My wife leaves for the gym before sunrise, so I created this program to turn on the exterior lights when she opens the garage.

 

I have noticed that between sunset and 12:01 the lights flash off. Seems that the ISY is picking up the change in the Garage Door and running the program.

 

How do I get it to not pick up the change between sunset and 12:01am?

If

From 12:01:00AM

To Sunrise (same day)

And Status 'Outside - Front Porch Lights' is Off

And Status 'Garage Door On is Closed' is On

 

Then

Set 'Outside - Front Porch Lights' On

 

Else

Wait 5 minutes

Set 'Outside - Front Porch Lights' Off

Hi AnthemAVM,

 

The Else path is the culprit here (if any of the conditions is false then the Else path is run).

 

You may want to remove the Else statements.

 

with kind regards,

Michel

You need to get the status of the front porch light into another program. Any time you turn on your front porch light between sunset and 12.01a this program will again become false and run the else path.

While these programs are built around motion detection, they will also work perfectly for this application.

I have a program that keeps the lights on from sunset to 10pm if someone tries to turn them off.

 

Thanks
