I'm not sure where to find the logfile. I have enabled level logging under properties and it shows the command to turn the pump on was sent but it never came on.

I have an Intermatic CA3750 to turn my pool pump on and off. This has worked flawlessly for the past year, but today Incontrol cannot communicate with the switch. I have excluded the switch and then included again. Incontrol sees the switch but will not control the switch. Does anybody have any suggestions?


Do you have anything in your logfile.txt showing any failed messages?

It's found in the folder where you have InControl installed. Here's some more info.

Here is the logfile...

11/2/2014 5:00:00 AM: SceneTrigger Pool On: Scheduled event reached at Sunday, November 02, 2014 5:00 AM. Running script activateScene.cs.
11/2/2014 5:00:00 AM: SceneTrigger Pool On: Scheduled timer for Monday, November 03, 2014 5:00 AM .

Does not look like there is any error messages. I actually installed the switch back during the spring. This is the coldest its been since that time. We've had a couple of freezes the last couple of mornings. I'm not sure if the cold weather could have something to do with it, maybe a faulty switch or a software bug.

I was just able to turn the pump on by clicking the power button in INcotrol but know it's not responding when trying to turn it off.

I think I have figured out my problem is in the switch. It seems to be temperature sensitive. When the temp is below 50 degrees it is very hard to trigger the device.

Is there a way to program the scene to keep firing until the switch comes on?
