Jay E Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 Hello! I was lucky enough to have an ISY and PLM as a back up to my Insteon hub. Now to get it up and running! So far it has been going very well. I use an IOLinc to open, close and monitor my garage door. Garage door open = Keypad button on, closed = off. Worked great for years. Now I start messing with the settings to set up a link to Amazon Echo so I can ask Alexa if the door is open. That works properly, however that only works if the sensor is "on" when the door is closed. How do I turn the Keypad button on when the sensor goes off? Looking for any ideas, tip and tricks to take full advantage of what this thing ca do. Thank you!

A scene relationship will not work for this case. I believe a program is the solution you will need for this. Assuming that you also want the opposite (button off when sensor on), such a program could look something like: if sensor is on then turn off button scene* else turn on button scene* *Most keypad buttons cannot be directly turned on or off. Most likely you will need to put the button into a scene and have the program control the scene.
