jim_ Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Trying to use KPL button for dual use, but I need help getting scan part to work. I would like a KPL button to indicate that other Insteon modules are in an ON state, and turn them off with the same switch. Each night, a program shuts down all lights in a delayed order … but if I want to turn the lights off earlier than 11 PM, I have button B on two KPL’s to perform the all lights off manually Sometimes the kids come in late and turn lights on, like garage or exterior lamps, so in the perfect world, I would like button B to light up again. If button B is pressed, it will run an “all shutdown” again. As a newbie, my programming is probably not as efficient as it could be, but I would appreciate any help with the scan part ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Program turns Lights on a Sunset in delayed manner and turns on KPL button B ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) Then Set Scene 'Lights - Button B' On Set 'Family Room Pot Lights' 70% Wait 2 minutes Set 'Kitchen Sink Light' On Wait 3 minutes Set 'Living Room Lights' On Wait 5 minutes Set 'Front Door - Ext Lights' On etc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This turns off lights at Bedtime and turns OFF button B ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If On Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu Time is 11:00:00PM Then Set 'Family Room Pot Lights' Off Wait 3 minutes (Random) Set 'Kitchen Sink Light' Off Wait 3 minutes (Random) Set 'Living Room Lights' Off etc Set Scene 'Lights - Button B' Off ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Button B turns off all lights before Bedtime timer triggers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If Status 'KPL Front Door - Ext Lights / Front KPL - B' is Off Or Status 'KPL Back Door - Garage Light / Rear KPL - B' is Off Then Set 'Family Room Pot Lights' Off Set 'Kitchen Sink Light' Off Set Scene 'Kitchen 3 Way' Off etc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Test program to scan for lights turned on after bedtime timer has already run ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) And Status 'KPL Front Door - Ext Lights / Front KPL - B' is Off And ( Status 'Family Room Pot Lights' >= 1% Or Status 'Kitchen Sink Light' >= 1% etc ) Then Set Scene 'Buttons B' On ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Link to comment

jim_ Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 I previously read that post, but my Keypad works for normal scenes ... What doesn't work is the secondary scan to trigger the keypad back on ... The scan should only run when SunSet is true and keypad is currently in off state How do i initiate a scan of all modules to determine if they are in an ON state again ... if an ON state is found, re-trigger the keypad to show on ?

jim_ Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Let me ask this question differently .. I built test programs to simplify my question and for a few cycles, it works, but then the modules flashing on / off many times and I get a window pop up on the Console writing data for a long time, so I assume this is a loop ? How do you stop it .. or at lease get this program to work First I scan for modules in an ON state provided the SunSet = TRUE and KPL - C is OFF If From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) And Status 'KPL Back Door - Garage Light / Rear KPL - C' is Off Or Status 'KPL Front Door - Ext Lights / Front KPL - C' is Off And ( Status 'LampLinc 26.DD.BD' is not Off Or Status 'LampLinc 26.EB.83' is not Off ) Then Set Scene 'Buttons C' On <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< turn on Button C scene ---------------------------------------------------------------- Next ... with Buttons C turned ON, either Button C will turn all modules off If Status 'KPL Front Door - Ext Lights / Front KPL - C' is Off <<<<<<<<<<<< manually turn all modules off Or Status 'KPL Back Door - Garage Light / Rear KPL - C' is Off Then Set 'LampLinc 26.DD.BD' Off Set 'LampLinc 26.EB.83' Off Link to comment
EricK Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 If button B is off and you press it do you want it to turn anything on? If not then I would consider setting B to non toggle off. Create a scene with B as the controller and everything that you want off as a responder, with the response level set to off/ 0. Create a scene with only the B buttons as responders "B buttons" Write a program to monitor, not sure why only at night, this does not seem to need that condition. If status device x is on Or status device y is on Or status device z is on Then set scene B buttons on. If you want the night time condition If from sunset To sunrise next day And (Status device x is on Or status y is on Or status z is on ) Then set scene B buttons on So if any of the devices are on, the Bs light up. Pressing b then will turn all lights off (so B can probably B toggle, not non toggle off) If you don't want to make the scene with all responders and B as a controller then you could use a program If control B1 is off Or control B 2 is off Then Set scene x off Set scene y off I'll throw some more ideas out How about a program to run at 1am to turn everything off. Maybe a notification. If (time is 11pm to sunrise next day)and garage lights are on then notification "garage lights are on Automate it: if (time is 11pm to sunrise next day) and status garage lights are on then wait 30 minutes and run your second program then or set scene with all of the devices off.
