This is an evaluation macro.
Global variables GV2X4INPUTS, GV2X4INPUT1, GV2X4INPUT2, GV2X4INPUT3, GV2X4INPUT4 must be defined.
Seq 10 retrieves the current state of the EZIO2X4 Inputs. Stores that value into Global variable GV2X4INPUTS.
Seq 20 retrieves Global variable GV2X4INPUTS, stores that value into LOCAL1 variable.
Seq 30 retrieves LOCAL1 variable, ANDs the value 1, tests the result for >0 indicating bit 1 is on, sets GLOBAL variable GV2X4INPUT1 to “Bit 1 ON” or “Bit 1 OFF”
Seq 40 retrieves LOCAL1 variable, ANDs the value 2, tests the result for >0 indicating bit 2 is on, sets GLOBAL variable GV2X4INPUT2 to “Bit 2 ON” or “Bit 2 OFF”
Seq 50 retrieves LOCAL1 variable, ANDs the value 4, tests the result for >0 indicating bit 4 is on, sets GLOBAL variable GV2X4INPUT3 to “Bit 4 ON” or “Bit 4 OFF”
Seq 60 retrieves LOCAL1 variable, ANDs the value 8, tests the result for >0 indicating bit 8 is on, sets GLOBAL variable GV2X4INPUT4 to “Bit 8 ON” or “Bit 8 OFF”
You can view the Global variable content using PowerHome Explorer
Seq Command ID or Value Formula
10 Set Global GV2X4INPUTS ph_insteonwithret("TEST EZIO2X4",73,0)
20 Formula immediate ph_setvar_a(1, 1, ph_getglobal_s("GV2X4INPUTS"))
30 Set Global GV2X4INPUT1 (if (ph_and(ph_getvar_n(1,1),1)>0, "Bit 1 ON", "Bit 1 OFF"))
40 Set Global GV2X4INPUT2 (if (ph_and(ph_getvar_n(1,1),2)>0, "Bit 2 ON", "Bit 2 OFF"))
50 Set Global GV2X4INPUT3 (if (ph_and(ph_getvar_n(1,1),4)>0, "Bit 4 ON", "Bit 4 OFF"))
60 Set Global GV2X4INPUT4 (if (ph_and(ph_getvar_n(1,1),8)>0, "Bit 8 ON", "Bit 8 OFF"))

Thanks Lee,
I have the macro working. I can follow the changed status in the Explorer when the EZIO ouput changes.
How can I convert the state of an input to a trigger for an Insteon command?

I think I had the wrong idea about what you are looking for. Are you looking for a PH Trigger to fire at the time when an EZIO2X4 Input changes state (turns on/off); or are you looking for a way to execute an Insteon command at some arbitrary time based on the current Input state regardless of when that Input state occurred.
Also, regardless of which of the above is true, what type of Insteon command are you looking to execute. There are Direct commands which do not require a specific Controller to Responder Link, there are Broadcast messages that require a link but have no built in retry mechanism and there are Group commands which are the most reliable because there is command retry built into the hardware but require a Controller to Responder Link be in existence. The latter is what Insteon hardware uses in native mode when there is no HA involved. A Direct command controls a single Insteon device. A Broadcast command is not sent to any specific device. All responder devices on the powerline examine a Broadcast command to see if there is a matching responder link record. A Group command can control a single Insteon device or multiple Insteon devices that have been linked together to form a Group.
Perhaps, in addition, a description of what you are trying to accomplish logically would help. ie turn on/off an Insteon device(s) when a specific Input turns on/off; at some arbitrary time determine what the current Input state is and take some action based on that state. As many specifics as possible; are Keypadlinc buttons involved, are multiple Insteon switches involved, etc. associated with the Input state change or current Input status.
EDIT:
Another question. If you want KeypadLinc buttons and/or other insteon switches to turn on/off when the Input turns on/off, do you want this activity to happen regardless of whether PH is running or not?
EDIT2:
Corrected the text. The Direct command description was incorrect regarding ACK (retry) and there was no mention of Broadcast messages.

