Claas Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Any suggestions how to program the following: I have several closets with lights controlled by Insteon Switch On / Off (I rarely see these closets and other people in the household tend to leave these lights on). I have a scene that turns all Closet lights off on a KPL6 on button D, it's non-toggle off, and works fine. Now rather than pressing D every time I leave the house, I would like for D to light up. If Switch A or If Switch B etc is On, then Turn on Button D Else Turn off Button D. I created a Scene with just Button D that the program controls. It works if a Switch is On, then Button D lights, up, I press Button D and the All Closets Off scene runs, but the Button D stays lit. Even so the check program's Else line says turn Button D off. Any suggestions? Thank you

Even so the check program's Else line says turn Button D off. It would help if you actually post the program. Are you on v4.X of the ISY software, or have you moved to v5.x? One possibility is that your conditions checking on lights being ON are "control on" (rather than "status on") conditions. Is this the case? If so, your program would not ever run the ELSE path.
Claas Posted January 3, 2019 Author Posted January 3, 2019 Here's a screenshot of my program. Scene "Check Master Area" is Button D on a KPL6 only. Button D on the KPL6 is the Controller of a Scene turning everything off in the MasterBedArea. Button D comes on when any light in the If is turned on. But doesn't come off after I pressed Button D. Button D is set to Non-Toggle Off.

Claas Posted January 7, 2019 Author Posted January 7, 2019 I actually had one area, the basement, with 17 devices where I had to set it to 3 seconds.

Any suggestions? Thank you Why not program a timer for each closet light? My thinking as follows: Someone turns on a closet light, start the timer for 15 min. Turn off the light when the time expires.
lilyoyo1 Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 Uffys way is a better way as you would need to leave the house to notice the lights are on. Personally, I would invest in sensors that would turn off the lights automatically if no one is in the closets.
