So, I have been trying to program a few scenes for the last few years and constantly get stuck where I have to write overly complex programs that pick and choose when to work completely. I was hoping firmware 5.X would solve this, and kinda does, but not completely. In brief, I am trying to make a scene light up if an object in the scene is on, but not the whole scene, thus allowing me to see on a keypad that something in that scene is on without activating the rest of the devices in the scene. Below is my shortened scenario:
Equipment:
(2) 6 Key Insteon switches. - (FD) Front Door and (KT) Kitchen (Example Below)
(2) On/Off Insteon Dimmers. (HH) Kitchen Hi-Hats and (PD) Pendant Dining
FD and KT
HHPD ON
HH ON/OFF
PD On/OFF
Blank
Blank
HH+PD OFF
Current Scenario:
1. Press HHPD ON and both HH and PD turn on as well as Scene HHPD (Example Below)
HHPD ON
HH ON/OFF
PD On/OFF
Blank
Blank
HHPD OFF
2. If I turn off both HH and PD manually then HHPD stays on even though all lights in that scene are off. (Example Below)
HHPD ON
HH ON/OFF
PD On/OFF
Blank
Blank
HH+PD OFF
3. If I turn on just HH when everything is already off then HH is on but HHPD stays off. (Example Below)
HHPD ON
HH ON/OFF
PD On/OFF
Blank
Blank
HHPD OFF
Ideal Scenario:
1. Press HHPD ON and both HH and PD turn on as well as Scene HHPD (Example Below)
HHPD ON
HH ON/OFF
PD On/OFF
Blank
Blank
HHPD OFF
2. If I turn ON HH then HHPD should light up, but not activate the scene HHPD(thus not turning on PD). (Example below)
HHPD ON
HH ON/OFF
PD On/OFF
Blank
Blank
HHPD OFF
3. If HH and PD are on and I turn of PD then HHPD should remain lit up, but not activate/deactivate the scene HHPD. (Example below)
HHPD ON
HH ON/OFF
PD On/OFF
Blank
Blank
HHPD OFF
4. If I turn Off HH and no other device that HHPD controls is on, then HHPD's light should turn off without me pressing HHPD off. (Example below)
HHPD ON
HH ON/OFF
PD On/OFF
Blank
Blank
HHPD OFF
I am not sure if this is a limitation of insteon or if there is a better way to attack this with programming (which I have tried a lot of ways). I am happy to export my whole homes programming if anyone is curious to what I have done so far. It is quite more complex then just the example.
Thank you in advanced for any help that comes my way.
