danielt Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I have struggled for a while to get a consistent 'all off' button to work and an 'all on' and also to lit appropriately. I have a KPL in the bedroom and near the garage entry door. In the bedroom, I wanted to be able to turn all the lights off in the house when we go to bed, or turn on all lights when needed in an emergency. I also wanted the KPL to tell me there is a light on somewhere both in the bedroom and at the garage door. To make all this work, I have 2 scenes: -All On Bedroom light - responder Kitchen light - responder Garage entry light - responder Bedroom KPL-C - controller Bedroom KPL-D - controller Garage KPL-C - controller -Any Light On Bedroom KPL-C - responder Garage KPL-C - responder The KPL-C are my 'all off' switches. The KPL-D is the 'all on/panic' switch. Initially, I had all kinds of trouble keeping them sync'd. The trick was to confige the KPL-D as non-toggle/On and the KPL-C buttons as non-toggle/Off. This way, the KPL-C buttons can only send a 'Off' command. The second scene is for notification if a light is on. I have a 2 programs running: "Any light on program" If Status 'Kitchen UnderLight' is not Off Or Status 'Master Bedroom Light' is not Off Or Status 'Garage_entry_light_KPL' is not Off Then $light_any_on = 1 Else $light_any_on = 0 "light up KPL-C" If $light_any_on is 1 Then Set Scene 'Keypad scenes / Any Light on' On Else Set Scene 'Keypad scenes / Any Light on' Off So, if any of the Insteon lights is on in the house, then it turns the KPL-C buttons On and the LEDs are lit. Hope this helps!!!
Michel Kohanim Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Hi danielt, What seems to be the problem? Can you please elaborate? From my experience, any time you want to turn backlights on/off, it's best to add a delay especially if the status is based on the load on the same KPL. With kind regards, Michel
