I have a program that is not enabled (I manually set it as true or false) that is set up to disable any automated program in the ISY to facilitate interruption free device adding/scene adjusting. I just realized that we can set a folder condition on "My Programs"

 

If I have a program called "Suspend ISY" that is not enabled and I set a "My Programs" folder condition to: If Progam Suspend ISY is false then allow programs in this folder to run would this accomplish the same thing.

 

The one thing I am concerned about, and the reason I have not just tried this is that the very program "Suspend ISY" is a program under the folder "My Programs". Will I still be able to set it as true or false and have it evaluated properly, or could I potentially brick my ISY with this setup?

Can't ANY program be run manually, even if disabled (itself, or its containing folder)?

 

[i just tried an experiment with a test folder, and it does allow contained programs to be run manually even when the folder is disabled by virtue of condition of program status within that folder.]

I thought I had had a problem with this once before, but maybe I was trying to run the "if" of a program inside a folder not "then" or "else". I had been playing with this inside a test folder and it seems to work, I just got a little scared of messing with the "My Programs" folder because of the anomalies I remembered. Now that I have gone back and played more with the test folder it does seem that only running the "if" gets funky, not the "then" or "else". So here goes....

Yea. That works flawlessly. I will be using that feature whenever I work on the system from now on as I have lots of automated programs that could run and much with adjustments to the system.
