Setting local ramp rates and dim levels dont' work.

[chadg]

Hi all, I'm a new user so, this may be my misunderstanding, but things don't seem to be working right for me when it comes to setting local ramp rates and dim levels.

 

I was under the impression that went I clicked on a device the slideers on the right hand slide were to control and program the switches local ramp rates and dim levels.

 

After setting these sliders I then go to my switches, but no changes occurs. They still respond with the old ramp rates and dim levels. If I right click the device and say 'query' it does come back with what I programed in ISY.

 

If I go and manually set the dim level (I did not test ramp rate) on the switch it then works fine. If I query from ISY it shows me the new settings. If I then update from ISY the chnages again do not take effect, but every query will show that it did.

 

I'm very confused. Am I not understanding how this is supposed to work? I tried this on four different switches in my house, so I assume that it is not a HW issue.

 

ISY firmware: 2.6.7 (started with 2.6.5, but thought the upgrade may help)

Switchlinc dimmers: v.24 and v.32

 

Thanks for any light that can be shed on this. My Insteon road has been very rocky I'm hoping that ISY will lay down some smooth pavment!

For SwitchLinc Dimmers, they must be 'rebooted' after making on-level and ramp rate changes via software. To do this, pull out the plastic air gap for about 10 seconds, then pop it back in (don't hold it in - just return it to its original position).

This one caught me as well...probably does a lot of folks.

 

I wonder why they designed them that way? Seems silly...

You can reset many devices at once by cycling the breaker

OK, thanks for that. After a reboot of switches the local setting took place. Annoying, but I guess it it out of UD's control.
