IF statement not working - EST - 03-28-2017

I have done If System::Equals many times before but I am stumped on why this will not run.

Simply, I have a triggered event off my phone when connected to my network to fire a tasker task via the autoremote function. ┬á

BUT

If System::Equals(NetworkMonitor.EricPhone, True, No Case)

┬á ┬áDo global action stuff for tasker if connected to home network

Else

┬á Do global action stuff if phone not connected to home network.

End

This does not work...Phone is connected to network and field is True but it skips the If True section and goes to the Else line. ┬áI then added and If False statement to the Else line to see if the False would fire...nope.

Here is the full code:
If┬á
System::Equals
┬á ┬á P1=NetworkMonitor.EricPhone
┬á ┬á P2=True
┬á ┬á P3=No Case

System: Big Grin

oGlobalAct
┬á ┬á P1=/User/Misc/SendARMsgYps
┬á ┬á P2="recloopvar","run"

System::WaitTimer
┬á ┬á P1=0
┬á ┬á P2=5000

System: Big Grin

oGlobalAct
┬á ┬á P1=/User/Misc/SendARMsgYps
┬á ┬á P2="recloop","on"

Else

If┬á
System::Equals
┬á ┬á P1=VarDrvr.Text
┬á ┬á P2=False
┬á ┬á P3=No Case

System: Big Grin

oGlobalAct
┬á ┬á P1=/User/Misc/SendARMsgYps
┬á ┬á P2="recloopvar","stop"

Else

End

End

Running version 5.07. ┬á

Thoughts?

It's this:

Code:
If System::Equals(NetworkMonitor.EricPhone, True, No Case)

You are literally comparing the name of the field to True. You need to do this:

Code:
If System::Equals($(NetworkMonitor.EricPhone), True, No Case)

That will resolve to the actual value of the field. Where possible using the action testing dialog, which will show you the actual fleshed out results of the action. You would have seen it comparing "NetworkMonitor.EricPhone" and "True" in that If statement.

Also, use the helper button or the action parameter popup menu to select fields. It will give you the option to insert the name or a reference to the name, which makes it quick and easy to do.
