jbferg Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I'm fairly new to this and have successfully installed about 30 INSTEON devices working quite well with an ISY. Now that I have the basics, I am trying to tune several KPL-triggered scenes and try more advanced programming techniques. I'm very confused, however, on the best way to handle a 3-way lighting controller. One switch is the main button on an 8-button panel, and the other switch is a normal INSTEON dimmer. I followed the instructions for 3-way installations and have no problem with either button controlling the light. They are both cross-linked, meaning the ISY shows each as a controller and a responder to a new scene I created just for this light. My question is how should I add this light to a scene where I want the light as a component? I cannot to my knowledge add this 3-way scene to another scene. Thanks for your guidance!
LeeG Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Correct, a Scene cannot be added to another Scene. If adding anther Controller simply add the new Controller to the existing Scene KPL button - Controller SwitchLinc - Controller new device - Controller If the KPL should turn On/Off from the new Controller but the KPL should not control the new Controller new device - Controller KPL button - Responder SwitchLinc - Responder The KPL button and SwitchLinc are Responders so these two devices stay in sync. If neither matches the desired results please expand on what is required.
jbferg Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 Thanks LeeG. I apparently had the two controllers cross-linked incorrectly. And I also discovered a scene that had mistakenly been linked to a button on the KPL, further complicating my issues. All is resolved and working like it should now!