Lee,
So many questions. Where do I begin. I hope at some point to learn enough about PH to address many of the functions you mention. But I like the path of small steps.
Right now I run PH continuously with timers controlling lights and macros triggered by switches and keypadlincs perfoming various lighting scenes and sequences. I've only need use basic insteon and x10 commands.
I like having access to the home automation system when I'm out of town and at work. I use LogMeIn to view PH over the internet.
I've installed a WaterCop (solenoid water valve) that controls the main water supply to the house. When I'm out of town I turn off the water and avoid the possibility of any flooding that I'm not around to see. With PH I'll be able to turn it on for the cat sitter and be sure it's off when they leave.
The Watercop comes with a wired remote panel that has two momentary switches. One for On and one for OFF. It has two indicator lights to indicate these states. I want to duplicate this setup in PH. Basically setting up a virtual KeypadLinc.
The Watercop uses +5v dc for the switch and indicator lights making direct connection with the EZIO2X4 straightforward.
I connected, in parallel, the On switch to output1 and the Off switch to output2. The insteon command (ph_insteon("EZIO",72,1) turns on output1 and opens with Watercop valve. Similarly, ph_insteon("EZIO",72,2) turns on output 2 and closes the Watercop valve. Not knowing the command to turn off each output to create a momentary switch, I used the built in EZIO timer function to do that part. (I do hope to learn those commands later)
Now I need to create a virtual indicator light (VIL) in PH to respond to Input1 and Input2 which are wired in parallel to the indicator lamps on the wired remote panel. This VIL would ideally be visible in the Device List.
In the Control Center I would create a complete virtual remote panel with both the on and off switches and on and off indicator lights.

First, (ph_insteon("EZIO",72,0)) turns off both output relays. Using the output timer is the best approach because it always gives the result of a momentary button press.
This can be done with less macros and more programming but this will give you what you need, I think. I have done this on my system and it does work.
Under PH define 2 X10 devices. I used D1 and D2 to represent Input 1 and Input 2 on the EZIO2X4 but any two unused X10 addresses will do. The X10 devices do show up in the Device Status display and are changed from Off to On to Off as the EZIO2X4 Inputs change from Off to On to Off.
Create 4 macros; macro 1 turns on X10 D1, macro 2 turns off X10 D1, macro 3 turns on X10 D2, macro 4 turns off X10 D2.
Create 4 triggers.
Trigger 1
invokes macro 1,
Insteon Group In,
ID of EZIO2X4
Trigger ID Number = 1
Trigger Value = On
Trigger 2
invokes macro 2,
Insteon Group In,
ID of EZIO2X4
Trigger ID Number = 1
Trigger Value = Off
Trigger 3
invokes macro 3,
Insteon Group In,
ID of EZIO2X4
Trigger ID Number = 2
Trigger Value = On
Trigger 4
invokes macro 4,
Insteon Group In,
ID of EZIO2X4
Trigger ID Number = 2
Trigger Value = Off
Link EZIO2X4 Input 1 (Group 1) as a controller, the PLC as responder.
Link EZIO2X4 Input 2 (Group 2) as a controller, the PLC as responder.
If the links are established with the Set button on the EZIO2X4 the following steps are not needed.
Otherwise, invoke the Simplehomenet Utility Suite (free download). Under the EZIOxx tab, Inputs Settings and Monitor, set Input 1 to Group 1 and set Input 2 to Group 2.
When EZIO2X4 Input 1 turns on, it sends a Group 1 ON command sequence to the PLC which causes trigger 1 to fire, invokes macro 1 which turns X10 D1 ON which is reflected in the Device Status display as X10 D1 ON.
When EZIO2X4 Input 1 turns off, it sends a Group 1 OFF command sequence to the PLC which causes trigger 2 to fire, invokes macro 2 which turns X10 D1 OFF which is reflected in the Device Status display as X10 D1 OFF.
When EZIO2X4 Input 2 turns on, it sends a Group 2 ON command sequence to the PLC which causes trigger 3 to fire, invokes macro 3 which turns X10 D2 ON which is reflected in the Device Status display as X10 D2 ON.
When EZIO2X4 Input 2 turns off, it sends a Group 2 OFF command sequence to the PLC which causes trigger 4 to fire, invokes macro 4 which turns X10 D2 OFF which is reflected in the Device Status display as X10 D2 OFF.
As I said earlier, I have created this on my system and it works as described.

Lee,
I set up the x10 devices, macros and triggers as specified. The macros activate the x10 devices properly, but the triggers aren't working.
I couldn't link the EZIO with the PLC using the set button. Using the SHN Utility I set Input 1 to Group 1 and Input 2 to Group 2. Actuate output is unchecked. Timer is 0 and Ignore on the off is unchecked.
I note in the SHN utility that there is no Sent Insteon Traffic either.
How can I be verify that a group command is being sent.

