KPL 5-button with Fanlinc -- LED on Buttons A - D toggle on/off together

[fmk2]

I'm sure this question must have been answered before, but I've searched the forum and can't find it -- maybe I'm just not using the right search terms -- so if anyone can help, I would appreciate it. 

 

I just installed a new 2486D 5-button KPL with a Fanlinc.  This is the second one I've installed, and the first one works perfectly.  This one works fine too in that the top and bottom switches control the fan light and switches A - D control the fan speed (usual configuration; A = medium, B = High, C = Low, D = Off).  But I can't get the LED backlights of switches A - D to work independently.  When I push any of the A - D buttons, the LED backlight for all 4 switches toggles.  They are always all on or all off, regardless of the state of the fan.

 

I have created the scenes necessary to control the fan with the switch.  The scenes I created match my other fanlinc and 2486D exactly.  Likewise, the Button Toggle Mode matches my other switch.

 

What am I missing?

you have this then?

This is, in my estimation, likely caused by have the responder levels set incorrectly.  What is typically missed here is that the levels must be set in multiple places, for the scene (itself) and for any controller devices within the scene.  If you want a responder device to go to zero in response to a controller device, make sure you check the responder levels when the controller device is highlighted by mouse-click.

Check all the responder levels and make sure A, B, C and D are set to Non-Toggle On.

I figured it out...

 

Two of my 4 Fan Speed scenes had a setup problem.  If you clicked on the name of the scene, it showed all the responder levels to be correctly set (0).  But if you clicked on the controller switch within that scene, the responder levels showed a setting of 100!  I'm not sure how/why that could happen, but setting the responders to 0 at the switch fixed the problem.

 

Thanks for the help, all.

As far as "why" it could happen, this is considered a feature of insteon. For a given scene, you can have multiple controllers, and for each controller different responder levels. This gives one the ability, for example, to have a group of lights have have movie setting versus intermission, based upon which keypad button you press. As with many things, with features come added complexity. Treat the "scene" responder levels as those when reacting to the PLM as a scene controller.

 

Please note, also, that when you selected the controller switch within the scene, there was revealed an option so set the responder levels as the same as the scene. This strikes me as a convenient feature of the ISY that keeps things nice and consistent for those like yourself that want a scene to respond the same way regardless if which controller triggered the scene.
