iLinc Scene won't turn off LED on KPL

[mvgossman]

Created a scene that turns on some lights and turns some others off including a KPL button. Individually went through each item in the scene to adjust "on" or "off" by selecting the scene in the left pane and going through each responder on the right pane. I do not see the KPL button in the list of responders on the right so I cannot adjust the scene to turn the KPL button off.

 

Looks like from iLinc, to activate the scene, you hit "ON"? What happens, then, is the scene turns ON the KPL button. It appears that if you select "FAST ON", all the lights that were to go off instead go on.

 

If it helps understand what I'm talking about, this involves a "TV" button that turns off the overhead lights, turns on a couple table lamps, and the KPL button corresponding to the overhead lights should also turn off.

 

It's not a major deal, but it does mean that the KPL does not reflect the correct state of the overhead lights.

Hi Mitch,

 

This sounds like a scene/KPL setup issue within ISY. Maybe someone else on the forums who are experts with scenes and KPL button issues may be able to help you better than I.

 

The behavior you see with the Fast On vs the On command from iLinc sounds like the right behavior. On will activiate the scene to the predetermined scene light levels.

That behavior is correct.

 

When you create a scene, you create a bright level and ramp rate response for that device when it hears an ON signal from the linked controller. Only the ON triggers that response.

 

Other commands, OFF, BRIGHT, DIM, FASTON and FASTOFF, prompt the response programmed at the factory. The FASTON command turns the device on 100% instantly no matter the programmed ON level/ramp rate, and FASTOFF turns the device off instantly (no ramp rate).

I don't think the ISY allows a scene ON command to turn a KeypadLinc secondary button off. The work-around would be to remove the KPL button from that first scene entirely. Create a new scene with just that KPL button in it, then create a program:

 

If
       Status  'My Light' is Off

Then
       Set Scene 'Keypad Button D' Off

Else
