ApplianceLinc Side Button Issue

When I push the button on the side of the ApplianceLinc the ISY does not immediately update the status of the device. I have to hit query to make it update. There don't seem to be any options for the ApplianceLinc in the main device section either, I need to have the status to sync the LED on the KeypadLinc with the device's (a fan) status.

Are you using a program? Have you tried using a scene?

That's the expected behavior, as the ApplianceLinc (and LampLincs of the same vintage) was a single-band, responder-only device. Responder-only devices can't be linked or operated as a controller, so the only way the ISY knows its state has changed is if another, linked controller turns it on, or if the ISY intentionally queries it to find out its current state.

 

Newer On/Off Modules and Lamp Dimmers (the ones with separate on and off buttons on the side) can be linked as controllers, so the ISY is notified when they change state.

You rock. I knew there was an answer and that (for once) makes total sense. I guess the ApplianceLinc will need to go in the to-be-upgraded pile since I don't want to introduce any continuous polling if I can avoid it.

 

Thanks Fitz.
