doychevg Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Hello, In my project I have 2 windows which when they are being open, my cooling system is turning OFF and respectfully when closed, the cooling system is turning ON with KNX wall keypad. But sometimes it is not working properly due to missing check-up on the window variable state (open,closed) toward the keypad. Is there some way to make some programming in order to send consistent updates on the windows states? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your KNX is not providing a reliable state change then there is nothing much you can do but to use something else totally, I have the same setup with GE micro Window/Door Sensors that are integrated to C4, never ever missed an event!

doychevg Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 Hello Amr, This is not about KNX or something else. This post is about how to get constantly refreshed state of any variable via Control4. -- Georgi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 he variable changes constantly - so there should be a trigger and just check for the variable state and trigger the action. You don’t need to worry about it updating - the system will do it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than a communication issue, there’s no reason to reinvent the logic. a change in state creates an event. only if the change isn’t being received would you need to check the state manually. You would need a schedule time event, recurring timer or similar to periodically run a macro to check states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be this Macro in order to check states? That's the main question. What is the action that is needed in order to say "Hey C4, kindly check up state on this, this & that variable in every 5,10,30 min" ?
