Device On Level Incorrect In GUI

[IndyMike]

My apologies if this is already a known item. I'm running V2.7.15 and can repeatably show loss of synchronization with virtually any dimmer module.

 

The problem (not sure I can call this a bug) occurs on the second "ON" press of a dimmer module.

 

Setup: 2476D programmed for an on level of 50%

 

First button press (on): Lamp goes to p reprogrammed 50%

[standard-Group][00.37.AD-->Group=1] Max Hops=3, Hops Left=2

[ 0 37 AD 1] DON 0

[ 0 37 AD 1] ST 127 (ISY Correctly infers the on level of 50%)

[iNST-SRX ] 02 50 00.37.AD 0C.A8.B4 41 11 01 LTONRR (01)

[standard-Cleanup][00.37.AD-->ISY/PLM Group=1] Max Hops=1, Hops Left=0

 

Second button press (on): Lamp goes to 100%

 

[iNST-SRX ] 02 50 00.37.AD 00.00.01 CB 11 00 LTONRR (00)

[standard-Group][00.37.AD-->Group=1] Max Hops=3, Hops Left=2

[ 0 37 AD 1] DON 0

(note that the ISY Status is not updated - the GUI indicates 50% when the lamp is at 100%)

[standard-Cleanup][00.37.AD-->ISY/PLM Group=1] Max Hops=1, Hops Left=0

 

As I said above, I just ran across this - I'm not sure if this existed in previous revisions. Nor is it causing me any real problems. I do think it could be a source of confusion for people.

 

The problem with the above is that the dimmer is not sending any actual level information. The ISY sees a "group ON" and infers the level based on the unit programming. In order to track multiple button presses (not fast on) the ISY would need to look at the current on level and Infer that an additional press would send the unit to 100%. Not sure if this is a reasonable request.

Hello IM,

 

Would you be kind enough to let me know how the second button press sends the device to 100%? Is it fast on? Normally, if fast on is not sent, ISY infers that the device should go to the on level as it's programmed.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Hello Michel,

 

The devices in question are Switchlincs and 6 button KPL's.

 

Pressing the top rocker on the SWL (or on of the KPL) sends the device to the pre-programmed level. A second press sends the device to 100% (the second press can be hours later - not a fast on).

 

I did a bit more experimenting and verified that the ISY correctly recognized both fast on and bright/dim from the modules.
