sfhutchi Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Understanding the issue about a KPL button not being able to include its own load in a scene... what is the best work around that others are using. Specifically, I have multiple KPL's with an 'All Off' button. I have also created an 'All Off' scene. As you would expect, this 'All Off' scene includes all loads with a KPL also. I am thinking about having the 'All Off' scene include all loads that are not KPLs and having one separate trigger that will manually turn off all KPLs. I would initiate this trigger with any one of the All Off buttons. Any other ideas out there?
Mark Sanctuary Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 I think you have to do the last link (keypadlinc dimmer button to keypadlinc non-dimmer button) at the keypadlinc because the keypadlincs will get confused if they do the linking by Insteon command remotely. Also if I remember this is a feature of the keypadlincs that is sometimes buggy so you may have to fiddle with it to get to work. If memory is correct you want to do the dimmer keypadlinc linking after making the scene because it can get erased, or was it before linking the scene because it won't link correctly if the scene is already linked. This was stuff I read about a year ago on the smarthome forum. I have noticed that the backlight on the non-dimmer buttons is following their linked scenes now so this is causing my keypadlinc "all lights on" button to not work when the keypadlinc dimmer is off. When the keypadlinc dimmer light is turned back on then my keypadlinc "all lights on" button works again.

As far as your KPLs not working properly (for the non-dimmer mode/toggle) we should have it fixed in the next release. Thanks so very much for both of your contributions, With regards,
