pauliep Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 I am not normally stupid, but I need some help. This is driving me nuts. The setup is this: I have two Insteon Keypad Dimmer Switches (6 button, one in living room the other in the family room) which control a 220V/240 V 30 map Insteon load controller on my pool pump for my fountains. This pump is dedicated to the fountains. When I hit the "A" button for the pump at either of the dimmer switches, they both respond properly that the pump is on. However, if I go to the pool area and hit the switch from there, the pump does turn on, but it does not report to the keypad switches the load is on, or rather, the keypad lights don't turn on. I am being driven crazy by this as only someone on a day off can be. Is anyone willing to help? Thanks, Paul
SteveL Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 pauliep, You need to link the 30a load controller back to each of the keypad buttons. If you do this in the ISY then the two buttons and 30a controller are all put into a scene and made controllers of each other.
pauliep Posted May 4, 2014 Author Posted May 4, 2014 Steve, Help in this endeavor would be appreciated. I can't seem to "see" how to do this. Paul

Steve, I did that in scenes, as far as I can tell, but it still doesn't work. Paul
SteveL Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 pauliep, Are the three devices in the scene in Red? You can always manually link it to the "A" buttons of the keypads.
LeeG Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 pauliep Strongly urge NO manual linking. The ISY will not be aware of that link and it will eventually be overwritten by ISY. Also any Device Restore of the KeypadLincs or Load Controller will eliminate the manual link. The two KeypadLinc buttons and the Load Controller should be in the same ISY Scene as Controllers (as Red nodes). That way no matter how the Load Controller is turned On the KeypadLinc buttons should come On.
pauliep Posted May 5, 2014 Author Posted May 5, 2014 OK, I see the Fountains are not in red, but the keypads are. The fountains are in blue. I have forgotten how to move these over to red or to make them controllers.
LeeG Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Right click on the Blue Load Controller entry in the Scene. Select Remove from Scene to remove Load Controller from Scene. Then drag the Load Controller back to the Scene and drop it. Click the Controller/Responder button to change Load Controller entry to Controller and click Ok.
