I have a state variable called sOnVacation that is normally set to zero. I have about a dozen programs that check this variable. I set the variable to 1 when I go on vacation, so my EISY doesn't turn on lamps or fans or other devices while I am gone. I set up all these programs a long time ago but didn't try to set the variable to 1 for the fist time until just before a recent trip.

When I updated it to 1, the Admin Console kept displaying the small dialog box saying "System Busy - Please do not power off/unplug the system or make adjustments to liked/attached devices". It displays what looks like an address (56 83 05 1) below that. This dialog box pops up about every 5-10 seconds and then goes away. This happened over and over for close to 10 minutes. I thought maybe IoX was updating the status of all the programs, yet this continued on and on. Finally I changed the variable back to 0 and the messages stopped immediately.

Any idea what is going on?

Here's a sample of one of my programs:

CELFAN 7D 21:00-09:00 MBDRM Fan ON - [ID 001C][Parent 002C]

If

From 9:00:00PM

For 12 hours

And $sSummerTime is 1

And $sBedroomIsWarm is 1

And $sOnVacation is 0

Then

Set 'Master Bedroom / MBR Fan Sw' On

Else

Set 'Master Bedroom / MBR Fan Sw' Off

That looks like an Insteon device node name. I'd find out what 56 83 05 is, and try controlling it directly from admin console, to see if it works ok.

IoX doesn't update the status of programs. It looks for control or status change events and evaluates any programs where the triggering event is used. I'd check that device node first, and then look at any programs where it's controlled with Then statements.
