ajd123 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I am creating programming so anytime any light in a bathroom is turned on it triggers a timer that will turn on my bathroom exhaust fan. If a light is on AND then another light is turned on in the bathroom, I want the timer to restart. In the Timer Agent there are 7 choices: start, stop, restart, reset, pause, resume, expired In the Timer Programming there are only 6 choices: start, stop, reset, pause, resume, expired. RESTART is not available? Figured this out, it is available in ACTIONS menu. Sorry for the post, no way to delete it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoe Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Try the extract fan driver/experience button. msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any benefit to using this over a timer programmed in the fashion below? FYI, I have it like this so the timer for the exhaust fan resets anytime a light is turned on OR off.

msgreenf Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Yes. No programming and all config. Easier to change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDavisNJ Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 @ajd123 you state your programming objective is: anytime any light in a bathroom is turned on it triggers a timer that will turn on my bathroom exhaust fan. If a light is on AND then another light is turned on in the bathroom, I want the timer to restart. The screenshots above show you have set the Bathroom Fan Timer to RESTART when the Master Bath lights turn OFF. Is this intentional because you want the fan to run a bit longer after all lights are off? Or is your intent to turn the fan OFF after all lights are off? If you have a lot of light switches in the bathroom, one suggestion would be to put all of your conditional programming into a single macro. You can then run the macro every time one of the switches changes state. This keeps all of the programming centralized and makes the logic easier to follow, troubleshoot, and change.

Want the fans to run longer. 8 minutes ago, BDavisNJ said: If you have a lot of light switches in the bathroom, one suggestion would be to put all of your conditional programming into a single macro.

I will consider this. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
