I have just started to setup my home with isy/insteon. I have been unable to figure out one issue and wanted to see if anyone knew if it was even possible. I am trying to setup a scene where On/Off turns on all scenes and shows the status of the scene via LED on the KPL. Example of my setup below.

 

6 KPL:

 

On/Off - No load (controls scenes through software)

Scene A - Living Room

Scene B - None

Scene C - Dining Room

Scene D - Kitchen

 

 

My attempts:

 

1. I made the On/Off control all scenes by creating a scene with all the separate units (micro dimmers, lamplincs) as responders and the On/Off as controller. However this doesn't show status of the scenes on LED.

 

2. I created a scene with On/Off as controller and scenes A,C,D as responders. The LEDs light up, but the scenes do not activate.

 

3. I created a program "If On/Off is switched on, then set scene A on and C and D…". This works, but is there a way to get the scenes to activate simultaneously? This program turns each scene on chronologically.

 

I figure I'd ask. If it's impossible to do this, I'll just go with my 1st attempt and live with the LED status off. Thanks in advance.

Add the KPL buttons A, B, C & D to this scene as responders too.

Correct. Only the buttons are scene members here. This is the expected behavior.

 

3. I created a program "If On/Off is switched on, then set scene A on and C and D…". This works, but is there a way to get the scenes to activate simultaneously? This program turns each scene on chronologically.

As expected under program control. There will be delays as the program executes and has to wait for insteon commands to process.

The solution is in #1 above. Certainly possible to do exactly what you want.

 

Hope this helps.

I was overcomplicating it. I knew it would something simple. It makes a ton of sense now. Thanks a lot Xathros

Anytime.

 

Happy to help.
