Keypad Linc

[Jashanahan]

I am new to this forum.

 

I simply want one of the keypadlinc buttons upstairs to shut off lights in the basement (controlled locally via 3 Switchlinc dimmers that each control overhead can lights). I would also like the same keypad button to light up when any of the three lights is the basement is on (at any level above 0%). Therefore I know when any of the lights are on in the basement. The keypadlinc button does not need to provide any light "on" features...just off.

 

Can someone help with this configuration...once I master this I believe I will be off and running with future programs.

 

Should I set up the keypadlink button scene directly from the kepad linc (locally) or through the isy?

 

Thank you

Always use the ISY interface to do anything.

Any manual links made with set buttons will not be known by your controller and eventually will be overwritten or corrupted as it didn't know about the links.

Thank you. I someone could post a program sample to achieve the above it would be much appreciated. Lets say downstairs switches are SW1 SW2 SW3. And Keylink button is KL1.

This Program turns KeypadLinc button H Off when all three SwitchLincs are Off. If any of the SwitchLincs are not Off KeypadLinc button H is turned On. The Program is using a Scene to turn KeypadLinc button H On and Off as Secondary KeypadLinc buttons cannot be controlled directly, they must be controlled with a Scene.

 

SceneButtonH is an ISY Scene with KeypadLinc button H assigned as a Responder.

 

If
       Status  'SW1' is Off
   And Status  'SW2' is Off
   And Status  'SW3' is Off

Then
       Set Scene 'SceneButtonH' Off

Else
       Set Scene 'SceneButtonH' On

Great. Ty. And a separate program to instruct when keypad button is pressed all lights will be turned off? Do I have to set button to toggle, ? So I need to set button as responder and controller?

 

Thanks again

No Program needed for that. Define an ISY Scene that has SW1, SW2, SW3 as Responders and the KeypadLinc button as Controller. Set the KeypadLinc button to non-toggle Off mode. Any time the KeypadLinc button is pressed the three SwitchLincs will turn Off.

Much appreciated!
