Virtual Devices and conditional events

[weathrman1]

I'm having a problem with conditional events triggering even when the condition is not true.

For instance, below is what I believe to be a simple manual event with conditions. If I manually trigger the event during the day, nothing should happen. However, when I test manually triggering the event during the day it turns my virtual device off. Is there something that I am missing? Thanks

More than just Virtual Devices

I tried another test with an insteon device and manual with day of week condition. I got the same results. The event triggered even though the conditions were not true. Manual with condition events just don't seem to be working.

If you manually trigger an event by pushing the run button it will always trigger.

If you run it from another event as it should be, make sure you checked the box to have it check conditions in the event that is running your conditional event.

Thank you

Nightwalker,

Thank you. I can't believe I passed right over that check box. I had been trying to run the conditional event from another event but lacked the situational awarness to check the conditions box. Thanks again!

glad I could help, it's nice to give back once in a while instead of always having to get help.
