SpicyMikey Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 Finishing up conversion from the old HomeLinc to ISY. Struggling to do something that I think would be simple so I'm probably missing something. I want to have a switchlinc and lamplinc dim to 40" at a certain time. I see how we can set the OnLevel to bring it up to 40% when turning it on. But how do I tell it to drop to 40% programmatically. The following is the only thing i came up with but it feels like a hack. Better way? By the way, the reason I have two loops is because the LampLinc is having more issues being reached reliably. End result, when the swtches reach 40% the LampLinc is often only at 50% because some of the commands never reached it. That's another question I'll ask in a separate post?
mwester Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 Create a scene containing the LampLinc and the SwitchLinc Dimmer both set to 40% ON level -- then just set that scene to on in the program.
larryllix Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 I never use the dim. I use a long ramp time and a similar loop to set the lights to the new variable level. I can get a smooth looking dim with no visual jumps over the period of more than an hour with the right waits.You need v5 though.Sent using Tapatalk

Broyd Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 I set a dim to a percentage value with a program ... this works fine. I have a ramp rate on this dimmer switch set to 4.5 seconds. Test Dim: P5 - On - [ID 0012][Parent 002B] If X10 'P5/On (3)' is Received Then Set '3rd Floor Ceiling Lights' On 55% Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
