chachdog Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I tried to follow some screen shotted instructions to program the keypad. The buttons do what they are suppose to but for example now I turned the fan on via the motor icon in the console and my keypad off is still lit. Link to comment
LeeG Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 If there are multiple devices involved do not turn On/Off individual device. Insteon does not propagate that individual device command to other devices in a Scene. If all Scene devices are expected to stay in sync turn the Scene On/Off, not an individual device.

chachdog Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 so it looks right then? was just concerned I missed something. so from mobile link. use only scenes no sliders? thanks Link to comment
LeeG Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I do not use Mobilinc. The operative point is to turn a Scene On/Off to affect multiple devices. I have read discussions about Mobilinc making an assumption that a Scene should be used rather than control an individual device but as I said, I do not use Mobilinc so do not know those details. Mobilinc has a forum category where you would likely get better Mobilinc specific questions answered. Link to comment
oberkc Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 The sliders you reference are, I believe, associated with direct control of a fanlinc. I believe there are also sliders in the admon console when logged on to the ISY. Both will work fine, but the keypad buttons will not stay in sync. For all to stay in sync, use the scenes to control your fan. Link to comment
stusviews Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 When you control a device remotely, only that specific device responds, not any of it's links. If that weren't the case, then it would be too easy to create an infinite loop. Here's a common example: 3-way configuration. Switch A turns on Switch B ans Switch B turns on Switch A. If a device also turned on the other devices links, then A sends an On signal to B which sends an On signal to A which sends and On signal to B which sends an On signal... . That doesn't happen. If you want to control more than one device concurrently, then control the scene. Link to comment
chachdog Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 It wasn't a specific question or a mobile question really. I am confused trying to figure out what is happening vs what should be happening. was using the slider as a device control example. could be within isy admin console also. If there are multiple devices involved do not turn On/Off individual device. Insteon does not propagate that individual device command to other devices in a Scene. If all Scene devices are expected to stay in sync turn the Scene On/Off, not an individual device. Do all 4 fan speed settings and motor speed need to go to every new scene that use the fan to keep the keypad linc buttons in sync? I guess scenes inside scenes isn't a thing unless that is just called a program. Link to comment
stusviews Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 The usual procedure is the set the slider to on for the speed controller button and off for the other fan buttons. Four scenes are needed, one for each speed plus an off scene. Each scene contains the motor and all four buttons. Link to comment
chachdog Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 if i want the fan off in a scene. do I make fan off on level 0 or 100 percent? Link to comment
LeeG Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 If using Scene Off command the On Level does not matter. If using a Scene On command the On Level must be 0%. Link to comment
