JimTurner Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Hi all, Tried to search for this, but got nowhere. In HouseLinc (yeah, shoot me!), it would know that a device button was set from off to on or vice versa. I have not seen where or if that can be accomplished in the ISY. What I want to do is trigger a timer in a program that turns off a given Insteon device at some interval (say 2 hours) after it is manually turned on at the device itself. That possible on this platform? Thanks! jimt Link to comment
simplextech Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I learned this a few months ago too... In the ISY a "Control" function is from a device being manually switched on/off/dim or motion or contact sensors being triggered. A "status" is only for programmatic use for if/when the status of a device changes and can be used with a "wait" as the status change can interrupt (stop) a program or reset it and be used like a timer. Hopefully I'm explaining that correctly. If not I'll get shot Link to comment
JimTurner Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Ok, thanks! I will check that out. Could have been named something clearer like "DeviceEvent" but I am late to the design / requirements party! Link to comment

The wiki does cover this type of info Link to comment
