Hi, first off.. you guys here are awesome.
So, I have an omnipro ii and pc access. I have my landscape lights set to go on and off at certain times, and I have flags set up to activate and work as timers to check the lights every 15 seconds after their initial on/off command to make sure they got the signal. (i should mention I am using UPB)
Anyway, it worked great the first few nights, but they didnt come on last night. So I check the event log in pc access, and It's FULL of zone 7 messages. The even log says, over and over "zone 7 trouble" then "zone 7 trouble cleared". Sometimes it will report trouble and clear up to four times within one minute.
I have nothing on zone 7, I dont know why it's reporting trouble. I think it affects my lights because of the flag timer i have set up. When the lights turn on or off, they active a flag for 15 seconds. While that flag is active the op ii will check the status of my lights and change them appropriately, and at the end of the 15 second flag if they're still not appropriately on or off the flag will stay on for another 15 seconds. But in the event of ANY alarm (burglar, fire, whatever) the flag is disabled because the lights need to stay on.
so, basically, my lights should work. and I dont know why zone 7 is reporting trouble. I Think the lighting problem is due to the fact that I havent installed a phase coupler yet (i have it, just havent gotten around to it). But as far as zone 7.. I have no clue.
