JTsao Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 (edited) I have a folder condition that compares two non-state variables: Folder Conditions for 'Hot Weather' If $outsideHighTemp > $fanOnTemp Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. EDIT: forgot to mention, these are not state variables. The folder is red, indicating that the condition is not being met, but $outsideHighTemp = 93 and $fanOnTemp = 78. I have some programs which also use the same if statement and they are green. Is there some kind of problem here? Edited June 16 by JTsao update Link to comment
TJF1960 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Integer variables will not, by themselves, initiate a change in condition. You need to add something to the If section that will trigger a program evaluation. Like: If $outsideHighTemp > $fanOnTemp and it is 10:00 AM Then Allow the programs in this folder to run.

Try removing the folder condition and place the constraint within the program. If you have many programs that need the constraint and you don't want to insert this condition in all of them, you can use a program to enable and disable the other programs based on the required constraint.

JTsao Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 Thanks for the replies - I ended up changing the $outsideHighTemp to a state variable and it now works Link to comment
