btsea Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I apologize if this is well-documented and/or discussed, but I haven't had much success in finding any definitive answers or people reporting the same problem. What is the expected behavior of a KPL button in non-toggle on mode? Is it expected to blink/flash a couple times before ultimately remaining on?I ask because... I have inconsistent behavior with another button on the same KPL! The other button controls a different scene with similar settings and also uses non toggle on mode. It remains on all the time and when pressed does not blink at all.I just migrated to the ISY from the Insteon Hub where I had similar scenes setup and the buttons never blinked when set to always on.Does anyone know what's going on?Thanks!

LeeG Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Which button blinks twice (as mine do) and which does not blink? What KPL firmware and 6 or 8 button? Link to comment
oberkc Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Based on my experience, non toggle buttons will all blink a few times then settle into final status. Link to comment
btsea Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 It is an 8-button KPL (2334-2) v.43. Button B is my "I'm Home!" scene controller which turns on most lights. It is set to non-toggle on. When I press it, everything turns on, the button blinks, and then the other buttons on the KPL which are responders turn on to reflect their status. Button H is my "Sleep" scene controller which turns off most lights. It is also set to non-toggle on. When I press it, everything turns off and the button does not blink, but stays on the entire time. Seems really strange to me. I also have an "Away" scene controller (button G) which is similar to sleep but turns off everything in my condo. It behaves exactly as I described for button H. Link to comment
LeeG Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Were G and H turned On by button B? Link to comment
stusviews Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Are you using scenes, programs or both? If both, then which for which? Link to comment
btsea Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 So far, just scenes. I just got the ISY this week and I'm migrating away from the cruddy Insteon Hub. Link to comment
btsea Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Were G and H turned On by button B? Nope! Link to comment
stusviews Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 The most common cause for a button to blink is a half-link. That means that the button is linked to a device that has been removed or that it can't reach. Any device that is a responder to or controller of the scene is a link. Run a scene test. Does any device not respond? Link to comment
LeeG Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Unfortunately my 8 button 2334-222 v.43 blinks buttons B and G and H when in non-toggle On mode or non-toggle Off mode. What ISY firmware is being used? (Help | About for Firmware and UI levels) Link to comment
Jimbo.Automates Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I would do a full reset, then restore device. Link to comment

Does any device not respond? Thanks Stu! I replaced a KPL with a new one and used the ISY's function to replace the device and the scene's button would flash. This was driving me crazy and I searched endless for why it was behaving this way. I did a scene diagnostic and some devices were failing, so I right clicked on the failed devices and did a restore.
