Hello forum experts:
I'm a complete newbie and have some questions about the capability to hold program memories of two controller that I'm interested in, namely M1 Gold and Omnipro 2.
I've searched and read all I could find, but nothing comes up. I'm sorry if they are discussed elwhere that I could not find them, please point me to the right direction.
My question is, What are the differences between rules and programming lines, regarding how much memory it uses per one? I know ELK's rule consists of an event, an optional condition and an action. M1 Gold list 528 rule capacity. I watch HAI Webinar and here it lists its sample programming:
1. TIMED SUNSET WTWTFSS
THEN front porch ON
THEN drive way flood light ON
THEN master bed ON
This takes 4 programming lines in HAI. How many rules it uses in ELK? One or 4?
2. WHEN front door NOT READY
AND IF DARK
AND IF AWY
THEN overhead garage door light ON
This takes one programming line.
3. EVERY MINUTE
AND IF downstair current temperature IS GREATER THAN 75
THEN fan ON
This takes 3 lines.
4. WHEN front gate
AND IF DARK
THEN driveway flood light ON FOR 5 MINUTES
This takes one line.
5. WHEN Tom's master code OFF
WHEN Bob's master code OFF
THEN ALL t-stats MODE AUTO
THEN ALL t-stats COOL SETPOINT 75
THEN ALL t-stats HEAT SETPOINT 70
THEN ALL UNIT ON
THEN living room AUDIO ON
THEN living room AUDIO VOLUMN 33%
THEN living room AUDIO SOURCE XM RADIO
This takes 10 lines.
It gets me confused more and more. First, it seems like one action per line, regardless number of conditions as line #2 shows, but line #3 shows different. Then line #4 takes only 0ne. The last one, line #5 takes 10 lines of programming while I see only 2 events and 7 actions.
So, how does it relate to ELK's number of rules it takes? If it takes 5 rules vs 19 programming lines as per HAI then 528 rules vs 1500 lines is not much different.
Sorry for its long and dumb question.
Thanks.
