Integrating ISY994i/IR Pro with Insteon 2334-2 Keypad

[gadgetman53]

I am trying to setup an Insteon 8 button Keypad with the ISY994i/IR Pro. I want to have each button trigger an X10 device which are attached to relays for my home speakers. From the Keypad directly, it works fine. However, when I setup the Keypad in the Administration Console,the first button shows a State and permits me to turn it on and off but the remaining buttons do not have a way to turn the button on and off through the console. Likewise, if I use my Android phone using the Universal Devices page, I can only switch the first button on and off and receive errors for the remaining buttons. I have a program for each "speaker switch" which when the status changes, it turns on the corresponding X10 controlled relay.

 

The Keypad works directly, but I cannot integrate it with ISY.

 

Any suggestions?

I think you will have to a scene for each button.

Take a look at this thread regarding scenes and X10

You will need both a program for each X10 command and a scene for each program. The scene contains only the button as a responder. The program sends the X10 house/unit code and turns the scene on or off.

 

If

        Control 'button x' is set On

     and Control 'button x' is not set Off (executes Else)

 

Then

        Set 'button x scene' On

        Send X10 house/unit code on

 

Else

        Set 'button x scene' Off

        Send X10 house/unit code off

Ok. Now I have the following setup:

Garage Relay (X10 address)

Garage Speakers (Insteon 2334-2 button

Garage Speakers Scene (scene associated with Garage Speakers as Responder)

 

Program Garage Speakers:

IF Control "Garage Speakers" is switched on

and control "Garage Speakers" is not switched off

Then

set scene garage speakers on

wait 3 seconds

set Garage Speakers on

else

set scene Garage Speakers Off

wait 3 seconds

set Garage Speakers Off

 

Pressing button B on the Insteon Keypad toggles the Garage Relay and Garage Speakers fine.

On my Android, I cannot select the Garage Speakers On/Off buttons which are linked to the Insteon switch as I receive an error.

The Garage Speakers Scene display on the Android shows both the On and Off buttons as highlighted

If I click on the Off Scene button, the Garage Speakers button shows the change, but the relay does not.

 

My goal is to see the Garage Speakers buttons on the Android and select the speakers on or off which will set the wall Insteon Keypad to show On/Off and turn the corresponding X10 relay to the same setting.

 

What am I doing wrong?

You  will have to operate the program from your mobile device using Run Then, or Run Else.

 

I would be taking the buttons out of toggle mode, creating a program to toggle a variable and then operating the variable form wherever you want. I am not sure you an change the sate of a toggling and latched KPL button but I don't ever use them in that mode.

Mine are all non-toggle On. The toggle mode was created to handle Insteon scenes without any intelligent controller like ISY.

You seem to have both a scene and a device with the same name. Is that so? It's less confusing if there is something in the name that differentiates them. Is the device a member of the scene, too?

[gadgetman53]

"Garage Speakers Scene" is the name of the scene with "Garage Speakers" as a responder to "Garage Speakers Scene"

"Garage Speakers" is the name of the Insteon Button B on the in wall keypad.

I am using  ISY WEB/udajax for the control on my Android phone. 

 

I don't understand the reference to "Run Then" or "Run Else" mentioned from larryllix as I am just using My Devices & Scenes on the menu.