The Insteon Traffic tab is not a generalize Insteon message trace. It is tracing only messages that the Utility originated and the responses generated to those messages.
Invoke the SHN Utility and connect to the PLC. In the XP system tray you will find a blue T shaped Icon. This represents the SDM3 PLC interface. Double click on the T shaped Icon to open the SDM3 window. That is a generalized trace. It will show the Insteon messages generated by an Input state change, if any.
The EZIO2X4 does not send Group commands unless a link has been established between itself as a Controller and the Responder, the PLC in this case. The Group number in the Controller link must match the Group number assigned to the Inputx being used. You followed the linking procedure described in the EZIO2X4 Quick Start Guide for "Controlling One or Multiple INSTEON Devices with Signals on the Inputs". What aspect of that procedure did not work.
You are running Powerhome. Start Insteon Explorer and look at the Insteon Raw Log window for the same traffic you would see in the SDM3 window.

Lee,
I followed the linking procedure described in the EZIO2X4 Quick Start Guide for "Controlling One or Multiple INSTEON Devices with Signals on the Inputs" and thought it worked when the lights flashed according to the directions. But the Inputs never changed on the Device List. And PH never showed a link between the EZIO and the PLC (as responder).
So I created the link using PH. Actually two links, to Group1 and Group2. The Inputs change now. But sluggishly and definitely unreliably. Sometimes accurately, often not.
But the global variables always accurately indicate the status of the inputs. What about reading the global variable state and having it control the X10 macros rather than just writing Bit 1 on or Bit 1 off.

Suggest clicking on PH Control/Powerhome Status and watch the Event Log as you cycle each Input On and Off. If the Event Log shows Insteon In when each Input is cycled On and Off PH is recognizing the Group On/Off coming in. It should not be necessary to read the state of the Inputs. It would have to be done when the Group On/Off is detected and would be redundant at that point. Each Insteon In tells you which Input and whether it went ON or OFF. The Event Log will show the Insteon In, the macro invocation and the issuing of the X10 messages. Each Event Log entry is time stamped which will show where the time is being taken up.

The Group command sequence is the most reliable form of Insteon communication. There is command redundancy with the Group Broadcast/Group Cleanup Direct messages as well as message retry of the Group Cleanup Direct.
What were you thinking about using to trigger the macro that reads the input state if not the Group In ON/OFF message?

Lee,
This is a printout of eventlog after executing the macros wcon and wcoff a few times. I wasn't sure if you needed more than one instance to get an idea of what's going on and not going on.
wcon executes the insteon command (ph_insteon("EZIO",72,1) turns on output1 and opens Watercop valve.
wcoff executes the insteon command (ph_insteon("EZIO",72,2) turns on output2 and closes Watercop valve.

