Question regarding which program is least labor intensive for the ISY, based on say 50 or 100 of these programs running at the same time. I have a mix of both programs and am looking to clean up and standardize my programming and am looking for the least labor intensive method.

 

Prgm: Program 1

If
        $Var_1 is 1

Then
       Wait  20 Minutes
       Run Program 'Program 1' (Else Path)

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

 

Prgm: Program 2

If
       From    Last Run Time for 'Program 1'
       To      Last Run Time for 'Program 1' + 20 minutes (same day)

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

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

 

Using Program 2 in reality does actually require 2 programs, the first program (program 1) without the Then section would act as the trigger per say for the second.

 

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim,

 

It should not make any difference at all. Events are events be it a variable, program state, device events, etc. The only thing that might take time is if you save the variables each time they change. And, even then, if you are not changing the variable every second, I do not think it would have any impact.

 

With kind regards,

Michel
