hchain Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 I want a button on a Keypadlinc to blink to catch attention more than by simply being ON. I can turn it ON or OFF using a Scene but is there a way to make it blink, other than: Repeat 1000 times Set Scene_xxx On Wait 1 second Set Scene_xxx Off Wait 1 second Thanks!
paulbates Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) Hi No, there is no intrinsic blink function in the keypad, you'll have to do it with ISY program statements as you've done. Depending how busy your ISY is with other things, a second may be a little tight timing for a regular, consistent blink. Something else I do periodically to signal an event or draw attention to the keypad is use the "beep" function. If the garage door is up and its later in the evening, I have it beep periodically. Version 5 of firmware (which is in alpha/beta) offers more sophisticated logic with the Repeat statement. Paul Edited July 1, 2017 by paulbates
hchain Posted July 2, 2017 Author Posted July 2, 2017 Thanks, Paul, that's a good alternative in view of the load on the system imposed by the solution I have. Happy 4th! RV
