Maybe this is coming from programming background, but is there a way to have an IF statement execute multiple commands/steps?

For Example:
If (a=1,{
command 1
command 2
command 3},{
command 1 if false
command 2 if false}
)

I know in PH, the curly brace I used above is for Global Variables. What I'm wanting to do is update the other controllers and keypad buttons when a device is changed programatically, without having to use up a bunch of groups. I can issue the groupcu command to update the button state or the insteon command to update a controlling switchlinc status, but not both.

Thanks!

I haven't tried it but I bet you can string formula together with +.

Code:
if(a=1,ph_insteongroupcu("Kitchen","Sink",19) + ph_insteongroupcu("Kitchen","Table",19), ph_insteongroupcu("Kitchen","Sink",17) + ph_insteongroupcu("Kitchen","Table",17))


Let me know the results.

Yup. Just use a '+'...

Code:
if ( {condition}, {thing1} + {thing2}, {thingA} + {thingB} )
