mikebanes Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 I am using the ISY99i to help control/display lighting status in the house. For example, if I turn on my kitchen lights, I want my 3 Keypad Linc (2486) C switch to indicate status (on/off). I want to also control the kitchen lights from these locations (button C). I was able to set this up manually, linking the devices. Using a Program, I can get the ISY99i to turn the kitchen lights on/off with button C say using Keypad Link #2, but I cannot figure out how to get the other 2 Keypad Link button C's to indicate current status (on/off as appropriate). So, I am attempting to set up the program such that when I turn button C on/off, the backlight is to change on the corresponding C buttons. However, once the program line is entered, and tested, the backlights do not respond as programmed. For example: IF - Status Master Bedroom Switch 8 / 17.A3.4D.C' is On THEN - Set 'Living Room Switch 8 / 16.E5.90.C' On 15 / Off 7 Backlight Level) As I press the Master Bedroom C button ON, the Master Bedroom button C illuminates, yet the Living Room button C does not. Perhaps I am using this incorrectly?
LeeG Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 The Backlight level adjusts ALL the KPL buttons backlight level. It is not used to turn an individual KPL button LED On/Off. Secondary KPL buttons cannot be controlled with Direct commands. Direct commands have no means of indicating which KPL button to control. Define an ISY Scene with the KPL C buttons as Responders. The Program turns the Scene On/Off to turn KPL C buttons On/Off A simpler approach is to use an ISY Scene without a Program. Define the ISY Scene with the SwitchLinc and the KPL C buttons as Controllers. The SwitchLinc and the KPL C buttons will turn the load On/Off and the KPL C buttons will stay in sync with the SwitchLinc. EDIT: if it can be done with Set button links (which must not be done while using an ISY) it can be done with ISY Scene(s).
