Hello,

 

I am continuing to convert my Heyu scripts over to my Isy so I can eventually do away with my CM11A. The one I am currently working on is my coffee marker script. The script is simple, I have a button on an insteon keypad in my upstairs washroom that turns on the coffee marker so I can turn it on when I get up. After 1 hour it automatically turns off, or can also turned off if the coffee button is turned off.

 

I created a program for this in my Isy:

 

If

Status 'Second Floor / Office / Office1.Coffee' is On

Then

Set 'Main Floor / Kitchen / Kitchen.CoffeeMaker' On

Wait 60 Minutes

Set 'Main Floor / Kitchen / Kitchen.CoffeeMaker' Off

Else

Set 'Main Floor / Kitchen / Kitchen.CoffeeMaker' Off

 

It works very well.

 

I tried to see if I could create a scene to control the program as I have multiple coffee buttons (bedroom, master bath, office) and my thought was to replace the specific button in the if/else/then with the scene status instead. This way the buttons would all turn on and off in regardless of which one I pressed and would reflect the status of the coffee maker itself and the program.

 

However it doesn't appear that I can use a scene in the If/Else/Then parts of an ISY program. If thats the case, can anyone suggest a better way to to accomplish this? Or is the only way to list all the buttons in the program itself?

 

Thank you,

Simon

Hello,

I ended up putting all the coffee buttons in the if statement and added an Or for each one. I kept the scene and put each of the buttons in as a controller. It seems to work correctly.

 

I am just wondering if this is the best way to accomplish this with the Isy and if this is the most efficient way?

 

Si.

That is probably the best way. Scenes are not avaailable as program conditioms.
