Dhiaa, Looking back at your line defintions, I see that you have multiple lines going between the same buses. For example: New "Line.l6" bus1=node6 bus2=node7 phases=3 ... New "Line.rcl_6to7" phases=3 bus1=node6.1.2.3 bus2=node7.1.2.3 ... Anything downstream will still be connected through Line.l6 even if Line.rcl_6to7 is open. You will need to create a new bus and change the bus1=/bus2= assignments to corespond, if you want Line.l6 and Line.rcl_6to7 to be in series. My recomendation would be two...

Dhiaa, As stated above you will NOT receive any status information on switch1-switch5 because the line objects are set to enabled=Falseand not enabled=True in the line definitions. Take switch1 for example: New "Line.l33" ... Switch=True enabled=False Compare that to the line object definitions for the reclosers which are returning a status through the function call. Take rcl_2to19 for example: New "Line.rcl_2to19" ... Switch=True enabled=True I am not sure what you mean by: The result is always...

The colors can be confusing at first. In OpenDSS-G v2: red=closed and green=open. This follows more traditional colors from HMI screens in transmission/distribution control centers. I belive one of the original ideas behind the colors was: red means danger, i.e. the device is energized, and green means safe, i.e. the device is deenergized. For the results, a "0" means the switch (a recloser in this case) is open. If you are still having problems, please post a few of your line and control definitions...

Dhiaa, Currently, the command ODGTCP.getSwitchesStatus() will return a list of first the status if all enabled switches and then there names. (In a future release it will return a nested list, with the first list containing the statuses and the second list the names.) It appears that the function is returning the status of five switches, all open, and then their names. The other five switches that are not appearing in the list may be disabled. Something similar to this in the DSS line definition:...

Steve, You can still use pip with Anaconda. You just need to open an Anaconda command prompt, it's just called Anaconda Prompt on my machine, and run the command: pip install dss-python. I just tried it and it installed without any issues. If you want to uninstall the package, just replace install with uninstall.
