How To: Create an all on and all off for a KPL button

[Moshe]

Is there a simple way to create an ALL ON and All OFF command for a KPL button, without having to add all devices to a scene for a specific KPL button?

 

Thanks

Hi Moshe,

 

Unfortunately not. All on/off use group 255 and KPLs can only send groups 1 through 8.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Michel -

 

I am not sure I know what you mean about the use of "Group 255" and KPL's send "Groups 1-8".

 

I also want to clarify that that I am asking about insteon ALL on/off not X-10.

 

Thanks

What about using a program triggered by the KPL?

MikeB -

 

That would be fine, but I guess I have to add all devices to program individually.

Hi Moshe -

 

This might work for you. Give it a try:

 

 

If
       Control 'KPL Button' is switched On
   And Control 'KPL Button' is not switched Off

Then
       Set Scene 'My Lighting' On

Else
       Set Scene 'My Lighting' Off

Thanks - Will this work with the IRLinc Receiver - IR to INSTEON as well.

 

Thanks

Hi Moshe -

 

I'm not sure, I have not tested. If it doesn't, you might want to add additional commands to the THEN and ELSE.
