I have a question about how Program Folder conditions should work.

 

Current values:

·       Integer variable “Guests” value is 1

·       For Program Folder “GUEST” the IF condition is “$Guests is 1”

·       Within the Folder “GUEST” is a program “Guest_Run” where the THEN statement is ‘Set FamRm Lights’ On

 

Situation:

When I run a program that has no IF conditions where the THEN statement is “Run Program ‘Guest_Run’ (Then) – sometimes the program within the GUEST folder will run, sometimes it will not run. The Folder Condition for the GUEST folder is not consistently/accurately allowing or disallowing the program within the folder to run.

 

Should Folder Conditions work correctly to allow/disallow when a THEN statement in a program within the Folder with the condition is called from another program?

 

Any advice is appreciated and Happy New Year.

@SESamuels,

If you need the folder condition to be updated based on the variable, you need to use a state variable. And, you need to make sure you have another program (or manually) changing the variable otherwise, once disabled, the programs will no longer run (the folder is false now).

With kind regards,
Michel

Thank you Michael.
