ifttt program problem - athxp - 11-28-2020
Hi,
I have installed COL + H32L module to automate home.
however i have problems programming COL, as i cannot get the output on relay 30 when digital input 2 is active.
I see input 2 active, but out 30 never works.
RE: ifttt program problem - admin - 11-29-2020
Do you want trigger input2 for relay30 output "ON"?
But I see your config relay 30 is set to "OFF" ?
RE: ifttt program problem - athxp - 11-29-2020
I set it to "close" because I need the relay contact 30 to close
ok, maybe i solved. I got the programming logic wrong:
"set relay open" is intended as a command of the output, not of the contact.
if = in01 - edgeP - hold time 5s.
then = relay out type - ch30 - set the relay OPEN
this is how it works, however once in01 returns to 0 the relay continues to remain energized, so:
if = in01 - edgeN - hold time 5s.
then = relay out type - ch30 - set the relay CLOSE

ok, any questions you can leave message, we will help you.
if you want relay on and have a delay time then auto off, you can add "delay" and "OFF" command to "THEN".

thanks!
yes, I still wanted to ask for some information on programming. just to understand the logic of operation.
I would need to check a heating circulator every day at certain times: from 7 to 9, then from 13 to 15 and finally from 18 to 20
RE: ifttt program problem - admin - 12-04-2020
if you add a IFTTT command like IF (time=7:00AM) every day and (input sensor is xxxx) THEN relay do some actions (such as alarm).

Hi everybody who has problems with programming logical functions.
Here in Kincony existing system error in logical presentation's;
Close is OFF (Logical False)
Open is ON (Logical True)
This logic used in valve pipe systems, Close valve mean water not flaw, Open valve mean water can flaw.
---------------
In Relay's / switch technology logic is opposite:
Close mean (Contact closed and current flaw) (Logical True)
Open mean (Contact opened and current not flaw) (Logical False)
This logical should be accepted in Kincony systems and software.
I am not sure how and why use oposit logic. It confused almost all who use this.
---------------------------
It is reason you stay confused in logic. I suggest in Kincony consider this.

Now the IFTTT action OPEN means relay ON; CLOSE means relay OFF. because relay maybe will connect to any device, maybe valve , maybe lamp, maybe motor. so the OPEN and CLOSE is for relay define.

Thanks for your fast respond. I am long time in PLC technology and maybe it is my school. I will carefully check IFTTT in some books.
But like tell again switch logics is different than pipe/valve logic what is not subject here. You are maybe in wrong regarding you explain relays contacts.
When define Relay is ON (Closed) mean relay is energized; coil get voltage, if OFF (Open) relay coli is no voltage.
Relay contacts are quite different as you know. It is as usual NO - Com - NC. With this contacts we control what ever, valves, heating, lights....
In any case I am confused, I seen other guy too.
In any case maybe decades logical experience maybe now changed by IFTTT, what should be so cool.
After check this will back here.
RE: ifttt program problem - admin - 12-18-2020
I think we can change the action OPEN/CLOSE by relay ON/OFF, that will be easy to understand, not use OPEN/CLOSE words.
