Programming Fan Controller and Keypad - Not Sure What I'm Doing Wrong

I purchased a fan controller and keypad to use with a Hunter fan. I attempted to use the Wiki found here to program this, but I'm having issues: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY994i:INSTEON_Device:FanLinc-KPL_FanLinc_KeypadLinc_Configuration

I think that I did everything correctly, but I can't find the option to "Copy Scene Attributes from." The keypad has no LEDs on and doesn't seem to do anything if I hit the buttons. I tried activating one of the scenes within the administration panel and that also does not appear to work. What's odd is that one of the scenes actually turned the lights off on the fan, even though the lights aren't part of the scene. I don't understand how that can happen. I'm pretty sure that my wiring is accurate as it's color coded.

When I control the fan/light directly from the fan controller within ISY, it seems to work fine.

What is your ISY UI and Firmware? How did you wire your fanlinc and kpl? Sounds like you may have wired your kpl to directly control your lights! The red wire on the kpl should be capped off and the line wire to the fan should be connected to the power and line switch on the kpl together.

Copy and paste the actual scenes that you created. You must configure the controllers in each scene as well as the scene itself.

I have version 5.0.16C. The KPL is wired to hot/neutral that I pulled to the box. It's not connected to the Fanlinc. I have the lights connected to the blue wire on the Fanlinc. Stupid question, but how do I copy the scenes to paste them here?

is the red wire capped off on your kpl? if you have windows you can use the snipping tool to take a shot of everything and then copy and paste as normal with the picture.

I have the black and white wire to the hot and neutral from the ceiling line. The red wire on the fan controller goes to the black wire from the fan. The blue fan wire goes to the blue wire on the fan controller. I should have the picture up in a few minutes.

Did you configure the controllers as well? The controllers are whats in red

That's what was confusing me. The instructions say to Copy Scene Attributes, but I don't see where to do that.

Theres no copy scene attributes in 5.0 You need to configure the controllers for each scene as well

Is there a good wiki for this? I don't think I actually understand what I need to do to configure the controllers. I'm definitely more of a novice, and I don't have a lot of experience configuring the ISY.

The page you linked to is a good source. All you are doing is clicking on each controller and configuring each device the way you did for the scene itself. You set the fan to be the speed you want for that scene and the other buttons would be set to off.

I will fix that now. Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.
