Triggerlinc closed question

[RichTJ99]

Hi,

 

I was curious about the triggerlinc in the ISY. It seems that the 'closed' part of a triggerlinc tends never to be active.

 

I have two triggerincs, a garage and a driveway triggerlinc.

 

The garage, has opened and closed. Closed never does anything. Its either the garage opened is on or off, closed is blank.

 

Is this the normal behavior?

 

I have another triggerlinc that is connected to a driveway alarm. For the most part that one is on or off on the open part.

 

I looked now as I have a program that will turn all exterior lights on for 20 minutes if its after 430pm until 7am if it goes off. It also sends me an email when driveway open is turned on.

 

Someone came home and the driveway lights did not come on & I didnt get an email. The status of the ISY says that driveway Closed is on, and driveway open is off.

 

All other triggerlincs have nothing for the closed (I have 6 other triggerlincs) no status at all.

 

Any ideas what is the problem?

 

Thanks,

Rich

A TriggerLinc can operate in two modes, under control of a single jumper on the PC board. With the jumper installed the Opened node receives On and Off commands as the magnet or external switch is cycled.

 

With the jumper removed the Opened and Closed nodes alternate On commands as the magnet or external switch is cycled. In this mode the TriggerLinc does NOT send Off commands to either node.

 

I suspect the TriggerLinc that sent an On command to the Closed node either has a lose jumper or the battery is low.
