Don’t know if anyone one can help,

 

 

I have a trigger and action set up to close all doors at a set time in the evening and open them again in the mourning, and have another trigger from a IO device that closes them on demand, the problem I have is when it get the the open time in the morning this overrides the IO trigger, when I have still need them closed, does anyone know how to fix this,

 

Thanks in advance

Are you using a "When timezone is active" trigger, for the close/open?

 

I'm not sure anything will stop that from happening, other than making the timezone not active.

 

Is this for a holiday/school closed thing? If so, add Custom Days into Paxton then set your holidays or different days so that they have different (or non-existent times) on your Timezone.

I’m using the “at a specific time” event, it’s to lock a exterior door overnight and the IO is for allowing adhoc locking thru out the day,

Ok, I would probably change it to use a Timezone anyway - then the exterior door will never unlock on a Bank Holiday or school holiday for example.

 

(In fact thinking about it, why aren't you using "Unlock the door during:" within the doors own settings? You could also tick the "Don't unlock until I arrive" option - we use this for our car park barriers which are padlocked shut overnight)

 

I don't think Paxton can put any conditions on "don't unlock the door if I've locked it early with the IO button".

 

What you could consider doing is wiring the door through both relays, 1 and 2.

 

Have the IO board control relay2, so that if relay 2 is open there's no way the timer event (which opens relay 1 only) can unlock the door as relay 2 is still shut.

 

If you have a Paxton reader on the door, set it to open both relay 1 and 2.
