How to add existing 3 Way into new Scene using KPL's ?

[jim_]

Trying to build a simple All Lights On via 2 KPL's and I'm unable to add a 3 Way scene without changing one of the 2477D's from Controller to Responder which breaks the LED indicator lamps on one of the switches. Since the 3 Way is already a Scene, the ISY will not permit you to add a scene to a scene

 

So, the only option is to add one of the 2477D's into the new scene, but you are prompted by the ISY "Kitchen 3 Way is already a controller for Kitchen 3 Way. Would you like to make it a responder ?"

 

Scene looks like this

All Lights - On Off

> Front KPL - A

> Rear KPL - A

> Room A

> Room B

> Room C

> etc

> Want to add the 3 Way here !!!

"the ISY will not permit you to add a scene to a scene"

 

That is an Insteon limitation, the button/device can control one Scene only.  Otherwise Scene loops could develop.

Understood, makes sense ... but I'm sure others who have KPL's would like to control 3 ways ?

Chose which is most important to do directly with a Scene and which requires an ISY Program with another Scene.  

 

The KPL button that cannot be added as a Controller to the above Scene must now be a Controller of some other Scene.  Remove it as a Controller from that Scene, add it as a Controller to the above Scene, use an ISY Program to monitor the new KPL button and have the Program control the Scene that was controlled by the new button.

 

Without the ISY (all native Insteon) the above could not be done at all.
