Posted April 28, 20196 yr I tried to make a simple program: If control "light swich1" is switched on Than set "light switch2" to 20% Else no actions If I fisicaly go to the light swich and turn it on nothing happens to the other switch Do I do the settings wrong?
April 28, 20196 yr Depends on a number of things. What version of ISY are you on and what type of switch? Insteon or Z-wave?
April 28, 20196 yr If you manually flip switch1 on it should show in the admin console as On and execute the Then statement. Right click on the program, select Copy to Clipboard and post please
April 28, 20196 yr Author test - [ID 0003][Parent 0004][Run At Startup] If Control 'Light 1' is switched On Then Set 'Light 2' 20% Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
April 28, 20196 yr Interesting, I just tested that and it works as it should. Try changing the If statement to: Status 'Light 1' is not Off See if that works.
April 28, 20196 yr Author I tried that as well and no difference. I will do an update next I have a second system that is brand new and I have similar problem. It shows no memory and is not working either
April 28, 20196 yr I don't see anything wrong with your original program. "control" or "status" have different triggering events, so this could matter, depending on your desired outcome. I don't believe that this is a program problem, or a software problem, though I notice your UI version is different than your firmware version. This should be corrected immediately. Strange things happen when these don't match. Once you have firmware and UI on the same versions, let us know if you continue to have problems. There are some things to check to help troubleshoot.
April 28, 20196 yr Why are you doing this with a program? It's easier to create a scene, add switch A as a controller and switch B as a responder. Set switch B brightness to 20% in the scene.
April 28, 20196 yr Author Thanks for the help so far everyone I will try to update the isy this morning The reason I want to make a program is I like to touch one button and 3 switches need to turn of 4 stitches need to go to 20% (if they are on) and 1 switch needs to turn on to 100%. And once the scene is over I would like everything to go to its original position if it's possible.

And once the scene is over I would like everything to go to its original position if it's possible. Scenes can do all that, setting can vary for each device, but they will also control the off and dimming for the other switches also. Unless I need the response speed or the easy control of a huge quantity of devices, I avoid use of scenes.
April 28, 20196 yr Author How would I do that? I would not know how to do the "if"" lights are on" situation

I would not know how to do the "if"" lights are on" situation A scene will always take the lights to where it's supposed to go regardless of their current setting. For example. I don't want my chandeliers on with my recessed lights. Turning either on will always turn the other off regardless of how bright or dim they are. For the 1 in a million chance I want all on a double tap on either will bring both on.

April 28, 20196 yr Create a scene, add switch 2 to the scene at 20% and then turn the scene on. See if that works
April 28, 20196 yr I'd just leave it like that then. Add the other devices you want to control to that scene and simply have the program turn that scene on.

Someone mentioned to do that in a scene but I don't think it's possible That is possible. Simply add them all to a scene with what you want them to do. For example my family room has multiple scenes that girl each light in there. I have chandeliers, lamps, recessed lights, lights behind the TV, and soffet lights. My relax scene will turn certain lights at a dim level and others off, the movie scene will turn certain lights off at a specific ramp rate while turning on my lights behind the TV. Hitting my goodnight button immediately turns off certain.lights while turning others on so you can see (a program shuts it down after a few minutes). This happens with all lights regardless of status.
