Hi Jay,
I opened up the Variable List window, and it does show that when I tell Touch to change the variable from “true” to “false” in actions, it does. Now I have no idea of what is going wrong.
Just to remind you, all I am trying to do is have Indigo Touch on the iphone, be able to do the exact same thing as what the Remotelinc does when I press OFF button #6
The setup is as follows. About 4 years ago I added security cameras and an alarm siren to my Indigo setup. You and Matt helped me get it working back then, and it’s worked flawlessly every since. Here is what happens when I leave the house and press the Remotelinc button On #6 to set the alarm:
** The “Front Porch Door” sensor does not do anything except announce when screened in porch door is open or closed. When it is open, it turns on the porch light. The screened in Front Porch Door is different location than the actual House Door. This may be confusing because the problem we are working with involves the “House Door Switch” sensor, which DOES involve this current problem**

Output-1 is for the announcer that says “alarm ON” after a 60 sec delay when leaving.
Output-2 is for the announcer that says “alarm OFF” when I return home (within 60 sec delay)
Output-3 is for the alarm siren (EZI/O40 sends signal to Elk-120 connected to Elk-70 siren)
Where it says SecurityCam-PTZ and SecurityCam-P on, they are Appliance Lincs that just turn the power on or off to the security cameras.
As you can probably see, when I leave and press the ON button #6 on Remotelinc, it runs the Action Group named “Arm-Away action group” that turns on scene/group 1, which has the following lines:
send scene 1 (Arm-Away) on *(turns on applicance lincs to power security cameras)
set variable alarmArmed to true
execute linked script file “TurnONsecurityspyScript.scpt”
turn on “EZI/O40 Linc Contact” output 1 *(announces alarm ON)
turn off “EZI/O40 Linc Contact” output 1
execute linked script file “CamSetActiveScript.scpt”
Now, when I return home, it basically turns OFF the Arm-Away action group, shutting off the applicance lincs for security cameras, and changes the “alarmArmed” variable to “false”.
When I open the house door, the Insteon Door wireless sensor sends a signal to Indigo, if “alarmArmed” variable is “true” Indigo then sends the EZI/O40 output-3 to sound the alarm siren (after 60 sec delay). If the Door sensor opens and the “alarmArmed” variable is “false”, then Indigo does NOT send the EZI/O40 output-3 signal, and the siren does NOT go off. This is GOOD.
As I previously wrote to you, the problem I am having is that no matter how I try, I simply can NOT get this to work the same way in Indigo Touch. I have it setup so that I can use Touch to set the alarm when I leave, just like it does when pressing Remotelinc ON button #6. But, if I try to have Touch turn this OFF, it says it is turning off, with the signal output-2 going to the announcer, and from what it shows, the alarmArmed variable is being changed from “true” to “false”, but for some reason, the output-3 is still being sent, which sounds the Siren? I don’t understand because if the variable is seen as “false”, then output-3 should not be sent by Indigo?
Just to show you, here is what happens when I have Indigo Touch try to do the same things as OFF button #6 on the Remotelinc:
