backinthelab Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Need a little help on this one. I used to have the Elk turn on a couple lights when coming home at night. The rule in the M1 was (shorthand): Whenever Garage Entry becomes not secure And area armed And exit delay, and area is not active And it is dark outside Then turn kitchen (main) ON Then then upstairs hall ON for 2 mins I'm trying to accomplish this through the ISY now, but this is turning the lights on when I exit, as well: If From Sunset - 30 minutes To Sunrise + 30 minutes (next day) And Elk Area 'Area 1' 'Armed State' is not Disarmed And ( Elk Zone 'Garage Entry' 'Physical Status' is Open Or Elk Zone 'Back Door' 'Physical Status' is Open Or Elk Zone 'Front Door' 'Physical Status' is Open ) Then Set 'Kitchen (Main)' On Set 'Upstairs Hall - Primary' On Wait 5 minutes Set 'Upstairs Hall - Primary' Off Set 'Kitchen (Main)' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I think my problem is in the difference between "Armed State" and "Arm Up State". Can anyone provide insight on how best to accomplish this?
asdfg11 Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 I'm having a similar problem. It seems my ISY99 isn't seeing the armed states. All other programs work based on zone/contacts -- maybe that is the same problem? Has anyone got their ISY99 working with the ELK for programs like below? If Time is 6:08:20PM And Elk Area 'Home' 'Arm Up State' is Armed Fully Then Set 'Foyer Pots' On Wait 2 Minutes Set 'Foyer Pots' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
Slalom Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 Try something like this. Note the 2 second delay in the 'Then' clause this prevents the blip when you are on your way out. The 'Armed Fully' prevents this program from becoming active during the exit delay. If From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) And Elk Area 'Main House' 'Arm Up State' is Armed Fully And ( Elk Area 'Main House' 'Armed State' is Armed Away Or Elk Area 'Main House' 'Armed State' is Armed Vacation ) And ( Elk Zone 'Cindy's Garage' is Violated Or Elk Zone 'Jeff's Garage' is Violated ) Then Wait 2 seconds Set Scene 'Scenes / Arriving Home' On $sArriving = 1 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
apostolakisl Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 If you get confused as to what is what, go to the "Elk" tab, subtab "areas". At the top of that section it lists your areas (for most people it is just 1 area). The current status of all the different conditions are listed there. When you do various things to the system you will immediately see the result in the various categories. You can then set your programs using that info so that it does what you want when you want.
