hbskisurf Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) I'm trying to setup a few programs to run random lights if my Elk alarm is armed away. I set the folder condition to run from sunset to sunrise if the alarm is armed away but the programs in the folder aren't executing. The folder condition shows as true but the programs don't automatically run. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

lilyoyo1 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 One thing I would start with us adding all of those devices to a single scene and controlling the scene itself. It's a more efficient user of resources and you don't have to worry about commands being missed. I would also change the 0 seconds to 2 seconds to ensure good communication
oberkc Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 One thing that looks a little inconsistent is that the folder conditions (sunset to sunrise) and program conditions (sunset-1 to sunrise+1) would result in the program folder being false when the program would normally trigger. Why not get rid of the folder condition relative to sunrise/sunset? What does that condition do for you?
hbskisurf Posted February 23, 2020 Author Posted February 23, 2020 I will make "Elk Armed State = Armed Away" the sole condition for the folder and then leave either sunset-1 to sunrise+1 or burglar alarm as the sole conditions for the programs. I will also try consolidating devices to 3 scenes (outside, downstairs, and upstairs lights) to avoid communication errors. Will revert back tonight to see if this works. Thank you!

Why separate scenes when they do the same exact thing based on the same conditions?
hbskisurf Posted February 23, 2020 Author Posted February 23, 2020 That's a good question. I separated them for a burglar alarm under Alarm Stay but for the Alarm Away I will consolidate them all into a "Security Lights Scene"
hbskisurf Posted February 24, 2020 Author Posted February 24, 2020 So I got the random lights to turn on with the program above by removing the time based criteria on the folder. Thank you! Unfortunately, the light blinking doesn’t work for a burglar alarm event. .I’m not sure if I have too many devices that I’m trying to strobe or not...lights blink once or twice and then stop while the system is busy. I can get outside lights (3 lights on 3 second intervals only...nothing faster). I will play with a smaller subset of lights to see if that works better (I.e., lights visible from the street). Thanks!

Thank you! Keep in mind that if you disable the folder (disarm elk) during the night, the ELSE will not trigger at sunrise+1. This may not be a problem for you, but 8 wanted to point that out. 2

If you disable a folder, any program running may stop in the middle. Sent using Tapatalk Edited February 26, 2020 by larryllix 2

Likewise, enabling a folder doesn't cause any of its programs to begin execution. Only the program's actual conditions cause them to execute. Using your programs above as an example, lets say you leave the house at sunset and arm the alarm on the way out. All of the folder programs are now enabled, but they won't start just because the folder was enabled. The "Downstairs Hallway Lights" program won't start running when you leave because its start condition, "Sunset - 1 hour", will have already passed by the time you arm the alarm at sunset. Just something you need to be aware of when creating conditions for the programs within a folder. Edited February 26, 2020 by kclenden 2

hbskisurf Posted February 27, 2020 Author Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the replies everyone. I have now eliminated the folder conditions and left it as just the program which seems to work well. For example for my downstairs random lights: =================================================================================== Armed Away Security Lights - [ID 0215][Parent 0001] Folder Conditions for 'Armed Away Security Lights' If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Downstairs Hallway Lights - [ID 021C][Parent 0215] If Elk Area 'Home' 'Armed State' is Armed Away And From Sunset - 1 hour To Sunrise + 1 hour (next day) Then Repeat Every 0 seconds Set 'Downstairs Hallway' Off Wait 39 minutes Wait 21 minutes (Random) Set 'Downstairs Hallway' On Wait 4 minutes and 19 seconds Wait 42 minutes (Random) Else Set 'Downstairs Hallway' Off I still am unable to get lights to blink well. For example, I created a scene burglar alarm which has all the lights in the house. However, since this scene has 77 devices it does not work well at all. I created another "Downstairs Lights" scene with 35 devices but this also doesn't work well (needs over 20 second interval). I can get the Outside Lights scene to work with 14 devices but not on an interval less than 3 seconds. The best I can do is use the front lights on my house (11 devices) on 2 second intervals. When I add more devices for other lights it delays the blink and seems to overload the system after a few seconds. Has anyone been able to successfully been able to get a larger number of devices to blink faster or is this just a communication limitation with a large number of devices?

larryllix Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 I have. I use one scene containing all my lights and a doorbell and blink them.IIRC I use scene fast on scene fast off, wait 2-3 seconds.Slow on and off aren't going to work for this.Sent using Tapatalk

When I add more devices for other lights it delays the blink and seems to overload the system after a few seconds. That's interesting. My understanding is that the ISY sends only one command (and does not expect acknowledgments) no matter how many devices are included in a scene so adding or subtracting devices from the scene should, in theory, have no impact on how long it takes for the scene to execute. The only thing that should be controlling how long the scene takes to execute is the ramp rate, and as larryllix suggested, using FASTON and FASTOFF will take care of that. I'd be interested in seeing the output from the Event Viewer set to Level 3 when you execute your blink test. Is it possible that you have other programs that are set to monitor the STATUS of some of the devices that are being controlled by your blink scene? If so, then the change of status caused by the SCENE command could be kicking off a bunch of other programs. Edited February 27, 2020 by kclenden Add question about other programs
hbskisurf Posted February 27, 2020 Author Posted February 27, 2020 I changed my program to fast on/off for the scene with a 2 second delay and didn't see much of a change . From the Event Viewer I see that the program sends one command and then there are a bunch of acknowledgements....which I think is what is causing the problem when I add more devices. Once I get over 11 devices, the lights will blink for no more than 20-30 seconds before the ISY gets overwhelmed and the lights start blinking sporadically (or not at all).

larryllix Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Your problem appears related to some internal ISY problem. I would open a support ticket with UDI. Michel will get you sorted out. Your SD card may be worn out or just glitched.Thu 02/27/2020 07:21:17 AM : [FileOpen ] Open failed for [/LOG/A.LOG] (a) Edited February 27, 2020 by larryllix 1
hbskisurf Posted February 27, 2020 Author Posted February 27, 2020 Thanks. I didn't notice that. Will reach out to Michel.
kclenden Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 8 hours ago, hbskisurf said: then there are a bunch of acknowledgements Those are not acknowledgments from the devices, they are just the ISY noting that the state of the devices has changed as the result of the scene command it has just sent. It all happens internally to the ISY and shouldn't take much time. I hadn't considered that the ISY logs all state changes, and thus has to write each state change to the SD card which takes some amount of time (but certainly not 20-30 seconds), especially if you're having a problem with the SD card as pointed out by larryllix. All of the bolded lines represent communication into or out of the ISY. The lines that end in 14 00 or 12 00 are commands from the ISY to the PLM. the lines that end in 14 00 06 or 12 00 06 are acknowledgments from the PLM to the ISY that it transmitted the requested command. If you try your blink test with a larger number of devices, you should still only see two communication lines before each group of state changes.
hbskisurf Posted February 28, 2020 Author Posted February 28, 2020 Thanks for the followup. I think my SD card may be slightly corrupt. However, starting over with a new SD card will put my polyglot cloud Nest server at risk. I will have to live with the limited devices until hopefully Google and ISY start working together nicely again.

Basically you power down, install new card, puTTY into your ISY, issue a format command, log in to admin console, load v5.0.16c, restore your backup file, set your time zone and your back. I use a polisy and it reconnected automagically.
