My first attempt to write a PH formula:
if(ph_getx10stat(TESTX10) = 2,ph_insteon(RESET SYSTEM,19,0),ph_insteon(RESET SYSTEM,17,255))
I've tried changing a few things and keep getting a syntax error message. The goal is this:
If testx10 is on, then set reset system off, else set reset system on.
I'm sure it's something very simple/stupid that I am doing wrong.
Thanks for your help.
Mitch

This should work.
If (ph_getx10stat(“TESTX10”) = 2,ph_insteon("RESET SYSTEM”,19,0) , ph_insteon(“RESET SYSTEM”,17,255)

Typically strings have quotes around them. If I told you that it would have been too easy. Also remember you can’t use quotes within quotes. You would then use apostrophes.

Ok, so it works, but it still gives me a 'formula error' in the event status bar. I can see the right things happening in the event log (no report of error), but the flash or red ERROR bugs me - what' up with that?

Generally where the formula has been entered you can double click to the Formula Builder. Each individual command in a complex statement can be executed to determine where the error is coming from. The posted example is missing a final trailing ) but that could just be a problem with the post and not the statement itself.

Good catch Lee. When I tested it was right but when I posted I used Mitch’s post and modified it and didn’t correct the IF trailing paren.
Mitch, there is also a known glitch in this release that will cause an execution formula error when issuing some Insteon commands where in actuality there is no error.

Yes, I caught the missing paren. I think it may be a glitch in PH - when I do verify in formula builder I get this:
Execution time: 0.000 seconds.
The formula evaluates to: 0
I think that means no errors?
Thanks!
