ingeborgdot Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 I programmed my isy994 many years ago and have not had to touch it since for programs until my PLM went bad and now I have issues. First can anyone tell me the scenario of the colors of the programs and why they are not the same? Why are some green on the left side and white, some are yellow, some are all green, and one is white with a green arrow. I think we need to start there first. In the summary, some are yellow and say not loaded, out of memory and some say not saved. Thanks.
mwester Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 Most common reason for the "not loaded", "out of memory", and "not saved" messages is that the UI version doesn't match the firmware version -- check that first.
larryllix Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 Yellow means something wrong Solid Green means running Then now Hollow green means ran Then last Solid Red means running Else now Hollow Red means ran Else last Green arrow means updating is waiting 1011 means binary is writing to device or failed last attempt depending on colour. 1
ingeborgdot Posted May 24, 2020 Author Posted May 24, 2020 Both firmware and UI match. I have checked that first.
ingeborgdot Posted May 24, 2020 Author Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) One of my programs is called basement light check off and another is called basement light check on. I have it set on a KPL to light up if lights are on downstairs and I can hit the button to shut them off. Now, the light is on in the keypad and it won't shut off the lights downstairs and the keypad light will not go off. I am attaching a copy of the program to see what I'm doing wrong. It is the same one that has worked for years. It just quit working and won't start up again. You don't know how much I appreciate everyone's help. Thanks so much. Edited May 24, 2020 by ingeborgdot
apostolakisl Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 sounds like a kpl problem, not a program problem. Do the other kpl buttons work? Have you tried a factory reset on the kpl and restore? I have an old kpl that does stuff like that sometimes. I should buy a new one, but I can always seem to get it to come back to life with a factory reset or two.
oberkc Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 I don't see anything in the programs that would cause the problem you describe. I am of the same mindset as apostolakisl...if pressing the keypad button does not turn it on/off, the button is either not in a correct toggle mode, or it has failed. I would take the steps he is recommending. Before that, confirm the button is in "toggle" mode or "non-toggle - off" mode. Additionally, open the event viewer and watch it while someone presses the keypad button. Does the event viewer register any commands? Does the keypad button flash when pressed?
ingeborgdot Posted May 24, 2020 Author Posted May 24, 2020 What mode should it be in? toggle or non-toggle mode?
apostolakisl Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 2 hours ago, ingeborgdot said: What mode should it be in? toggle or non-toggle mode? normally toggle. Meaning click changes the state from its current state (on or off) to the other state (off or on). Non-toggle means every click is an an on click, or, every click is an off click, depends on which you choose when setting it up.
ingeborgdot Posted May 24, 2020 Author Posted May 24, 2020 Well, in this program, the only thing this button is supposed to do is to turn off every light that is on in that room. Would that be toggle? Thanks.
oberkc Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 4 hours ago, ingeborgdot said: Would that be toggle? If your only purpose is to turn lights off, I would have it in "non-toggle (off)" mode. Every press of the button sends an OFF command. But...this does not necessarily explain why it once worked and now does not, unless you think there is a possibility that this changed somehow.
ingeborgdot Posted May 25, 2020 Author Posted May 25, 2020 The only thing that doesn't work with this program is that the light on the led button does not turn off. It turns of the lights like it is supposed to. The other thing I notice with several of the other programs that involve the same shut off is the lights on the led button don't turn on to let me know that lights are on. I'll keep trying but I am at a loss.
ingeborgdot Posted May 25, 2020 Author Posted May 25, 2020 Well, I got it to work. I just went in and exported the programs. I imported them, deleted the old programs, did a restore to all, and now the programs are working.. Woo hoo. ? 1
