Trigger program with on/off control that originates from the ISY

[rleist]

Wasn't sure how to search forum to see if this has been asked before.

 

If a program has an if condition of a device's on or off control command, why does that program not trigger if the command originates from the ISY?

 

The mobile apps don't do a good job of exposing programs as a simple button or icon for the wife to use. Trying to use the on/off of an IOLink from the mobile apps to trigger programs.

 

Thanks,

Rob

Guess I need to use status instead of control conditions.

If you are using "Control," then the program won't trigger unless you manually issue the command. Each time you issue that specific command, the program will trigger "Status" will trigger the program no matter how the command is issued as long as the command changes to state of the trigger.

 

Edit: looks like you figured it out as I was writing
