I have a security program that works quite well based on a button being On on an INSTEON keypadlinc keypad. It goes into effect when it detects that that button is pressed/On. Problem is when I return and toggle that button off the program keeps running. Here is the program:

 

If

From Sunset + 16 minutes

To 11:11:00PM (same day)

And Status '0F.15.D6.G - Secure Lights' is On

 

Then

Repeat Every 55 minutes

Set 'Family Floods (0F.15.D6.1)' On

Wait 11 minutes

Set 'Family Floods (0F.15.D6.1)' Off

 

Else

Set 'Family Floods (0F.15.D6.1)' Off

 

 

Any idea why when the status of Status '0F.15.D6.G - Secure Lights' changes to Off that the program would still run?

 

Thanks!

Check the Current State column for that KeypadLinc button node. Likely it still shows On because of a comm problem between the KPL location and the ISY PLM. If the Status changes to Off the Program will be triggered with a False condition which will stop the program from looping.

 

The other possibility (rather than comm issue) is the Program issued one of the commands to change the state of the primary load control button. If this is done at the same time the Secondary KPL button is pressed it could prevent the button press message from reaching the PLM. This possibility can be reduced by issuing a Query for the KPL prmary load button which will refresh the state of all the KPL nodes.
