Keypadlinc 2485d ignores initial on rating

Hi,

 

I have a Keypadlinc that I have setup to have a dimmer up and down switches in the C and E position.

 

the Dimmer send 6 brighten or dim signals when each is pressed once and a fast off from either C or E will set it to 100% or 25% respectively.

 

My question is when I have dimmed the lights. Then hit off. When i hit ON again the lights come on at 25% (or the level they were at when turned off) but the ISY will report that the lights have come on at my initial turn on rate of 75%.

 

I have to send a manual query for the ISY to get back in sync. As it seems the switch is remembering the last setting and ignoring the initial on level expected by the ISY.

 

I could not figure out how to disable the remember feature in the keypadlinc if that is possible. My other thought was to write another program to correct the on status should the switch turn on and after a query the light level doesn't match 75%. (if a program containing a query is even possible.)

 

So I thought I would ask the gurus on this board for their help! thanks.

Check the KeypadLinc User Guide "Local On-Level". It discusses the "Resume Bright" mode where the KPL returns to the last On Level after being turned Off. The "Resume Bright" feature can be disabled by tapping the Set button after setting to some On Level.

Thanks for the reply.

 

I only see résumé bright as part of the x10 commands. And all it says is to have the turn the initial on level to something other than 0.

 

It did say something about locking the initial on level but that required setting it while to linked to a controller. And to not link it to a controller for 4 minutes.

 

Does that see. Right? Or am I just reading the manual wrong?

From the Keypadlinc User Guide

 

To set KeypadLinc’s Local-On-Level:

1.

Press & hold On and/or Off (or Main in 8-button configuration) until the connected light is at the brightness desired when turned on locally (turn the light off if you wish to use the “Resume Bright†feature)

2.

Tap KeypadLinc’s Set button

KeypadLinc will (Beep)

3.

Test the Local On-Level settings by tapping the On/Off or Main
