gzahar Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Couldn't you just enable "run at startup" for the program in the program summary tab to get the desired effect of the the repeat? That’s what I was referring to, to get the initial trigger. The If statement would still need to evaluate true (or false for an else clause) to get to the next step. Don’t think you can just leave if blank. Also, I still think you want something more than run at startup to keep program re-triggering in case it ever stopped unexpectedly.

berarduc Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Ok I think I've got it. The trick was understanding exactly how the "repeat" verb worked in the ISY system programming - thanks for that Simply put, just put the query statement AFTER the repeat in the THEN loop, and if the program is triggered at least once, it will hang out in the then loop forever (unless somehow terminated unexpectedly). So to be more robust, I not only set it to "run at startup" but also scheduled a run once a day to restart the program if it somehow got terminated. Pseudo code: <run at startup> IF "daily start time" THEN REPEAT every 1 min set "device" to query --> that's it. working now. Thanks all! tom

(I have been doing this, but forgot until I just ran across those programs)

Running a blank "If" section assumes True and Then will run.

You cannot ask Alexa to enable a program via ISY Portal so I doubt you can use GH to enable a program either. However you can run a program that could do it, from either. "Alexa! Turn On/Off Xprogram enable" Program: Xprogram enable If --- Then enable programYY Else disable programYY
