Very strange. Same thing happens when you choose, from the device list, the fanlinc and mnually select the speed? Perhaps, as yoy probably suspect, there is some device failure or incompatibility here. These things have worked for me without any of these kinds of issues.

I had a Fanlinc go bad after working for two years - low and medium would work - but sending a direct 'high' it would shut off. I had to replace it.

Maybe it's the FanLinc then, I can replace it... but this is what's happening regardless if I manually set it or not.

Correct.  If I manually set the FanLinc to high it cuts off too.

OK I am looking for something very similar 1 button push to cycle thru my fanlinc speeds. I created 1 scene that has the fanlinc(responder) and Keypad A(Controller. No load is wired) Keypad button is set to Non toggle ON. With the following programs:

 

Master Fan Low - [iD 0010][Parent 0014]
 
If
        Control 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' is switched On
    And Status  'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' is Off
 
Then
        Set 'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' Low
        Wait  1 second
        Set 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' 2 (Beep Duration)
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
_____________
 
Master Fan Med - [iD 0011][Parent 0014]
 
If
        Control 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' is switched On
    And Status  'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' is Low
 
Then
        Set 'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' Med
        Wait  1 second
        Set 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' 2 (Beep Duration)
        Wait  1 second
        Set 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' 2 (Beep Duration)
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Master Fan Hi - [iD 0012][Parent 0014]
 
If
        Control 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' is switched On
    And Status  'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' is Med
 
Then
        Set 'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' High
        Wait  1 second
        Set 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' 2 (Beep Duration)
        Wait  1 second
        Set 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' 2 (Beep Duration)
        Wait  1 second
        Set 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' 2 (Beep Duration)
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
 
______________________
 
Master Fan Off - [iD 0013][Parent 0014]
 
If
        Control 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' is switched On
    And Status  'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' is High
 
Then
        Set 'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' Off
        Wait  1 second
        Set 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' 5 (Beep Duration)
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Couple issues, the fan speeds work when I cycle thru them, but the button LED blinks 3 times and no beeping sounds. I would like to have the beep so I know what speed is selected. Also the button LED does not turn off with the OFF program...
 
Thanks

The beep command doesn't actually do anything.

That's too bad figured that would work nice to figure out what speed. I just added to turn the keypad light off:

 

Master Fan Off - [iD 0013][Parent 0014]
 
If
        Control 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' is switched On
    And Status  'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' is High
 
Then
        Set 'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' Off
        Set 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' Off
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I actually use a single button to control the FanLinc, except that I mimic the chain, that is, from off to high to medium to low to off B)

I like to be the rebel, I use a single button as well, but Low->Med->Hi->Off

You could change the LED brightness to match the speed. LEDs take scenes for them though. PITA.

 

I like to operate multi-level devices with variables. 0,1,2,3 = off,low,med,high

That way other programs can operate the device also by just storing a number into the variable, no jumping into programs that get modified later and then magically don't work.

Final Update:  I replaced the FanLinc today and everything is working... looks like "high" was defective after all.  Thanks!

 

David... FYI, i had the same thing happen but it was the MED setting on the fanlinc that went bad.... very frustrating to trouble shoot.. luckily i had another fanlinc that i hadn't installed yet so i swapped them out and proved it was the fan linc not my programming... thanks!

I have just installed two fanlincs with 6 button keypads. 

 

I created 3 scenes for each one as follows:

1) Fan on High:

-Keypad a, Responder: set to zero

-Kepyad b Responder: set to zero

-Keypad c Controller: set to 100

-Fanlinc Fan Responder: set to High

 

2)Fan on Med:

-Keypad a, Responder: set to zero

-Keypad b, Controller: set to 100

-Keypad c, Responder: set to zero

-Fanlinc Fan, Responder set to Med

 

3)Fan on Low:

-Keypad a, Controller: set to 100

-Keypad b, Responder: set to zero

-Keypad c, Responder: set to zero

-Fanlinc Fan, Responder set to low

 

All scenes work perfectly when I click on or off in that scen on the ISY.

 

However, when i press any of the three buttons on the keypad, all three buttons light up and the fan will run on high.  Press any of them a second time and they all turn off and so does the fan..

 

What is going on here? thanks!

I started with this information to add a 6 button keyPad and a FanLinc

I came up with the following scenses  turning the buttons on and off and the fan speeds work correctly.

1) Fan on High:

-Keypad a, Responder: set to zero

-Keypad b, Responder: set to zero

-Keypad c, Controller: set to 100

-Keypad d, Responder: set to zero

-Fanlinc Fan Responder: set to High

2)Fan on Med:

-Keypad a, Responder: set to zero

-Keypad b, Controller: set to 100

-Keypad c, Responder: set to zero

-Keypad d, Responder: set to zero

-Fanlinc Fan, Responder set to Med

3)Fan on Low:

-Keypad a, Controller: set to 100

-Keypad b, Responder: set to zero

-Keypad c, Responder: set to zero

-Keypad c, Responder: ser to zero

-Fanlinc Fan, Responder set to low

4)Fan on Off:

-Keypad d, Controller: set to 100

-Keypad a, Responder: set to zero

-Keypad b, Responder: set to zero

-Keypad c, Responder: set to zero

-Fanlinc Fan, Responder set to low

but I could not come up with scenes for the on and off buttons

of the KeyPad.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
