Garage door light set-up

[Plau]

I’m not able to make my programs for my outside light garage working properly!

I ‘have 3 programs:

-Evening, I turn the light at 60% for a couple hours

-When I leave, Garage doors open, to sunset at sunrise turn light on 100%, couple minutes

-Motion sensor, when I arrive at the garage door to sunset at sunrise turn light 100%, couple minutes

Both programs work well but doesn’t return at previously state, or disable other programs!

My Motion Sensor is set up like this !

Jumper 2 and 5 installed

Sensing Mode: unchecked

On Only Mode: unchecked

Night Mode:unchecked

 

 

Evening program outdoor light x%

If

From Sunset

To 10:19:00PM (same day)

Then

Set 'Outdoor / Garage Outside' 60%

Else

Set 'Outdoor / Garage Outside' Off

 

Outside Garage Light 100%

If

From Sunset

To Sunrise (next day)

And $sAlarmZ13_GarageDoorHoney is 0

Or $sAlarmZ14_GarageDoorPaco is 0

Then

Set 'Outdoor / Garage Outside' On

Wait 2 minute

Set 'Outdoor / Garage Outside' Off

Else

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

 

Motion Sensor Outside Garage 100%

If

From Sunset

To Sunrise (next day)

And Status 'Outdoor / MS Outdoor Garage' is On

 

Then

Set Scene 'Garage Outside Light' On

Wait 1 minute

Set Scene 'Garage Outside Light' Off

 

Else

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

I am not certain exactly which of your three programs is not working ("both" programs work well, but which two?) Neither am I sure what you mean by "disable other programs". I will observe, however, that your motion sensor program could run into issues. Try changing "status" to "control".

 

What devices are in your scene 'garage outside lights'?

Jumper 2 has no affect when Jumper 5 is installed.

 

This Program needs parens to achieve the correct order of precedence

 

If

From Sunset

To Sunrise (next day)

And

(

$sAlarmZ13_GarageDoorHoney is 0

Or $sAlarmZ14_GarageDoorPaco is 0

)

Then

Set 'Outdoor / Garage Outside' On

Wait 2 minute

Set 'Outdoor / Garage Outside' Off

Else

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

 

Not sure from the description what the symtom is.

[Plau]

for example in the evening, when the evening program is running and the motion sensor is activated, the light falls at 100% but at the end of the timer does not return at the evening program (light 60%)

[LeeG]

Programs in the ISY are event driven. The light was told to turn On to 60% at Sunset. If something changes the light On Level after that nothing brings if back to 60%. Insteon has no function to "restore to a previous setting". Nothing tells the 60% On Program to run again so the light does not get set to 60% again.

 

Think about ISY Programs as event driven. Something has to tell a Program to run each time.

[oberkc]

for example in the evening, when the evening program is running and the motion sensor is activated, the light falls at 100% but at the end of the timer does not return at the evening program (light 60%)

 

In fact, your motion sensor, were it working, would turn your lights "OFF" (see last command of "then" statement), not to 60% as you appear to want. Are your lights staying 100% on, or turning off? I continue to suspect (as stated in my first response) that you are having issues with your motion program.

 

I also suspect that, to provide meaningful support here, it will ultimately be useful for you to state what you want to happen, versus what IS happening. Also, please describe the content of any scenes used in your programs.

Thank for your comment Guys, I finally found something working for my setup. I just add in my "sub program" Outside Garage Light 100% & Motion Sensor Outside Garage 100% the then condition, to point my main program !
