Executing a disabled IF

[Xathros]

Lets say I have a program that monitors the status of a lamp module, AND has a From-To timeframe but I only want it to run and evaluate the IF when called by another program and not any old time that the IF conditions are true.

 

Can I simply disable the program and run(if) from another program to exec when needed or do I need to enable it and bury it in a folder with a permanently false condition on the folder ?

 

Does calling a disabled program ie: Run(if) override the disabled flag ?

 

I hope that made sense.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Xathros,

 

Your question makes perfect sense, and you are correct; you simply disable the program you and use Run (If). We've been considering renaming "Is enabled" to "Automatically triggered" to more accurately describe what that flag does.

Excellent. This is what I was hoping for. I assume the folder method would also work but for this task I like the disabled program idea better.

 

Thanks.
