andrew77 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I have a simple program that basically says if the bathroom fan has been on for 25 minutes it’ll shut off. This has worked forever until I’ve switched to Eisy. I tried editing the program to ‘renew’ it but no luck. I’m thinking on just deleting the program and redoing it but I thought I’d ask here if there’s some other way I should do it. Link to comment

Then post the program here for comments. 1 Link to comment
andrew77 Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Bathroom Fan - [ID 0022][Parent 0001] If 'Bathroom Fan' Status is On Then Wait 1 minute Set 'Bathroom Fan' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I changed it to one minute solely for testing purposes yesterday Link to comment
Geddy Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 @andrew77 I don't see anything in the program you posted that would cause this not to run. I was going to say if you had the wait at 25 minutes maybe something was turning the fan off (or turning it on again) while the wait was in progress that cause the "IF" to re-evaluate and restart the wait or make the program "False" and not turn it off. Try watching the program tree if the status of the fan is "ON". Does the program turn solid green? This would indicate the program is running. If the status of the fan goes to off then the program icon would be partially red , indicating "FALSE" state last time it was evaluated. I just tested your program and my fan turned off as expected and the program appeared with the red icon because now the "If" is "false". Try "find/replace" (right click on any program and it's near the bottom menu option) in programs for the "Bathroom Fan" and see if you have other programs controlling it. There might be something else causing the program to turn "False" before your wait is complete. I tested while remote to the location and used UD mobile to turn the fan on and status on admin console showed "on" so program was true and turned the fan off (I lowered my "wait" to 10 seconds for quick trigger). Remember if anything causes the "IF" to re-evaluate during the wait the program essentially restarts. It's possible your 25 minutes is restarting and still going longer than you expect it to. Perhaps use "Switched" for the fan device to trigger the program. That way it's a physical process of turning the fan on that triggers the wait. 2 Link to comment
andrew77 Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 I changed it to switched as opposed to on. I also tried watching the GUI and it did show it was running once but I cant seem to make that happen again. Should I try to restore the device? Link to comment
paulbates Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) I use switched for the exact same application. The reality is that that method shouldn't matter. A restore device is easy to do to eliminate it as a culprit, and won't hurt Turn on the event view level 3 and repeat, what do you see Edited March 19 by paulbates Link to comment

andrew77 Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Restore Device seems to have worked. I should have know to do that first. Thank you everyone that helped here Link to comment
paulbates Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 In my experience, sometimes older Insteon devices "lose it" after: long periods of use, brown outs, or being farthest away on the power line .... or combos of those. Glad it's working Link to comment
