RichTJ99 Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Hi, I am using an appliance link with a shade opener. I made this program: Shades2 - [ID 00C9][Parent 0001] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Main House / Master Bedroom / Main: MBR Shades' Fast On Wait 1 minute Set 'Main House / Master Bedroom / Main: MBR Shades' Fast Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') How do I make this a toggle? I want it that if you turn this program on or off, it turns itself on, waits 1 min, then shuts off. Thanks, Rich

stusviews Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Insteon_Controller is any controller such as a KPL button or SwitchLinc or Remote button. Insteon_Device is any On/Off device. Do not use a dimmer. If Control 'Insteon Controller' is switched On And Control 'Insteon Controller' is not switched Off Then Set 'Insteon_Device' On Wait 1 minute Set 'Insteon_Device' Off Else Set 'Insteon_Device' On Wait 1 minute Set 'Insteon_Device' Off If you use voice, then On will run Then and Off will run Else. I prefer that On closes the window covering and Off opens it. If you use routines, then you can use Open and Close instead of Off and On.
asbril Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) I use Google Home with my Automatic Curtains ( http://automaticcurtain.com/products/power-adapter/ ) . Google Home allows you to create shortcuts ( https://support.google.com/googlehome/answer/7382893?hl=en). That allows me to tell Google Home to Open or Close the curtains.

stusviews Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 I use Amazon's Echo. The Alexa smartphone app allow you to create routines to be able to tell the Alexa device to Open or Close the curtains. 1

My wife is already complaining that it looks like something the father from gremlins would have made. Can I skip the 'control' if portion? 2 hours ago, stusviews said: Insteon_Controller is any controller such as a KPL button or SwitchLinc or Remote button. Insteon_Device is any On/Off device.
