Problem with program...

[jmed999]

This program worked great for a couple weeks. Now it turns the back lights on accurately but doesn't turn them off after 5 minutes.

 

If
       Elk Zone 'Back Door' is Violated
   And From    Sunset 
       To      Sunrise (next day)

Then
       Set Scene 'Back Lights' Fast On
       Wait  5 minutes 
       Set Scene 'Back Lights' Fast Off

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

 

I can manually turn the scene on and off easily so I don't think it's a communication issue. Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

The Zone changed state before the 5 minutes elapsed.

That program would never have worked.

 

When you close the door, the zone becomes normal, which re-triggers the program, ending the "wait", the "if" evaluates to false, running the "else", which is empty.

 

You need to put the "wait 5 minutes, set light off" in the else clause.

Got ya! Thanks! Works perfectly now!

Lol I remembered this right after I posted the question. I'm learning, just a little slow. Thanks for your help!
