Hi All,

I did a big upgrade on my EISY to latest everything about two weeks ago. I had to do a flash upgrade and forgot to backup PG3 separately. No big deal, just reinstalled and configured the nodes. Everything seems to be working OK except on one specific set of programs. These programs use the TimeData Minute to trigger them because they run several times an hour at a specific minute of the hour.

These programs no longer run the "THEN" statement but only runs the ELSE statement. I created a fresh, new program, kept it simple, and it doesn't trigger THEN either. Is anyone else experiencing anything similar or any suggestions?

IoX: 6.0.5

PG3: 3.4.18

TimeData: 3.4.0

I have gone through multiple hardware reboots of the EISY. All the plugins were reinstalled in the same slot. There are no reported errors in the TimeData logs.

Test program: (if I run "Then" directly, I get the notice, so that is working)

It seems to work OK for me with \your program.

If not, there is an alternate way of doing this using a couple of programs, without requiring a plugin.

Thanks for the verification. I guess this means it is probably a simple answer. Maybe remove and reinstall Timedata. BTW, are you upgraded to the same versions as I am?

Also an unusual issue with it is I have a program using the Month name and it seems to be working fine.

I reinstalled Timedata from the Purchase store and nothing changed.

I decided to test other data components of this plugin and got some interesting results:

The following data points work and trigger the THEN statement: Month, Days of Week, Week of Year, Odd/Even Day, Minutes YTD, Season and DST.

The following data points do not work and go to the ELSE path: Minute, Day, Year, Day of Year, Time Zone, Hours YTD, Days since Unix Epoch, Logging Level.

I noticed the test program icon color would immediately show me which data set worked and which didn't.

@glarsen ?

Perhaps post the programs you're testing with. I would expect 'else' to be triggered any time the IF statement is not true, which of course is any time the minute statement in the IF isn't true. It will trigger false on every poll, except for when the value in the statement is true.

I simplified it to this one program.

Is this what you are asking for?

@LFMc the best way to share a program in the forums is to right click on the program and select "Copy to Clipboard". Then paste as text in your topic. This will give an easy to read format and make it easy for anybody helping to edit the program without too much typing.

Looks like the post above you used "export". Be sure you select the last option of "COPY to clipboard". Screenshots aren't much help because people will have to retype a lot of stuff or try to describe what to do based on the picture. Also, the text becomes searchable on the forums if you should ever need to refresh your memory or have a similar issue you can find the "old" post based on the program information.

My bad, I did export to clipboard. Here is the copy version:

Test TimeData Min on EISY Month Copy - [ID 0117][Parent 00C8]

If

'B Nodeservers / TimeData' Year is 2026

Then

Send Notification to 'Leon'

Else

Set 'Active Devices / Study Track Lights' On

Wait 5 seconds

Set 'Active Devices / Study Track Lights' Off

If you reinstalled the plugin from scratch (vs an upgrade) then nodes can get created with different references. Have you tried editing each program line by clicking on it and then re-selecting the same options from the select list? Do that for each program line referencing a value from the plugin, save it, and test it again.
