Johns9149 Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 I use the I/O Link - garage door to control the opening and closing of the garage door. I have been able to set up a notification of a sms message to my cell phone when the garage door opens, But I can not seem to set up a program that notifies me when the garage door closes. Anyone with any thoughts?
paulbates Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Here is my program for this functionality if that helps Garage Pushover Status - [ID 004D][Parent 004C] If Status 'Garage / Door Sensor' is On Then Resource 'Pushover Garage Door Opened' Else Resource 'Pushover Garage Door Closed' You can replace the 'Resource' statements with your sms notification statements. If this doesn't help, post your programs Paul
Johns9149 Posted May 14, 2016 Author Posted May 14, 2016 Paul thanks for the reply. I will give it a try. But just in case, I will post a copy of the program i have. However, I can't remember how to copy and post. I searched the forums but can't find the steps. How did you do it?
paulbates Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 When you are in the admin console, 'right click' on the program name on the left side.. then pick the last item on the drop down list, 'copy to clipboard' Paul
Johns9149 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Posted May 15, 2016 Paul, thanks for the refresher --- heres the program I use to notify me when the gargage door goes up If Status 'Garage / I/O Linc - Garage-Sensor' is On And From 9:00:00AM To 5:30:00PM (same day)Then Send Notification to 'James iPhone' content 'Garage Door OPENED'Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
Johns9149 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Posted May 15, 2016 I added an ELSE (and changed the From / To times) so that my program now looks like: If Status 'Garage / I/O Linc - Garage-Sensor' is On And From 9:00:00AM To 9:30:00PM (same day)Then Send Notification to 'James iPhone' content 'Garage Door OPENED'Else Send Notification to 'James iPhone' content 'Garage Door CLOSED' However, I still only get notified when the door goes up. Any thoughts on where I messed up?
paulbates Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 It may not be the program. Are you sure that the ISY sees the change in state? If you put the door down, does the IO linc show off? Paul
Johns9149 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Posted May 15, 2016 I believe so. With the door closed; the I/O Linc Relay and Sensor both show the current state as OFF in the ISY
paulbates Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Hmmm. Could you temporarily remove the time part of the 'If' and retry? And From 9:00:00AM To 9:30:00PM (same day) Paul
Johns9149 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Posted May 15, 2016 when I took the IF out, then I got no notifications at all.
paulbates Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 sorry, I meant make your program look like this If Status 'Garage / I/O Linc - Garage-Sensor' is On Then Send Notification to 'James iPhone' content 'Garage Door OPENED' Else Send Notification to 'James iPhone' content 'Garage Door CLOSED'
Johns9149 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Posted May 15, 2016 I changed to the below and still didn't get any notification either open or closed. Any other thoughts? BTW, thanks for all your help on this. I appreciate it. If Status 'Garage / I/O Linc - Garage-Sensor' is On Then Send Notification to 'James iPhone' content 'Garage Door OPENED' Else Send Notification to 'James iPhone' content 'Garage Door CLOSED'
Johns9149 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Posted May 15, 2016 would maybe a separate program for the closed notification be appropriate?
paulbates Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Np, we'll figure it out. For the moment, put the time parameters back in. And one program should work A few more questions since we've touched on the easier stuff. The first two are probably 'yes' but want to make sure You're hitting save on the left each time to save program changes? I forget sometimes The time on your ISY is correct to your timezone, within a few minutes? For the notifications: How did you configure mail eg... Default, or did you set up gmail? If you are sending to gmail (and some others) there needs to be a few words of text in the subject line and body of the messages ... Some email systems ignore messages without a subject line or body content Paul
stusviews Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 I believe so. With the door closed; the I/O Linc Relay and Sensor both show the current state as OFF in the ISY Open the garage. Does the sensor indicate as ON? The relay should show as OFF.
Johns9149 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Posted May 15, 2016 Paul - you hit the nail on the head -- so simple yet so difficult. I did not have anything in the body of the email for garage door closed. Once I added a simple line, everything works. Thanks for all your help.
