Away folder

This is an excellent idea for controlling various ISY programs. Thanks to the author: Chris Jahn.

I used it in my configuration too.

Description

Version 2.6.6 - Relevant Wiki Link: Precedence and Execution Order

The True/False status of a Folder may be tested using a program.

Advantages

By testing the status of a Folder, it is easier to choose which programs within the Folder run when it becomes True.

How to use it

1. Select Program in the dropdown for an Action

2. Select a Folder (the selection list contains all Programs followed by all Folders)

Example:

Folder AWAY

Code:

Folder Conditions for 'AWAY'

Add conditions to limit when programs in this folder are allowed to run.

If

        Status  'Away Button' is On

Then

   Allow the programs in this folder to run.

Program inside Folder AWAY.

- This turns the bathroom light on randomly. You could add more of these programs in the folder for Kitchen, Bedrooms, etc.

Program inside Folder AWAY.

- This turns the bathroom light on randomly. You could add more of these programs in the folder for Kitchen, Bedrooms, etc.

Code:

If

        Folder  'AWAY' is True

Then

        Repeat Every  1 hour

           Wait  15 minutes  (Random)

           Set 'Bathroom Light' On

           Wait  10 minutes

           Wait  2 minutes  (Random)

           Set 'Bathroom Light' Off

Else

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

Program inside Folder AWAY.

- This sends an e-mail notification if the Bathroom switch is pressed on while you are away. You could add more switches to this program e.g. Kitchen, Living Room etc.

Code:

If

        Control 'Bathroom Switch' is switched On

     Or Control 'Bathroom Switch' is switched Fast On

     Or Control 'Bathroom Switch' is switched Fade Up

     Or Control 'Bathroom Switch' is switched Bright

Then

        Send Notification to All

Else

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

Program not inside Folder AWAY.

- This is used to ensure all the lights randomly turned on will be turned off when the AWAY Folder becomes False, and all programs in it are stopped.

Code:

If

        Folder  'AWAY' is False

Then

        Set 'Bathroom Light' Off

Else

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