jgorm Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Is there a good way to use the scene buttons, on the multiple button switches, as indicators for when certain programs are running, certain lights are on, etc? I am trying to make 2 switches in different rooms light up if my hot water pump is on. I set the programs to turn on the scene button, and it works sometimes, but then stops. If I set it to turn the backlight on, it turns the backlight on for the entire switch, not just the scene button. Is is possible to use these to turn on when programs are running? I have tried using a scene, but it didn't always work either. The other question I have is which option to select when you are adding new devices and it asks if you want to keep the links, remove all links, etc. Do I need links if everything runs off the ISY? Or does the ISY program the links and then the programs would run even if the ISY was unhooked?
LeeG Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 The KeypadLinc Backlight level applies to the entire KPL, not a specific KPL button. Secondary KPL button LEDs can be turned On and Off with a Program. Define an ISY Scene XXXX with KPL1 button C as Responder. If another KPL should reflect the same information add KPL2 button C as another Responder to the same Scene. The Program turns the Scene XXXX On and Off to turn the Secondary KPL button(s) On and Off. A Secondary KPL button cannot be turned On/Off with a Direct command. The default erase existing links is the best choice. How would the ISY programs run if the ISY is unhooked? What do you mean by unhooked? Unhooked from what, router, PLM, power?
jgorm Posted September 28, 2013 Author Posted September 28, 2013 Thanks. I got it working with scenes. I know the programs wouldn't run without the ISY, but I was wondering if they ISY built the links into the devices, and I now understand that it does.
