RemoteLinc

[jcip]

I would like the RemoteLinc buttons to execute programs in the ISY 99i PRO. However, the last state of the buttons are not maintained in the ISY. Does this matter? When I hit a button on the RemoteLinc will is simply send an ON or OFF signal to the ISY? Can I then write a program that picks up on that signal through an "IF" statement and executes a program? Is is that simple?

Pretty much. Here's an example of a program that I use with a RemoteLinc:

 

If
       Control 'RemoteLinc: Button 1' is switched On
Then
       Set 'Some Light' On
Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

There's a bit of a delay, but it works great.

Brad77's program above does NOT work for me. Anyone have any idea why not? My ISY does not appear to recognize my Remotelincs in an IF statement.

Hello mflieger,

 

Before any of the programs working, you have to make sure that ISY actually "hears" the button presses on your RL. As such, please open the Tools | Diagnostics | Event Viewer, change the level to 3, then click each and every one of your RL buttons and let me know if you see any "DON" or "DOF" records.

 

If not, I strongly recommend removing the RL from ISY, doing a factory reset on it, and then add it back in. Please do ensure that you do NOT use any of the 1..6 buttons to take the RL out of programming mode since, by doing so, that button will never report its status to ISY.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

What is this about? I don't remember seeing this documented anywhere.

Hello upstatemike,

 

As of late, we have noticed that when you are adding an RL to ISY, if you use any of the 1-6 buttons to get OUT of programming mode, then that button does not report its status to ISY.

 

With kind regards,

I just let mine timeout.

I never used a 1-6 button but poorly chose a button that would turned the LED off or the Beeper.

You can use the All Off or the Dim button without affecting other settings.
