Needing help with programs on isy994.

[ingeborgdot]

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.

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.

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.

Both firmware and UI match.  I have checked that first.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. ?
