The question was answered in the topic above. Thanks!

I've got everything working like it did with the old script (though much easier and seems to be faster and more reliable too).

For conditionals I'm using the plugin's Action Groups to modify a variable and then a trigger that acts on the variable. For instance, when I disarm the security system I want a group of lights to come on in the living room only if it is dark outside. This works now.

The other conditional is turning on a door light for 5 minutes only when it is dark AND the light is not already on (as it is part of the living room group). I created a plugin action group for Door_Closed and Door_Open that modify a variable (Front_Door_is_open) and then a trigger that evaluates whether the light is already on and whether it is dark before turning the light on for 5 minutes. This is for coming home late at night when I don't want to turn on a bunch of lights but want just a quick light for a few minutes.

Only thing I'm missing is a simple way to use the Insteon motion sensors to report when no motion has been detected for x hours and then send an All Lights off command in case some lights were inadvertently left on or the alarm was not set when we left the house (which turns off all lights).

Ben,

I've been using Switchboard to provide device support for security sensors via the X10 Monitored Device. But I don't like the Monitored Device Group implementation. I'd rather use the Group Trigger plug-in. Unfortunately, the X10 Monitored Devices do not implement the "onOffState" so the Group Trigger plugin doesn't recognize them. I've already modified your plug-in to use onOffState (as well as your existing onState). Would you be willing to make this change as well or should I continue to run a forked version?

Bob,

Somehow I missed this message.

Take a look at 0.56, and if it is still not supporting what you need then please contact me via email at Benjamin AT schollnick DOT net. I will be happy to discuss the changes with you...

But I would certainly prefer to look into somehow either adding the functionality you need, or making the monitored device groups easier for you to use....
