Help with programming

[ronbo]

over 25 years of programming, but this event driven system has stumped me.

 

If Alarm_Disarmed is True

and program IsDark is True

Then

Set Entry Light on

Else

 

Routine IsDark simply return true between sunset and sunrise next day.

Alarm_Disarmed is an EZIO2x4 relay which goes true and stays true when the alarm is disarmed.

 

The routine works when the system is disarmed, but each evening at sunset it sets the entry light on. I understand why it is happening, but I am not sure how to fix it.

ronbo,

 

The reason is that your Alarm_Disarmed program is probably always true and thus the whole condition now depends on the time. Would you be kind enough to post your Alarm_Disarmed program?

 

With kind regards,

Michel
