For Drape control I want to send an ON command at a certain time, and then an OFF command a short time later. (to Insteon appliance modules) Can this be done with one command/program, or do I need 2 separate timers? What would the code look like?

Hello Charlie,

 

Sure, you can use a Wait command:

 

If
       Time is  3:15:00PM

Then
       Set Scene 'Hallway' On
       Wait  3 minutes and 30 seconds
       Set Scene 'Hallway' Off

Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

...or, something like this:

 

If
       From    Sunset  + 20 minutes
       To       9:30:00PM (same day)

Then
       Set Scene 'FrontDoor' On

Else
       Set Scene 'FrontDoor' Off

 

This might be easier if you're using sunset or sunrise as a start/end point, and a fixed time as the other point.

That should do it! Thanks to both of you.

Is there a list of commands and terms the unit understands? I saw a couple examples in the user quide, but no command list.

If it doesn't look like Fortran I'm lost!

There are not a lot of commands and they are pretty much explained in chapter 8 of the User Guide.

 

It is, of course, not as simple as FORTRAN

 

Schedules and Conditions determine when a program runs.

Actions can occur in Then and Else.

Comments are appended to the programs.

 

Commands are presented in a drop-down menu, parameters are selected from drop downs and scroll boxes.

 

I agree there should be a list. I'll give it a shot.

Rand,

If your going to make the command list for the ISY, and want it spread-sheeted in the Wiki. I can do this for you if you dump it out of Excel in a CSV file. I have a easy way to turn it into a table for the Wiki. I did it for Michel for the Error Code List real quickly.
