The rule doesn't fire completely -- Elk M1G/ ISY 994i/ INSTEON

Hello, I am new to Elk rules programming .. while this rule turns the light on, it does not turn it off after 30 seconds:
 
---
WHENEVER Door (Zn 10) BECOMES NOT SECURE
THEN TURN Light [1 (A1)] ON, FADE RATE = 0 FOR 30 SECS
---
 
I am using M1G (firmware 5.3.0) with ISY 994i (firmware 4.0.5) and INSTEON.
 
 
The interesting part is that the following rule works perfectly:
---
WHENEVER Door (Zn 10) BECOMES NOT SECURE
THEN TURN Output 001 (Out 1) ON FOR 5 SECS
---
 
Any thoughts on how to debug this issue?
 
Thanks so much in advance.

the conditional for restoral is not present and it does not know the status of the light (on/off) at the end of the time.

@DELInstallations -- thanks for the input, I am fairly new to this ...
 
Based on your input it sounds like the rule needs to be improved to get the desired behavior -- would you mind sharing how to add that extra condition(s).
 
I do really appreciate the help. Thanks!!

Do you have the optional ELK ISY Add On firmware module?
You may also want to ask in the UDI Forums if you have not tried there yet.

No, I do not have that optional add-on module -- still debating if I will have the need to spend extra $100
 
I will post this in the UDI forums as well.
 
Thanks for your help.

I know its expensive but do yourself a favor and get the add on it makes integrating the M1 Gold with the ISY so much easier and much easier to setup rules.

Try it without the Fade Rate.  I am not sure that option works with the ISY.
 
+1 for using the ISY Elk Module.  Doing that you can move all your lighting rules to the ISY and forget the whole export/import, etc.

I'm curious why this doesn't work - I know it works with UPB.  I have some lights that "when kids bedroom door opens AND it is dark outside, turn on bathroom light for 5 minutes fade rate=7" - and it works very well.
 
Of course an alternative that I know would work would be:
Whenever door becomes non secure turn on output 100 for 30 seconds
Whenever output 100 turns on, turn light xx on.
Whenever output 100 turns off, turn light xx off.
