Blackbird, What you have in your program is to adjust the backlight level of the Kpl, meaning how bright the light is. You cannot turn on a Kpl light directly. What you need to do is to create a scene "Kpl parking pad button" and add the Kpl button to the scene as a responder. In your program, Then: Set scene "Kpl parking pad button" on. I would add else: Set scene "Kpl parking pad button" off. However I think we need to evaluate your set up with the motion sensor. How does the motion sensor turn on the light, by scene control or by a program. If the motion sensor, switch, and Kpl button are included in a scene as controllers then activation of the motion sensor should turn on the light and the Kpl button. If this is not happening then there may be a communication problem. Regarding the all on issue, I am not sure they know what causes this although Michel did post in response to my inquiry regarding my one all on event that there is an issue with the motion sensor, a program or scene, and a Kpl button. I would have to check the all on thread for his exact response. Eric

Roomie remote works well with the isy. If you are creative you can design good looking custom remotes. Roomie only works while on wifi, and I am not sure you could get it to control anything if you are not on your home network.

Hijacking thread. Pheobe Cates was in Gremlins. End thread.

I think you just can't feed them after midnight. From imdb: What are the rules of taking care of a mogwai? There are three rules: (1) no bright light, (2) don't get him wet, and (3) never feed him after midnight, no matter how much he begs. Bright light hurts him, and sunlight can kill him. If he gets wet, he pops out more mogwais. If fed after midnight, a mogwai will spin a cocoon and undergo metamorphosis, turning into a wicked, troublemaking gremlin.

Welcome, Watch this tutorial video: Use a scene rather than the programs, will work faster. You will get great help in this forum. E

Yeah, that is frustrating. I would just use a program to correct this. Several options. I think you can make a scene with both switches as responders, on level of 100% If device a is switched fast on Or device b is switched fast on Then Wait 2 seconds (to allow traffic to clear) set scene both switches 100% on. Or create a separate scene for each switch with two programs, one for each fast on. E

I am still using the original programs, Thank you again so much for them. I received a problem notification and checked the battery on our powder room leak sensor and it was dead. new battery, device restore and back in business. Eric

I would not change the behavior of the Kpl buttons as far as the toggle mode. I like the way you have it, press the button and the light flashes, Kpl button off. Then my program, the opposite of Lees will turn the button on to indicate the door is open. 6 of one 1/2 dozen of the other.

I had the same issue and purchased the three wire sensor, works better. I think you can do this: Create a scene with just the Kpl button as a responder, garage door Kpl button Write a program: If garage door sensor is not on (off) Then set scene garage door Kpl button on. I think you can make the else: Set scene garage door Kpl button off. You may need a wait of a few seconds as the first line of the then to allow insteon traffics from a Kpl button press to clear. Discuss.

I have had one all on event recently after adding a motion sensor to my system. The motion sensor turns on the laundry room lights which are controlled by a 6 button kpl. Michel posted that this is/may be related to a program or scene triggered by the load button of a kpl controlling a secondary button on the same Kpl. I thought these events were typically related to garage door control which I do not have (just an io linc sensor to tell me if the door is not closed). Fortunately I have not had a repeat of this. My plm is more than a year old so not the latest version. We are all interested in solving this issue or at least figuring out the cause.

When the ms triggers and the time is out of range, the program is false. Seems strange that you have motion used to trigger some things off, but not sure what you are trying to accomplish.

Or print button labels on Avery clear labels, I don't remember the font off hand. Remove the print from the buttons included with the Kpl using nail polish remover. Tape the label to the button. Cover with scotch tape to protect it. I only did this for two buttons until my custom buttons arrived, which did not match well. My "ghetto buttons" looked better because of the color match so I may switch back. There is a recent thread where someone used photo paper for their button inserts. Edit for link: http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/15043-wiring-a-load-to-be-permanently-on/

Xactly.

Rather than a micro module I would replace the switch with a Kpl.

I had written a post, that didn't post. One more thought. If the button is on to show the sensor status and you press the button to do what you want, then the button will turn off an not reflect the status of the sensor. If the button is already off then no problem. I am having trouble writing a program for this given that the sensor is a battery device. I think this could easily be done with a state variable for the sensor.

