apostolakisl Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Last week we had lots of thunderstorms and the power was flickering a bunch. I have a UPS that powers my ISY, Router, Modem, and Elk XEP. Everything worked great through the storms, until a couple days later the UPS died. So much for the "U" in UPS! This of course caused a reboot of the ISY and XEP unit. I then noticed my sprinkler didn't run. If Time is 6:00:00AM And Elk Output 'Output 102' is Off Then Set Elk Output 'Output 066' On for 2 Seconds [THIS CAUSES ELK TO EXECUTE THE SPRINKLER PROGRAM] Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') The summary said the program was "false" at 6am when it should have been true. I checked the output status and it was blank (as were most of them). I assume "blank" does not qualify as "off" so it went "false" and didn't run. My concern is that when power to the system restored, the outputs weren't queried. I don't believe there is a programmatic way to force an output query. Manually running the query seems to have put things in order, but if this had happened while I was out of town, trouble would have ensued. This was reproducible as I ended up rebooting the system a couple times over a few days as I worked on the UPS. Is there something I am missing here that can prevent this problem or would an ISY firmware change be needed?
Michel Kohanim Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 apostolakisl, Was it only the outputs that had blank values or nothing in ELK had any status? With kind regards, Michel
