justin.cool Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 I have one EZ Flora in a medium sized Insteon configuration. About 100 Insteon devices, plus an ISY-99, 4 Access Points, a fair number of dual band switches /relays, etc etc. The following program would not get past Zone 1 watering: IF: CONTROL Control Linc – 4 is switched ON THEN: Set Scene Zone 1 ON Wait 15 minutes Set Scene Zone 1 OFF Set Scene Zone 2 ON Wait 15 minutes Set Scene Zone 2 OFF Set Scene Zone 3 ON Wait 15 minutes Set Scene Zone 3 OFF Removed 2 of the OFF commands and all zones watered for 15 minutes as expected, and Zone 3 is turned off after 15 minutes. IF: CONTROL Control Linc – 4 is switched ON THEN: Set Scene Zone 1 ON Wait 15 minutes Set Scene Zone 2 ON Wait 15 minutes Set Scene Zone 3 ON Wait 15 minutes Set Scene Zone 3 OFF I realized the OFF command was redundant for the Zones 1 & 2, but I didn’t think it would hurt anything. Apparently that is not the case. Can anyone explain what I have missed???
LeeG Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 I ran this test successfully on 3.2.5. What actually happened when the Program ran? What ISY firmware? Perhaps posting the actual Program and an Event Trace. If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set Scene 'SceneEZFloraZone1' On Wait 5 minutes Set Scene 'SceneEZFloraZone1' Off Set Scene 'SceneEZFloraZone2' On Wait 5 minutes Set Scene 'SceneEZFloraZone2' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Sun 04/29/2012 04:25:36 PM : [ Time] 16:25:38 0(0) Sun 04/29/2012 04:25:36 PM : [iNST-TX-I1 ] 02 62 00 00 16 CF 11 00 --- Zone 1 On Sun 04/29/2012 04:25:36 PM : [iNST-ACK ] 02 62 00.00.16 CF 11 00 06 LTONRR (00) Sun 04/29/2012 04:25:36 PM : [ 5 92 9E 1] ST 255 Sun 04/29/2012 04:30:36 PM : [iNST-TX-I1 ] 02 62 00 00 16 CF 13 00 --- Zone 1 Off Sun 04/29/2012 04:30:36 PM : [iNST-TX-I1 ] 02 62 00 00 17 CF 11 00 --- Zone 2 On Sun 04/29/2012 04:30:36 PM : [iNST-ACK ] 02 62 00.00.16 CF 13 00 06 LTOFFRR(00) Sun 04/29/2012 04:30:36 PM : [ 5 92 9E 1] ST 0 Sun 04/29/2012 04:30:37 PM : [iNST-ACK ] 02 62 00.00.17 CF 11 00 06 LTONRR (00) Sun 04/29/2012 04:30:37 PM : [ 5 92 9E 2] ST 255 Sun 04/29/2012 04:35:36 PM : [iNST-TX-I1 ] 02 62 00 00 17 CF 13 00 --- Zone 2 Off Sun 04/29/2012 04:35:36 PM : [iNST-ACK ] 02 62 00.00.17 CF 13 00 06 LTOFFRR(00) Sun 04/29/2012 04:35:36 PM : [ 5 92 9E 2] ST 0
justin.cool Posted April 30, 2012 Author Posted April 30, 2012 LeeG, I will paste in the actual program this evening, along with an event viewer, and the ISY-99 firmware.
LeeG Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Thanks. It would be helpful to know what the Program | Summary is showing for the Program after the 15 minute Wait has elapsed.
justin.cool Posted May 1, 2012 Author Posted May 1, 2012 My config is at the bottom of this note. The EZ Flora address is: 19 BC C2 The program that is NOT working is attached, see file name: Watering Timer Progm Rev1 NOT working means only the first zone (Z22) comes on, then shuts off after 1 minute, and the next two zones do NOT come on.

LeeG Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Confirmed. The EZFlora is not processing the Scene On when it immediately follows a Scene Off. Adding a 1 second wait between the Scene Off and the next Scene On resolves the problem. Looks like the EZFlora is still processing the Scene Off when the next Scene On is received and ignored. Update: direct Zone control works when a Zone Off precedes the next Zone On. With Direct Zone control each command is ACKed which may explain the difference between Direct Zone control and Scene Zone control result.
justin.cool Posted May 1, 2012 Author Posted May 1, 2012 LeeG, Thanks very much. I will insert the delay and confirm.
