OK, just seemed that if were making no change to the RL i.e. they are only controllers not responders (can an RLs ever be a responder?), they would not be involved in adding another controller (the 3rd KPL) to the scene. When my scene is even moderately large (6 devices are so) the link process takes forever, especially for the RLs

for example: Let's say I have a scene that is controlled by 2 different RL (each button A) and two different KPLs (each button A) and I want to add a 3rd KPL (say button A). Do I really need to go chasing my RLs down and set them to link mode? Can't I just add the new KPL to the scene?

Anyone know if SH supplies the Remotelinc plastic label covers, keep losing mine

Certainly no expert here, but the problem sounds vaguely familiar to my problem I had that when exiting the RL linking mode I pressed one of the key buttons, and this caused all sorts of problems. I was instructed to hit the "Dim" button on the RL to exit linking and it solved my problem. Hope that may help Joe

Perfect! Thanks. I had basically came to the same conclusion by trial and error, just was not sure that I was missing something more obvious. Thanks again Joe

sorry for my inexperience, but the only wayI see to turn off the KPL LED is to add the KPL button to a scene then turn off that scene at the end of the then path or the else path. Is that what you mean?

I naively thought when the program was done the KPL light would turn off. Now I have created a scene for the KPL button and in the program's else command I turn that scene off. Is that the best way?

well you say so, but I purchased TouchSwitch yesterday and have yet have not received any email with the program or instruction to download it, much less any coupon Joe

Thanks!

after this program executes the KPL on LED is still lit. How do I make sure it is in the off stage: This program is a 1HR Pool Pump" If Control '0A.2C.EE.1' is switched On Or Control 'KPL Pool Eq B' is switched On And Control 'KPL Pool Eq B' is not switched Off Then Run Program 'Pool on 2 HR KPL' (Else Path) Run Program 'Pool on 4 HR KPL' (Else Path) Run Program ' Pool Eq On KPL' (Else Path) Wait 2 seconds Send X10 'K16/On (3)' Wait 1 hour Run Program 'Pool on 1 HR KPL' (Else Path) Else Send X10 'K16/Off (11)'

Hi, I cannot find on the UDI site where to purchase this module. Rumored to be $4 for the TouchSwitch

If just using RL to control programs, would seem OK, but if wanted the advantage of the RL to control lights and do dim and brighten, it would be lost by using with programs I believe. Joe

Great, thanks! Implemented your suggestions and works great. Man, I keep learning the programming, but see the advantage of using the "Run Else" and your other suggestion. All is OK now, again, thanks Joe

This should not be this tough. I am trying to have two KPL button, B & D, that are listed as mutually exclusive turn on the pool pump for 1 hr or 2 hr respectively, but when I run the programs below by hitting Button B first then Button D, program B is still running If Control 'KPL Pool Eq B' is switched On And Control 'KPL Pool Eq B' is not switched Off Or Control 'KPL Pool Eq D' is not switched On Then Wait 2 seconds Send X10 'K16/On (3)' Wait 1 hour Send X10 'K16/Off (11)' Run Program 'Pool on 1 HR KPL' (Else Path) Else Send X10 'K16/Off (11)' If Control 'KPL Pool Eq D' is switched On And Control 'KPL Pool Eq D' is not switched Off Or Control 'KPL Pool Eq B' is not switched On Then Wait 2 seconds Send X10 'K16/On (3)' Wait 2 hours Send X10 'K16/Off (11)' Run Program 'Pool on 2 HR KPL' (Else Path) Else Send X10 'K16/Off (11)'

sorry, I do not understand "Program Test"

so thereis a selection calls "run else path"?. I will check when I get home. Thanks Joe

OK, so how do your write a program that executes (or does not execute) based on whether another program is running? I was using the "Status" but that seems useless Thx Joe

Thanks! Supose this KPL button was one of 4 buttons with similar programs (just different wait time) and they were all Mutually exclusive. If the first button was pressed ON and the second button was then pressed on, would the first program in button A stop?

After thinking further (as your program works fine) could you explain in more detail why you include the "And" line and the "Else" line. It should be simple but not totally clear to me If Control 'KPL Pool Eq B' is switched On And Control 'KPL Pool Eq B' is not switched Off Then Send X10 'K16/On (3)' Wait 1 hour Send X10 'K16/Off (11)' Else Send X10 'K16/Off (11)'

I do not think I understand the difference in the Program summary tab between these two condition. I have some programs that have completed so they are "Idle" under the Activity column, but still "True" under the Status column. I am confused because I want to write other programs that are contingent on the condition of another program running, but even though it is "Idle" the other program (because it says "True") apparently still thinks its running Please help Thx Joe

Thanks Sub-Routine As you describe it is exactly how I want it to work However, after the 1 hr the light on the KPL was still on (like the program was still active), but like I said I am having a few other things to debug so it may not be related. I just wanted to make sure I was not missing something obvious, like I needed to add something like "stop program after the 1hr" which of course did not make sense to me as the program would be over after 1 hr, just wanted to make sure I must have some other issue Thx Joe

I may be having a couple issues to debug, but let me simply ask. Should the program below turn the KPL LED off (ie program is off) after it finishes, that is after 1 hour? If Control 'KPL Pool Eq B' is switched On Then Send X10 'K16/On (3)' Wait 1 hour Send X10 'K16/Off (11)' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Sorry to even post here as this is not a problem I am having. Quite the contrary, I am ecstatic about discovering the "Mutually Exclusive" feature. These are great! Just what I was trying (unsuccessfully) to do by programs. Makes KPL control soooo much more effective. My best example was 4 different KPL buttons dedicated to four different (1Hr-4hr) run times on my pool filter motor, and mutually exclusive was perfect. Thanks guys at UD! Just what the doctor ordered, and just wanted you to know, that I for one just wanted you to know that you are appreciated! Joe

Is thereany Insteon temperature probes, with the idea to control the temperature of my Spa.

It was the Dimmer! You guys were right! Funny, ended up replacing it with same model and brand, but fixed the problem, must have been either old or they upgraded the electronics Thanks much! Joe
