Program turning on some lights but not all

[Deca]

Hi there, hoping to find some insight here... I have a program that turns on my LV landscape lights 30 minutes after sunset.  Program is simple... 

If from sunset + 30 minutes to 11:30pm (same day) Then set 'driveway landscape lights' On Set 'front landscape lights' On Else Set 'driveway landscape lights' Off set 'front landscape lights' Off

When this program runs, the front landscape lights come on but not the driveway ones.  I use a program like this for lots of other things in my home... ie: Christmas Tree, Family room lamps

Is there any reason why this one device doesn't come on?  It used to be just stopped working... I can still manually turn it on from the ISY Java Console or via MobiLinc HD on my phone... Once it's manually on, it will shut off later but this one device doesn't get turned on by the program.  

Please comment if you have any suggestions ... Thank you!!

I had much the same problem with my LV landscape lights.  There are four seperate circuits being controlled.  It seemed the first one in the program always worked, while the succeeding ones "usually" worked.  I solved my problem by putting a WAIT command between each circuit.

Set landscape one on

Wait 5 seconds

Set landscape two on

etc.

Hope this helps.

I have 4 outletlincs outside for lv and Christmas lights. I put them all in a scene along with premise lights on the house, and turn the scene on and off

I have found a best practice is to use wait command 1 second between actions in a program. Usually when things were working then don’t it’s generally because something different is plugged in somewhere impeding signal. I use repeaters plugged in at specific places in home to for reliability. Reliability is 99% + even with my wife plugging in tons of Christmas decorations inside and outside the home.

If you’re doing multiple Insteon devices in an ISY program in a row, 1 a 1 to 2 second wait between each is needed to allow time for the acknowledgment from each device to return to the ISY. Otherwise the next ISY program statement will collide with the acknowledgement
