Insteon keypad button linked to scene with action OFF does not work?

Featured Replies

Posted

Hi All,

I have a scene which includes three Insteon switches. The scene is configured so that one switch is ON and the other two are OFF. So the scene only turns on one switch but always turns off all three switches. Using a 6-btn keypad, I have one of the (non-primary) buttons set as a controller for the scene. The issue is, pressing the button will turn on all three switches even though the scene is not configured that way? If I trigger the scene manually from the admin console it works as expected. Any ideas why I'm seeing this behavior?

Did you set everything in the controller as well or just the actual scene in the isy?

Not sure I understand - I've only ever used the ISY to configure my insteon devices. Is there something else I need to do?

I did write the changes to the devices.

When you create a scene, you must set the device states in the scene itself and on the controller.

Because your scene works properly when you control the scene but not manually, It sounds like you only set your device parameters in the scene.

Look at the scene you created. Click on your controller device (the controller is red). You'll have to set your device parameters there as well

Wow, I've been using the ISY for like 10 years now and never knew this! Thanks for the help!

You're welcome. Glad I could assist

New to ISY after Insteon controller crashed.  Got most of units working but want to change states from controller in red to responder in blue.  How do I reset teh parameters?

Welcome to the forum

Are you referring to the device in a scene?  If so you will need to delete it from the scene then re-add it as a responder.

If you're not referring to a scene then most devices are both controllers and responders, that option can't be changed.

If this didn't answer your question then give a more detailed description of what you want to do and with what device.

Welcome to the UDI forums!

What does "controller crashed" mean? Was it an Insteon Hub? How old is the unit? I wonder if the Hubs have power supply capacitor problems also?

Yes, they have.  I had a power supply fail in a Hub that a relative owns.  Smarthome acknowledged the issue, and sent a free replacement for this unit (I think there's a link somewhere on the Insteon or Smarthome forums that explains the replacement program for these Hubs).

Smarthome must have bought  thousands of poor quality caps and now have realised it, starting to admit it, and trying to backpaddle furiously. Hopefully it won't put them in the ground.

They've been doing that for at least the past year with the hub
