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!

The UDI Wiki has lots of tips, videos and how to pages. The ISY Cookbook available there is also a great help. Along with the users here.

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.

Yes! That worked.

Thank you!
