so.. I can't figure out why this program is not working.. turned the fan on manually.  temperature is 71 degrees..  fan not shutting off...

 

Living Room Fan Off 
---------------------------------
If
        Status  'Thermostat - Main' <= 74° (Temperature)
    And Status  'Indoors / Living Room Fan Motor' is not Off
 
Then
        Set 'Indoors / Living Room Fan Motor' Off
        Wait  15 minutes 
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
 
------------
I've also tried it like this:
 
If
        Status  'Thermostat - Main' <= 74° (Temperature)
 
Then
        Set 'Indoors / Living Room Fan Motor' Off
        Wait  15 minutes 
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I don't know if you wouldn't be better placing the temp in a variable then using the variable in the program.

The fan has two modes, Auto and Fan. In Fan mode, the fan runs continually. That's the only mode that you can turn on or off. If the thermostat is calling for heat, not just in heat mode, then you cannot turn off the fan.

The program won't run unless the status changes. If the thermostat already was at or below 74º, then there was is no change when you manually turned on the fan. 

 

BTW, there's no need for the wait statement unless you mean for the wait to occur before turning the fan off in which case the wait statement should be placed before the off statement (Move line up).

There is nothing to trigger your program except the temperature changing.

 

Something has to call the attention of the ISY engine and that would be a temperature change. Then your logic will be evaluated and run the appropriate Then or Else.

 

IOW: If the temperature never changes after you save your program, or ISY boots up, your program will never run.

You can troubleshoot this program by right clicking and selecting "Run Then" to see if your control actually works.  If it does then issue is with the conditions.

It also helps to set program status icons to detailed (right click program, Status Icons > Detailed)  Red bar indicates program conditions false, green bar program conditions true, solid green running then, solid red running else.
