Program issue

[arctec37]

I have two trane z-wave thermostats that are connected to the isy944izw and working fine.

I wrote a program to check the temperature and send me an email if the temperature drops below 55 degrees.

When we are away for weeks at a time I keep the temperature at 60 degrees.

My problem is that I get emails at various times telling me that the temperature is below 55 degrees. When I check it the temp is holding stead at 60 degrees.

 

IF

   Status  'HVAC 1st Floor Thermostat' < 55 F

 

THEN

   Send Notification to 'Comcast1' context 'Heat Alarm - First Floor'

 

Comcast1 is the email I set up for the isy.

 

I must be doing something wrong to be getting false readings (alarms). Do I have to tell it when to check?

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Do you put the current temperature in the custom notification? If not, then they will give you more info. sorry I'm not around a computer or I'd give you the exact syntax, you can search the wiki to find references.

Sometimes devices can quickly report an intermediary value when switching from calling / not calling (fan, heat, cool, humidity). The way to test this out is to add a 30 second to 1 minute wait as the first statement of the "then". If it changes briefly this will ignore the fast changes.
