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

If (disabled)

.....status is on

Then

....turn it off

Else

 ....turn it on

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.

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.

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.

I am a little confused - I am only using Alexa as the 'control' - no other way to initiate the shades.  My wife is already complaining that it looks like something the father from gremlins would have made.  

 

Can I skip the 'control' if portion?
