GDavis01 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I have several programs within the ISY that are triggered with If Control 'device' is switched Off Or Control 'device' is switched Fast Off Then ........ These programs work well when I physically turn off the switch with a single or double tap. However the programs do not run when I turn off the same device either: - using another program with the command "Set "device" Off"; or - using Mobilinc to turn off the device! Is there some other logic I should be using within the ISY to recognize that the device has been turned off by a 'Set device Off' command or Mobilinc so that my programs run? Link to comment
LeeG Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 If Control is triggered when the physical device is operated. That is the function of "If Control". Operating the device by other means does not cause "If Control" to trigger. Need to use If Status to monitor the device for activity from both physical operation and remote operation by Set 'xxxxx' Off Link to comment
GDavis01 Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Thanks for the quick reply... Does a If Status statement ( "Status 'device' is Off") only trigger when there is a change of status? If so, then great... but if not, then my programs would be constantly triggered when the lights are off which would not be a good thing... Link to comment
stusviews Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Status triggers when there's a change of state. Sending several Off signals will trigger only once. Control triggers each time the signal is sent. Link to comment
GDavis01 Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 Thanks... that is what I hoped the answer would be. This will work well with my programs Link to comment
