' is switched On and they run anytime the device is switched on during the stated time interval, so that's not the problem. The problem is the unexpected on's. tibbar, next time the lights turn on during daylight, select Programs, Summary. Sort by Last Run Time to make it easier to find any and all programs that ran at that time. Link to comment
larryllix Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Carefully examine the AM,PM on your clock as well as the +/- on your longitude setting. Link to comment
