I've been doing a little digging around the forums and have found a lot of information regarding setting ramp rates in scenes vs. local ramp rates, and I thought I had it figured out.

 

I have the following program that turns on some outside lights before sunset every day, and what I am attempting to do is set the ramp rates to 9 minutes for both lights, but am not seeing the intended results. Whenever the program runs, the lights come on at the ramp rate that is set for the local ramp rate, even though the program seems to be setting the ramp rates properly in the "Outside Lights" scene I have setup.

 

Here's the program:

 

On At Sunset - [iD 0006][Parent 0004]

 

If

        Time is Sunset  - 39 minutes

 

Then

        In Scene 'Outside Lights' Set 'Keypadlinc.FD.Ext Recessed' 9.0 Min (Ramp Rate)

        In Scene 'Outside Lights' Set 'Front Garage Sconces' 9.0 Min (Ramp Rate)

        Set Scene 'Outside Lights' On

        Send Notification to 'SMS' content 'Outside Lights'

 

Else

   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

 

 

Any obvious errors here that I might be making???

 

 

Many devices no longer support a 9 minute ramp rate because that would be a 0x00 value.  The equivalent of not setting a Ramp Rate value.

 

Set the Ramp Rate to 8 minutes.

 

EDIT:  from the KeypadLinc Specs

 

0.125 to 9 seconds if programmed locally, 0.125 seconds to 8 minutes if programmed remotely via software

Ahhhhh....good to know. It would have taken me forever to stumble across that!

 

I'll give it a try later tonight and post back.

 

Thanks LeeG.

Problem solved. Setting the ramp rates to 8 minutes worked as it should.

 

Thanks again for the tip.

Good to hear problem is solved.
