Posted October 6, 200718 yr Apparently Insteon will send a command when a paddle button is pressed more than 500 ms - a button pressed and released event. Will the next release of ISY support triggering an event off this? What I want to do is find a way to have a switch normally operate a single light in a room, but if I do something different (double click, hold it a bit longer, etc) have it trigger an event that will turn all the lights in the room on or off. Any suggestions? Thanks!
October 6, 200718 yr Yes, you can do that in the next release (currently in beta). A button press can send either an On/Off/Fast On/Fast Off/Brighten/Dim. Using the new triggers (now called 'programs'), you can have a switch operate a single light using on/off, but have it operate a whole room using Fast On/Fast Off. You can have it do it only at certain times, or even have it operate differently at different times.
October 7, 200718 yr Author Great! Perfect! I'm ready to try the beta - has it yet been tested with the java SDK?
October 7, 200718 yr Author By the way - can you somehow determine if a button has been double clicked (fast on / fast off) with the current release of the JDK?
October 7, 200718 yr Although it is in the plans, the JSDK has not yet been updated with the new trigger interface. You will need this new release for fast on/off because the current release only tests for device status.
