Using Keypadlinc for all lights off but then.... (Prm help!)

[richtimpa]

I am using a Keypadlinc to control all lights off at bedtime. When we go to bed you hit the off button and then it shuts down all the units on. The problem if you go outside the bedroom and turn on a few lights and the go back, if you hit "OFF" again nothng happens becuase the ISY already shows the device in the off postion so it does nothing about running the command again. (Yes the On and off buttons are in non toggle mode)

 

I'm stumped. How do I get ths to happen WHEN te Keypadlinc is already off.

 

If

From 10:00:00PM

To 5:00:00AM (next day)

And Status 'Master BDRM Keypad On' is Off

 

Then

Set Scene 'My Lighting' Off

Wait 2 seconds

Run Program 'all x10 off' (Then Path)

$Night_light = 0

Set 'Master BDRM Keypad On' On 6 / Off 0 (Backlight Level)

 

Else

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

Use 'If Control' rather than 'If Status'. If Control looks for the commands coming from the device and will trigger the Program even if getting two Off commands in a row.

Thanks I'll try that and get back to you.

The reason to use control condition is that a control will trigger a program evaluation upon EACH receipt of the anticipated command. Unlike control, a "status" condition will trigger an evaluation only after a CHANGE in status. If a device status is off, and you turn it off again, the status has not changed and no program evaluation will take place.

Nicely explained. I was struggling with this myself a time ago.
