mschwab Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 My wife is used to using the 4-button X10 switch we have in the bathroom, 3 of which turn lights on and off, but the bottom rocker switch is used to brighten/dim whichever of the 3 lights that was most recently activated. And as we all know too well, the WAF is critical. I want to replace that switch with a KeypadLinc, but I don't know how to replicate the X10-style brighten/dim she is used to, but with Insteon switches. The primary load (i.e. button A = one of the 3 lights) we can brighten/dim the usual way. But I want to be able to brighten/dim the other 2 lights from the KPL, without having to walk into a different room to press the SwitchLincs directly. The KPL buttons B and C already turn the other 2 lights on/off. From the KPL (like buttons D and E, for instance) I would like to : 1. Be able to set at least the 8 or so different dim levels that the SwitchLinc does locally. 2. Be able to do that on both of the two lights. If I need something like B brightens light #1, D dims #1, C brightens light #2, E dims #2, that would be OK. Do I need to do this with an ISY program? I'm afraid that would make it too slow. Do I need to have 8 different scenes to get 8 brightness levels? Link to comment
LeeG Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 The Secondary KPL buttons can be used to brighten/dim the SwitchLincs just like Main A. Simply press and hold the respective button until level achieved. Link to comment