The Event Log shows trigger checks being done that are unexpected…
10/29/2008 21:56:22.812 Trigger check of INPUT2OFF performed.
10/29/2008 21:56:22.546 Trigger check of INPUT1OFF performed.
10/29/2008 21:56:22.312 Trigger check of INPUT2OFF performed.
10/29/2008 21:56:21.984 Trigger check of INPUT2OFF performed.
10/29/2008 21:56:21.687 Trigger check of INPUT2OFF performed.
Within the span of approx 1 second it appears that 5 Trigger Checks were done, 4 for INPUT2OFF and 1 for INPUT1OFF. Also apparently Insteon messages are not being traced. Without the Insteon messages traced I don’t know why so many inbound messages would be coming unless what is driving EZIO2X4 Input 1 and Input 2 is erratic, generating multiple state change messages for what should be a single event. Also the TEST macro says Input 3 and Input 4 changed state. What is connected to EZIO2X4 Input 3 and Input 4 that results in those Inputs changing state? Lots of questions.
First let’s fix the Event Log options. Using PowerHome Explorer, Setup, Logs, in the right hand column, Insteon In: and Insteon Out: should be checked. Probably need a Reinit after changing these options.
Next, what is connected to EZIO2X4 Inputs 3 and 4. If nothing, they should be pulled to an OFF state with a 10K resister between each Input and 5V so false state changes do not occur.
What is actually driving Input 1 and Input 2. I think you said WaterCop lights. Can you elaborate on this? Would the condition being monitored by Input 1 and Input 2 fluctuate during a valve open or valve close operation? So many trigger checks at once suggest the signal connected to Input 1 and Input 2 is not a clean On/Off.
In the Triggers INPUT1OFF and INPUT2OFF, what are the Trigger Type, Trigger ID, Trigger ID Number and Trigger Value.
There is so much activity being generated by a single WCON execution I’m not surprised you are experiencing “sluggish” operation. Do not invoke the TEST macro on the next test. It just adds to the activity. The Insteon In/Insteon Out trace entries will show what is happening.
After fixing the Event Log options and installing pullup resisters on Input 3 and Input 4 (I’m making an assumption about nothing being connected to these Inputs) rerun a WCON invocation and post the trace. I suspect that what you are using to drive EZIO2X4 Input 1 and Input 2 is not a clean DC signal. Maybe they are AC lights or the DC signal powering those lights is not clean. If the Input 1 and Input 2 signals are DC, there is a debounce option in the EZIO2X4 Configuration Register that may help smooth out the triggering of Input 1 and Input 2. Depends on how bad the Input signals are swinging if this option will help. I would turn the debounce option on before running another test.
07:17:32 Outgoing X10 Insteon DM Controller….House code: D, Command: Off
07:17:32 Insteon In Incoming Insteon received…. Decode: Group Cleanup Direct Group: 1,Off
07:17:31 Outgoing X10 Insteon DM Controller….House code: D, Unit Code: 1
07:17:31 User Message Macro Input 1 Off ran
07:17:31 Macro Macro M2X4INPUT1OFF executed
07:17:31 Trigger Check Trigger check of T2X4INPUT1TOX10OFF performed
07:17:31 Insteon In Incoming Insteon received…. Decode: Group Broadcast Group: 1,Off
From bottom up
A Group Broadcast for Group 1 Off is received when Input 1 turns off
The Trigger Check is done which invokes macro
Macro is invoked
I issue a User Message from macro indicating macro ran
Macro issues X10 message D1
A Group Cleanup Direct for Group 1 Off is received. This is the second of the 2 message Group sequence
Macro isses X10 message D Off
This is what you should see when an Input state change occurs with a clean DC signal

Lee,
Input 1 of EZIO is connected in parallel to a 5vdc indicator lamp on the Watercop the goes on when the valve is open
Input 2 of EZIO is connected in parallel to a 5vdc indicator lamp on the Watercop the goes on when the valve is closed
I've added the pullup resistors between inputs 3 & 4 and +5v on the EZIO
I added debounce inputs in SHN utility.
Here's the latest Insteon report of a WCON and WCOFF macro
Still not right.
I don't see any Group 1 message at all now.
You asked this question:
What were you thinking about using to trigger the macro that reads the input state if not the Group In ON/OFF message?
Why can't you use the same statement that reads the inputs?
30 Set Global GV2X4INPUT1 (if (ph_and(ph_getvar_n(1,1),1)>0, "Bit 1 ON", "Bit 1 OFF"))
This appears to be an if,then,else statement that reads the input state and writes a text message either on or off.
I was thinking that a similar statement could substitute a macro turning on D1 for "Bit 1 On" and a macro turning D1 off for "Bit 1 Off"
The equivalent of - Set Global GV2X4INPUT1 (if (ph_and(ph_getvar_n(1,1),1)>0, MacroD1on, MacroD1off))
I sure hope I'm not embarrassing myself to much with my ignorance of programming.

You definitely have a signal problem with what is driving the Inputs. There are five Group Broadcast messages for Group 2 within 1.5 seconds. You will have to find some way to clean that up or use some other way to control the Inputs.

The loss of Input 1 could be a connection problem, a problem with the Input 1 to Group 1 definition or the Controller of link record for Input 1. Use the SHN Utility to check the Group number Input 1 is using and display the link records in the EZIO2X4 to be sure the Controller of link record for Group 1 is still present.
The problem with reading the Input states is not what you would do with the information but when you would run the macro that reads the input states. You can always change setting the Global variables to issuing X10 commands for D1 and D2. But how do you know when to run that macro.
I guess you could put a Wait in the MCON and MCOFF macros, waiting n number of seconds required for the value to open or close and then issue the read Input states. That works for when the MCON and MCOFF macros cause the valve to move but does not cover the case where the value is moved using local control.
EDIT: I missed a message from Input 1.

