I have a couple ground fault circuits that have Insteon devices on them and other important equipment. These circuits are notorious for tripping durring times of high moisture. I'd like to receive a text message on my mobile phone when one of the circuits trips.

 

I created a simple program that checks the response of an insteon device and then sends me a Verizon text if the response is false. How do I schedule that program to run on the hour or so?

 

One of the circuits has the garage refrigerator on it and the other circuit is supplying power for the irrigation heat tape in the winter so I need to know when these circuits are tripped.

 

Thanks, -phil

Hi Phil-

 

Here ya go:

 

Test Schedule

If
       $sBreaker_Notify is 1

Then
       Repeat Every  1 hour 
          Run Program 'BreakerTest1' (If)
          Run Program 'BreakerTest2' (If)
Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I used a state Variable to allow me to enable/disable the testing easily. This also allows me to force a test with MobiLinc by toggling this variable off/on. Or I could just run each of the test programs manually as well.

 

BreakerTest1 (disable this program and BreakerTest2- They will be called by the schedule and do not need to run otherwise)

If
       Status  'Basement / Alyssa's Room / Alyssa's Room' is not Responding

Then
       Send Notification to 'My Cell'

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

 

Make a BreakerTest2 for the other circuit just like BreakerTest1

 

Hope this helps.

That's perfect. I completely over looked the Repeat command in Actions. I kept mulling over something in the Schedule group and got stuck.

 

thanks for the quick help. -phil