A couple of ways. Create a scene "Kpl button" and add the Kpl button to the scene as a responder only. Write a program: If control Kpl button is on Then wait 2seconds Set scene "Kpl button" off. The purpose of the wait is to allow traffic from the Kpl button to clear. Or You can set the button to non toggle off mode. Although depending upon your keypad, this may not work. Write a program: If control Kpl button is off. Then do whatever you want the button to do. (Set a scene on or off) If the non toggle off is working properly then when you press it it should flash then turn off on its own.

Why do you want to dim landscape lights? Obviously personal preference, but these should be on or off. Which buttons on the keypad controlled the landscape lights? Keypads can control a load with the A button on the 8 button Kpl or the on/off buttons on the 6 button Kpl. The other buttons are secondary buttons that can be linked to control devices with scenes. Newer devices are not compatible with the isy99. It has been posted that a discount is offered on upgrading to the 994 by UD. When you are replacing a device use the replace with function. E

I know you wrote that the transformer is compatible with a dimmer, but I would not use a dimmer. Maybe that is why the dimmer went bad. Where are you going to place the switch? Is the power supply to the transformer from a plug into an outlet. If so you could use an appliance linc instead.

I do just this for a few scenes. I always want to be able to press the button and turn the scene on. I would put the button in non toggle on mode and use it as a controller of the scene. Create a scene "kpl button" Then use a program If control button is on or Status button is on Then set scene "kpl button" off

Fahrvergnuugen, Here are my thoughts on this. I rarely use a phone or tablet to control my lights. When I do it is typically thru roomie remote which integrates very well with the isy. A theater on button turns on my gear and sets the lights to specific levels. Watching a DVD/BD and hit the break button, the movie pauses and the main lights come up. Roomie also has the ability to run a program so when I turn the system off the lights turn off on a delay. If I had a nice clean app like yours I might use it from time to time. I sometimes access the isy directly with an ios device. What I have found is for lights that are on a dimmer, I never adjust them manually, usually just on to a certain level and off. Almost all of my devices are part of at least one scene. I do have the lights for our stairs on a dimmer. We never touch the switch or Kpl button that controls the light. The light does change among three brightness levels during the day. In the playroom the lights turn on to 100% or a dim button on a Kpl brings them down to 20%. In the movie room I have scene 1 and scene 2 with different brightness levels for the ceiling lights. Where I am going with this is that it would be nice to have the slider for your scene, but that just does seem like it is going to work. I would suggest creating multiple scenes with the same scene members, each with the on levels you want. 2 scenes would probably be enough or maybe you would need 3. Dining 100%, dining 50%, dining intimate, or whatever you wish to name them. If you find that you want a light full on in the evening, 50% in the morning, then consider using an adjust scene program. You would have buttons rather than sliders but I think things would function very well. Eric

You set everything up properly. However, When you are using the admin console to adjust a single device, only that device is controlled. For example you are controlling the master switch and only the master switch only. If you turn off only the master switch the slave switch does not and should not respond to this. This is why you have a scene. If you want to control more than one device, use the scene. If you go to your physical switches, are you seeing the behavior you want.

Bcsh, You can make this as complicated or simple as you want. Here is a scenario which may or may not come into play for you. If not then ignore the rambling. We have the shower fan controlled by a switch linc and a Kpl button on my and my wife's bathroom Kpl. The fan is set to run on for 45 minutes, I think, with a program just like stu provided above. The flaw in my system is that if the fan is still on after one of us showers and then the other goes to shower you have to turn off the fan with the Kpl then turn it back on to reset the timer. (Irealize I could use a variable and each time the button is pressed add more time.) You have two buttons to control the fan so more flexibility. You could set this up so that if A or B is running and you press the other button, the button that was running turns off and it's program is cancelled. The newly pressed buttons program then runs. Say you hit A, but realize you really need 45 minutes. Well you could just turn A off, then hit B. But that is two button presses. Or you could set this up to just hit B, which could be set to turn off the A button, turn off the A program, run program B. Stu could help better with the programming, but I think you would need to add to the If: and control 'keypad B' is not on, which would make that program false. You would also need a separate scene with just the A button as a responder. Set that scene off in the then part of the B program. Eric

Do what Michel suggested. Your 4th picture shows your dining room scene. You have highlighted the scene name so the response levels shown in the right window are for when the scene is triggered by the isy itself. You have to click on the two red controllers, master and slave, to set the responder levels for when they trigger the scene. You can set the responder levels for the isy and the click each controller and click the copy attributes box if you want the same response levels. E
