Wait command not working in a program

[bcdavis75]

Hi all.  Hoping to get some help on a program issue. The purpose of the program is to use the network resource module to announce a warning through my sonos system when motion is detected in my basement. However, despite the fact that I have a wait command after triggering the network resource, each time motion is detected, the announcement gets interrupted and starts over again. Screen shot of the program is attached. Thanks in advance for your help.

Use two programs

 

Program1

If

... triggering units send

Then

...call Program2 (if)

Else --

 

Program2

If --

Then

...Disable Program1

...Do something

...Wait a few seconds

...Enable Program1

Else --

 

 

BTW; Your Wait waits for nothing that follows.

 

and Right click on your program in the program tree and select "copy to clipboard"

That's the expected behaviour. ISY is an event driven system. Any change in the triggering conditions causes the program to abort running an reevaluate (starting again in your case).

 

You need two programs, as described above.
