Hi Guys; I just simplified the program to this. Ktichen Dim Off - [iD 0008][Parent 0001] If Control 'Kitchen Sink' is switched Off Then Set Scene 'Kitchen Dim' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') It doesn't take into account if anything is true or false, it just shuts off the three kitchen lights regardless of state. Probably not the best fix but it'll do until I can figure out why such a simple program didn't work. Drew

Hi Stu; I tried this and the LED responds perfectly when triggered by the Admin console Drew

Hi Larry; I tried your idea of Status >= 1% I went upstairs and pressed my KPL G to turn on the scene, went downstairs and shut off all the lights. When I came back upstairs the LED was still lit. ​This seems like a simple program. I don't understand why it doesn't work. I have a problem getting the KPL LED to correctly reflect the status of a device. for instance, when I turn on the KPL G button it turns on the lamps downstairs. I also have those lamps to be triggered by a KPL button downstairs (separate KPL than the one we're discussing) ​When I went downstairs to shut everything else off the KPL LED wasn't lit. I have to press the KPL to 'turn on' the lamps that are already on to shut them off. Drew

99% of the KPL buttons are in the usual factory setting (on/off) I have two KPL buttons that are in non toggle off but they aren't part of the issues here. I have a program like that but it seems to not be 100% accurate. Basement G Off - [iD 0009][Parent 0001] If Status 'Andrew's Office-Office' is not Off Or Status 'Basement Hall' is not Off Or Status 'Basement KPL-Living Room' is not Off Or Status 'Lamp Left' is not Off Or Status 'Lamp Right' is not Off Or Status 'Rocking Chair Lamp' is not Off Or Status 'Theatre Room' is not Off Or Status 'Turtle' is not Off Then Set Scene 'Basement LED' On Else Set Scene 'Basement LED' Off Sometimes the LED is lit even though no lights are on. (the KPL button that stays lit is also the KPL button that triggers the basement scene) To be clearer, One KPL button when turned on turns on three lights in the basement. When its turned off it shuts off all basement lights regardless if they were in the scene. It usually accomplishes this but the LED on the KPL button is sometimes left lit. I wonder if its because of slow ramp rates on the lights?

What about when I can't add the KPL to the scene? (If the KPL is in the scene it tells me I can't add it as its already in the scene) For example, I have a program like this If Light A is on, wait 4 minutes then shut light A off Light A is controlled by a KPL button (not the load) When the light goes out (when the timer runs down) the KPL LED is still lit. I have this issue in a few situations in my set up. If a scene or program turns on lights that are controlled by KPL buttons (again, not load) when the light goes off the LED is still on. I'd love to have a surefire way to have the KPL LEDs reflect the status of a scene or the status of a light. If the light is on, LED is on. If the light is OFF,, LED is off.

When I execute the OFF from the run>then path it shuts off correctly. I do note that sometimes there are conditions that don't let the program (ON program) run properly. If all the lights are off the program doesn't run. Or turn on only one of the three lights. I sometimes have to turn on another light in the scene to get the ON program to execute properly. Is this line noise (please say no) or is it a loop in my program because I have the same trigger for both programs? Should I have the OFF program be If light A is not off or light B is not off or light C is not off and kitchen sink is switched off then Shut scene ABC off

I have this program Kitchen Dim - [iD 000B][Parent 0001] If Status 'Kitchen Sink' is Off And Control 'Kitchen Sink' is switched Off Then Set Scene 'Kitchen Dim' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Works great. Ktichen Dim Off - [iD 0008][Parent 0001] If Program 'Kitchen Dim' is True And Control 'Kitchen Sink' is switched Off Then Set Scene 'Kitchen Dim' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') This doesn't seem to do what I want (which is to shut the three lights off in the above program) I'm not sure where I went wrong Drew

Maybe the best solution is putting PLAY and PAUSE 'buttons' on the screen of the Harmony and just pressing the appropriate one when I press the play or pause button. Thanks for the help. I'll keep poking around to see if I can find a solution but I won't lose sleep over it. Drew

I've tried learning the play and pause codes to the ISY by pointing my Harmony at the ISY and pressing the buttons. I've also tried making the Play and Pause actual screen buttons as opposed to the hard Play and Pause. I can't get the ISY to recognize either of these. If I press the Mute button it tells me its the treble. If I press the mute again it says its volume or something like that. This lets me know the ISY is receiving if not recognizing signals. I downloaded the Philips IR codes zip files but have no clue what I could do with that. (I was really hoping for a PLAY code and drag and drop but that probably wishful at this point) Any thoughts what I'm doing wrong? Drew

I think this is exactly what I'm hoping for. My next question is how do I teach the ISY to recognize those codes? Drew

I have an IR set up that lets me keep all my AV gear in a media Closet. I have IR receivers in the tv rooms and IR blasters hooked up to everything in the closet. Including the ISY994i/IR (If you're asking about the set up because you want to do this yourself I can go into more detail) If you have an idea how to program Let me know Drew

Hi Guys; I know I can add scenes into a sub menu on the Harmony remote but I have to push many buttons on it to get to the scene to trigger it. I'm wondering if I can press play on the harmony and have a scene trigger. And press pause and have a different scene trigger. Clearly not a must have but pretty cool if its possible. Drew

I've switched the network cables a few times. No luck. I can check to see if theres any physical issue in the serial port itself. I've sent a tech request. I hope to get this issue resolved this week. Thank you everyone who posted possible fixes. Any last minute cures are still welcome. Drew

Still no improvement. I understand everything points to a faulty PLM but again this is three in a month. No power surges or any disruptions. The GUI is still slow to load. RX is still on solid. Aside from sending another PLM back and starting again with another one I don't know where to look.

I've plugged the PLM into a few different spots with no success I do notice the power and RX ISY LEDs are constantly lit Could it be there's something wrong with my ISY? It also takes quite a while for the ISY GUI to pop up. The splash screen is there but hangs for about a minute. When the GUI does come up it's very slow and laggy, often not responding to any clicks then clicking through all previous clicks (I hope that makes sense) Anybody have any other guesses?

Yes. I can plug the PLM into different outlets around the house and see if that works. When I unplug the PLM should then unplug the ISY and then plug in the PLM wait then plug in the ISY?

Including the original PLM I believed was failing this makes three PLMs that are faulty. Can it be something else besides the PLMs? It seems I can't have three bad PLMs

All LEDs are bright. Is there something I can do to make sure this works or not before I send this one back and wait for another possible bum PLM? Drew

Does that mean the PLM is working? All PLMs have had the green LED lit

Yes, for both PLMs

So... I got Amazon.ca to return the first PLM which was out of their return window but they were gracious enough to do so. I'm going to return the second either today or monday. Before I do, we're positive I'm being sent bad PLMs, correct? Drew

I just switch out the cable. Still the same result I'm hoping I didn't buy another PLM when I didn't have to. Any help would be greatly appreciated Drew As an aside I don't have the option to Automatically upgrade ISY under Help. Cant seem to manually upgrade it either. Drew

Hi Michel; This is the second brand new PLM this month. It can't be dead. There must be something else. Could it be a faulty network cable?

One of the error messages is "Could Not Open File [/CONF/INSTENG.OPT] I'm assuming that's because the ISY was reset?

I just plugged my PLM in in the exact order that was marked out. I reset the ISY but now am getting the same error messages. PLM Info/Status 000.0V Not connected I can't 'Start Linking" (nothing pops up) Do I Restore Modem? Please help.
