hammr808 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Here's a common scenario: 1 Fanlinc being controlled by 1 or more Keypadlincs. All works fine when creating the proper scenes (button statuses and fan speeds). But, how do you handle, controlling the Fanlinc directly and having the KPL button status's update? For example, using Mobilinc or eKeypad to control the Fanlinc directly is very clean, but then the button statuses become out of sync. I've tried creating "status" scenes for just the KPL buttons and having a program set the scene to On when the fanlinc status is low (for example) and the KPL.Low button is off (trying to prevent the program/scene from firing when not needed) but it ends up turning on all of the 4 KPL fan buttons. I hope I'm explaining this well. Thanks again for the help. Link to comment
LeeG Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 The best way is to control the Scene with MobiLinc rather than the FanLinc Fan itself. When all the KeypadLinc buttons turn On the Scene the Program is invoking does not have the other KPL buttons set to 0% On Level. In the Low example that Scene must have the Low KPL button(s) set to 100% On Level and the other three KPL buttons set to 0% On Level so the other buttons are turned Off or stay Off. Link to comment
LeeG Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 If the KPL buttons are set to 0% On Level but still turn On what is the firmware level of the KPL? Link to comment
hammr808 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 KPL v3.6. I know its not the newest... My scenes are created with KPL button statuses as 0% and 100% based on L, M, H, and Off. And they seem to be working correctly. I also am noticing that ISY is reporting that the KPL buttons are responding correctly to the 'status' scene. However, when I look at the KPL all four fan buttons are lit. So when I turn On the Low Status scene (no fanlinc control, only buttons) in ISY, ISY shows it's working correctly. But, the KPL shows otherwise. Also, if I query the KPL in ISY it still doesn't update and show that all four buttons are lit. Link to comment
LeeG Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Unfortunately my v.36 does the same thing. The link records for the Scene are defined for the other buttons to turn Off but they turn On. Ran the same test on a v.41 and it worked correctly. A Query of the v.36 does correct the ISY information. The load control button has to be queried. The ISY does not issue an actual query when requested for a secondary button. Link to comment
