Turning on/off Notifications

I have an X10 motion sensor at the front door. When motion is detected, it turns on a light in the house as well as sending a text and email. It works great however there are times when I don't want the notifications to happen, such as when alot of people are coming and going. Does anyone know a way that I could program a KPL button to deactivate/activate the notifications and the light?

I know I could disable the notifications through MobiLinc but that doesn't take care of the light. I would prefer to press a button to deactivate/active the event.

Currently I have it set up so when motion is detected an X10 signal A9 ON is sent. Within the isy-99 I have a program that says:

If A9 ON is received

Then send notifications.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

One easy way would be to have a program trigger on KPL button on/off control events and enable/disable your other program. Something like this:

 

If
     Control 'KPL-A' is On
 And Control 'KPL-A' is not Off
Then
 Enable Program 'whatever'
Else
 Disable Program 'whatever'

 

Another way would be to add a check for status of the KPL button in your existing program, which would require no additional triggers on the KPL:

 

If    A9 ON is received 
 And Status 'KPL-A' is On
Then ...

 

(edit to add second suggestion)
