  1. I also just replaced my PLM, and had a hiccup with my Morninglinc. Please recall that the Morninglinc has special security (since it controls entry to your home.) You must link the device MANUALLY by pressing the set button on the device. I successfully re-established the link by selecting "Start Linking" under "Link Management" with the option to "...keep existing links." then pressing and holding the button on the Morninglinc box for 5 seconds. It gave a message that the device was already there; but afterwards it was working fine. Hope this helps!
  2. Just had another thought. I added the "Night Mode" button as a responder to all the other scenes I want to turn off at night. This turns my "Night Mode" button On if anything else is on; so it normally is on when I press it at night.
  3. I am also running into a problem with a "Night Mode" "All Off" button, but may be able to help you with yours. You have set all your "On" levels to 0; but the devices still consider this as On (just really really dim). Turning your scene "On" should still set the device indicator on; but the load will be at a brightness of 0%. I found that changing the toggle mode in the ISY did not function properly; and ended up using the "tap programming" on the KPL itself to change it. There may be a bug here or one of those "jeez this should work but doesn't" issues with the KPL. My suggestion; try changing the toggle mode at the KPL and see if this fixes your problem. Is anyone else having trouble with KPL toggle modes? (My ISY running v3.3.3 and the KPL is v.2D)
  4. I implemented an "Emergency Button" that I think is worth sharing. I have two school age children that sometimes are home alone, but this idea has several applications. To use it, they simply press the button. To reset, they press it a second time. I wrote two simple programs called "Emergency" and "Emergency Clear" I use a KeyPadLinc-8 near the front door and will get a red button to activate it, both programs use "Status" is "On" to monitor the button in the 'if' area. I have placed both my wife's and my phone text message as recipients for notifications. The "Emergency" program 'then' area sends notification to all. The next line uses "Set Scene My Lighting On", turning on every light in the house. The 'else' area runs certain daily programs I have to restore "normal" settings (optional). The "Emergency Clear" program 'then' area turns an outside front door light fast on, waits a second, turns it fast off, then calls itself as a program. In other words, the last line is 'Run Program Emergency Clear". This causes the program to loop continuously, flashing the front door light, attracting the attention of emergency responders if they are needed. The 'else' area only sends notification to all. The messages received on the cell phone are pretty clear if the button is activated or reset. We can then take appropriate action to see what is going on. Hope you like the idea!
