Ticket submitted along with login information. Have fun!

You responded just as I was editing my post, having noted that my Everything scene had omitted the buttons in question.

The ISY is about a week old, I upgraded it to 2.7.6 before I did much setup. The KPLs mostly report v.36. Perhaps you should log in to my system? Tell me how to send you the log in information.

Yes, I do mean the Action in the Then part, and my KPLs are properly recognized as 2486D units, but they don't have the 1-99% in the dropdown, just the 100% and 0%. My other dimmers do, however, have 0, 1, 2, ... 100% dropdowns. In a Scene I am allowed to set the KPLs on level, but not in the Action after Then. If it matters I am on a Mac.

In the Main Admin Console display, the KPL B-H buttons show status but cannot be set - even though we all know that they certainly can be set by follow programming - so why not have the main set function work by doing that?

Okay, I see that I can create a scene that sets the desired level of the KPL load and call that as the action. But???? What a kludge?

I'm still digging through documentation and forums, so I'm sure this is explained somewhere, but: why can't I set the level of the KPL load in an action? I can set a standalone dimmer level, but the only choices for the KPL load are "On" and "Off"? Is this a limitation in the commands available to send to a KPL? Is there a workaround? Thanks

From the Houslin2 online manual: Presumably you can try this and run a trace on the packets used. It sure is a lot easier than having to take down the unit to press the button! Also, note that Houselinc can auto-find wireless devices, not requiring that you type in the device address as ISY does. Thanks!

Note that I said "..whenever the 2420 is active, for example due to motion..". I understand that it cannot communicate if it is asleep, but I have tried to set the setting when it is active due to motion and it fails - but I can set it if and only if I use the white button to put it into linking mode. By the way, this is consistent with the warning you give "click and hold the set button for five seconds".

It seems that with Houselinc2 whenever the 2420 is "active", for example due to motion, Houselinc can communicate with it for any needed settings. However, with ISY you can only communicate when the white button has been held down. Of course this is a real PIA if you have the sensor mounted up on the wall and you want to change its links or timeout or LED brightness. Am I missing something or is this a real negative between Houselinc2/ISY?
