Does ELKRP have a "Wait" or "Repeat"?
- Thread starter RogueOne
- Start date
Can you be more specific about what you want to wait for and what you want to repeat (and when you want to repeat it)?
The M1 executes rules when there is a change in state of a signal, such as a zone input. So, if you want to wait for something, you need to specify what the event is that you are waiting for. You can also wait for time events, such as a specific time of day, or a certain number of hours, minutes or seconds to pass. The time based rules can be combined with other conditions. That gives you something that you can use to repeat operations.

When I push my disarm button on the keyfob, it is set to turn on the power to my garage door through an insteon wall outlet. Sometimes the plug doesn't turn on the first time so I would like to add a repeat in the "Then" section of my ELKRP rule. The wait question is I would just like to know because the ISY has a wait command.
One way to repeat the command to the Insteon outlet would be to use a phantom output to trigger the re-issuing of the command.
Whenever Area 1 Armed State becomes Disarmed
Then Turn Light01 On
Then Turn Output 190 On for 2 Seconds
Whenever Output 190 State is Turned Off
Then Turn Light01 On
There is no specific wait command on the M1. But you can create a wait condition with similar usage of outputs and/or counters.

Is your garage door monitored by a security zone? That could be the basis of your repeat logic so it repeats as often as needed until it opens? For example the keyfob could turn on a phantom output and the outlet program would run when the output is on. Once the zone is not secure turn off the output.
Another thought - what happens when the outlet is turned on? Does it only open the door or does it in effect toggle from open / close? Or does it just basically plug in the opener?