To the Macro that reads the Input states, add the 2 Formula lines at the end. These will run the macros associated with the Input state to set D1 and D2 ON and OFF. This is the same macro I posted before with two additional lines added at the end. Seq 30,40,50,60 are simply test verification and can be removed.
Seq Command ID or Value Formula
10 Set Global GV2X4INPUTS ph_insteonwithret("TEST EZIO2X4",73,0)
20 Formula immediate ph_setvar_a(1, 1, ph_getglobal_s("GV2X4INPUTS"))
30 Set Global GV2X4INPUT1 (if (ph_and(ph_getvar_n(1,1),1)>0, "Bit 1 ON", "Bit 1 OFF"))
40 Set Global GV2X4INPUT2 (if (ph_and(ph_getvar_n(1,1),2)>0, "Bit 2 ON", "Bit 2 OFF"))
50 Set Global GV2X4INPUT3 (if (ph_and(ph_getvar_n(1,1),4)>0, "Bit 4 ON", "Bit 4 OFF"))
60 Set Global GV2X4INPUT4 (if (ph_and(ph_getvar_n(1,1),8)>0, "Bit 8 ON", "Bit 8 OFF"))
70 Formula immediate ph_macro(if (ph_and(ph_getvar_n(1,1),1)>0, "M2X4INPUT1ON", "M2X4INPUT1OFF"))
80 Formula immediate ph_macro(if (ph_and(ph_getvar_n(1,1),2)>0, "M2X4INPUT2ON", "M2X4INPUT2OFF"))

Lee,
For completeness of the post here are my latest findings.
1. The SHN utility has been a little inconsistant. The group commands sometimes get written and read incorrectly. Eventually did get the off to on commands set to 11 and on to off commands set to 13. In addition the SHN utility doesn't seem to like Power-Home, so I have to close PH whenvever I open the SHN utility.
2. The EZIO is not at fault. I disconnected the Watercop indicators from the inputs of the EZIO. I substituted switches to simulate Input1 and Input2 on and off states. The clean signals worked flawlessly with the EZIO sending the group commands and the D1 & D2 macros working as expected. I built a black box with two small relays triggered by the Watercop to substitute for the switches. This worked with the EZIO as it should, but the Watercop didn't tolerate the relays well, giving off an ominous buzzing every time the state changed. Rather than risk damaging the Watercop or experiment further with different relays, I went back to the original wiring with the Watercop indicators connected directly to the EZIO inputs.
4. The addition of the last two lines of code you suggested and a delay of a few seconds works, with the indicators changing state correctly. This works even if the Watercop is switched manually.
Thanks
I'm planning a similar setup for the garage doors this spring, which should be easier now that I've been through this and with your fine example on the SHN website.
I see there is a new Insteon device coming from Smarthome
which might be easier to use.
Item# 2450 - I/O Linc - INSTEON Low Voltage / Contact Closure Interface ( 1 In / 1 Out ). What do you think?
Jerry

With availability the end of December no one has any experience with the device. Even if it slips as the motion detector did several times one would expect it to be available by spring. Depends on what your plans are beyond a single door. If that is all there will be the 2450 should do the trick (without benefit of having one). Just depends on whether a 1x1 or 2x4 is the better long term fit. Because I chose to monitor both open and closed states of two doors (because they are not visible from the house) and control two door openers the 2x4 was the natural choice for me. Of course the 2450 was not an option back when I did the garage. I would need 4 of them to do what I do with the single 2X4.
EDIT: also keep in mind that with the Inputs back on the lights the Insteon network is being flooded with messages while the valve is moving. Could cause problems later if the valve is being moved coincident with other Insteon activity.

I see your point. Monitoring both states (just as the Watercop does) is correct way. More failsafe.

I agree completely that active monitoring of the Watercop is the correct thing to do. I think by not finding a way to do that cleanly will give you problems later on as you add more Insteon stuff. The fact that you will not be moving the water valve very often reduces that exposure. You can always come back to it later if Insteon traffic conflicts do arise. A different 5V relay, a TTL or CMOS based circuit that latches up for 1 or 2 seconds to mask the voltage swing on the valve lights, there are solutions if need be. Good luck with your garage project. Smarthome carries a wide gap magnetic contact that works well on garage doors. I used what I had in my spare parts drawer which works fine but contact spacing is important on a bay door that generally has some play in the open or closed position.

I seem to have had the same thoughts. The little black box is on my workbench behind a few more immediate projects.
I just might call Watercop and see if they have anything to offer.
I'm sure we'll touch bases again.
