Mil Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 I am trying to setup the Ceiling Fan with an 8 Button Keypad Linc. I have the buttons setup as scenes but when I turn the fan from Off to Low to Medium to High, I have to press the corresponding button twice. How do I make them responders and controllers to the function of the ceiling and the light? Thanks! R
stusviews Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Set each button to On-only. Set the scenes as follows: Low: Low button on, all other buttons off Repeat for each button.
Mil Posted October 7, 2015 Author Posted October 7, 2015 So add all buttons to every scene. Not just the one to be utilized? What about like the ceiling fan light. I have the Remotelinc and the KeypadLinc. When I push the Remotelinc <OFF>, I still have to double tap the KeypadLinc twice for <ON>. Thank you for walking me through this... For some reason one of my other non-dimmer switchlincs won't operate the light at all from the paddle but will from the Insteon.
Xathros Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Mil- As Stu said, set the buttons to 'Non-Toggle ON' mode. Create scenes as follows: FanLow: Button B - Controller - On level 100% Button C - Responder - On Level 0% Button D - Responder - On level 0% Button E - Responder - On Level 0% FanLinc - Responder - Fan Low FanMed: Button B - Responder - On level 0% Button C - Controller - On Level 100% Button D - Responder - On level 0% Button E - Responder - On Level 0% FanLinc - Responder - Fan Med FanHi: Button B - Responder - On level 0% Button C - Responder - On Level 0% Button D - Controller - On level 100% Button E - Responder - On Level 0% FanLinc - Responder - Fan High FanOff: Button B - Responder - On level 0% Button C - Responder - On Level 0% Button D - Responder - On level 0% Button E - Controller - On Level 0% This makes the Off button go dark after turning off the fan. FanLinc - Responder - Fan Off If you prefer to use only 3 buttons, you can eliminate the FanOff scene and keep all of the buttons in toggle mode. Hope this helps. -Xathros Edited October 7, 2015 by Xathros

Create a light scene with the RemoteLinc and KeypadLinc light button as controllers and the FanLinc light as a responder. Include any other devices you want to control the light including the non-dimmer SwitchLinc which, BTW, is capable of dimming the light.
TheWabit Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Following the instructions above worked great for my new Fanlinc setup - with the exception of the "off" scene. My off button, which in my case is "D", stays lit up when selected. The on level is set to "0" for that button. Any suggestions?
stusviews Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Highlight the KPL, select Buttons Toggle Mode Toggle On/Off. Set the desired button to Non-Toggle-Off.
TheWabit Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Stu They are already set that way. I would like my "off" button light to go out when selected.
stusviews Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Create a scene that contains only the Off button. Write a program to turn off the button If Status 'FanLinc Motor' is switched Off Then Set Scene 'Fan Off Button' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
TheWabit Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 For some reason, the original method stated by Xathros started working. Thanks for the alternative method Stu! But one other related question - when you set the "on levels", is that strictly the light levels of the button? I assume it is a load level if the button was synced to a light.
stusviews Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 You are correct. The on-level is the level of the load, not the button. For any on-level the button is illuminated, but for Off the button should be unlit.
