New to ISY and Insteon but a long time computer expert and have been generally figuring things out as I go with my installation. However I have one problem that no amount of searching has turned up an answer for - sorry if I just missed it.
I installed the current garage door opener kit and want to reflect door status on a KPL with light on if the door is open. The current kit does not give the option of reversing the sensing at the magnetic reed switch which is seems the normal approach suggested. Also, setting reverse triggering for the sensor seems to do nothing for me. In fact, the check mark is gone the next time I look at that dialog box. So I decided to solve the problem with a scene that has the kpl led as a responder and then set that scene on/off with a program that responds to the GD sensor correctly. That all works fine. Now the problem. I also use MobiLinc from my iPhone and displayu the status scene there so I can see if the door is open from elsewhere. Unfortunately, ML is quite happy to allow me to turn the scene on/off from my iPhone which then renders the indication of door open/closed in valid until my program next runs which happens when the sensor status next changes. So I can only a reliable indication if I force the status program to run which I can do but is rather inelegant. For the moment I have a program that forces the query of the door status every few minutes which gets things back to correct in case you inadverently touch the wrong spot on the MobiLink screen. What I'd rather do would be make it impossible to change that scene from ML but that doesn't seem possible, or trigger a program on the ISY whenever that scene changes state (then I could make sure the state change is legit) but it doesn't seem possible to have a scene cause a program to run. I think I am missing a simpler approach here. Any thoughts?
Thanks from a newbie.
