I am struggling with the EZFlora commands. I have vb script that turns on zone, runs a delay, then turns it off.
ph.insteon("EZ_FLORA_SPRINKLER",64,cInt(intEZFValveNumber))
PH.Delay(cLng(intDelayTime))
ph.insteon("EZ_FLORA_SPRINKLER",65,cInt(intEZFValveNumber))
What I want to know if a command exists to turn on a zone for 10 minutes. Without running a ph.delay(). I have created a web page to turn on and off zones manually when I need to. I have read in the forum that there is a max time default of 30 minutes. However, I would like to be able to set the length of time on my web page when I click the zone-on button. Any ideas?

Look into Timed Events They are in minutes and execute later. Also there is WAIT which is in minutes.

The maximum zone run time is 255 minutes. The 30 minute value is the default maximum. Each zone can be set to unique maximum time. The EZFlora Command document on the Simplehomenet web site shows the memory locations for the zone timers. They can be set with Set MSB/Peek/Poke commands before the zone is turned On. There is free download software, Simplehomenet Utility Suite, that can be used to set the EZFlora timer values if the default 30 minute value needs to be changed in a more static way.
There is no EZFlora command that says run zone for x amount of time.
These are the commands to set one Zone valve max time
ph_insteon("EZFLORA II",40,00)
ph_insteon("EZFLORA II",43,03) 03=Zone4; values 00-07
ph_insteon("EZFLORA II",41,10) 10=timer minutes

There is a way to do this using a complex macro and then calling the macro using ph_macroparm.
I created my master ezrain macro from code copied from this board. It now has three separate sub-routines, one of which is to open a specified valve and then (using the macro 'wait' command) leave it running for the amount of time passed in the macroparm variable.
So, in my system, I can turn on zone 3 for 20 minutes by running the following:
ph_macroparm("EZRAIN","VALVECTL",3,20,0,0)
It's not direct control, but it gets the result it sounds like you are looking for.
