Creating a Z-Wave looping query program

Recommended Posts

I haven't used my ISY in awhile and now my mind is blank on how to do this.  I have a program that says under "Then" to query all z-Wave devices, then ends with "Repeat every 1 minute."  I used to have this working before I erased all my programs but confused now.  I have it set to run at start up but it doesn't seem like it actually is looping as it just shows last run time being when the ISY rebooted.  Do I need something in the IF?  I know I'm missing something obvious as this was easy in the past.  Thanks!!

I saw the original post here and it got me thinking.  Why would you want to query for status.  The devices should send the status back automatically on a transition and the ISY should have that data.  Am I missing something?

I don't know which ISY version you are using, but in version 4,a Repeat statement repeats only what follows the statement, not what precedes it.

There are a number of zwave switches that do not automatically send their status when locally activated, like Insteon switches always have been. However it is becoming more prevalent in newer products and expected by z-wave users.

Thanks Paul.  I learned something new.
