Cannot get EISY Program written. Request guidance.

[awzulich]

Good evening

I had a program in ISY that I am not able to duplicate in EISY. I have a ceiling fan (2475F FanLinc) that has buttons for low and medium speeds. If i turn on one of the low speed buttons, I would like the program to switch off the medium buttons should they be on, shut down the fan, wait five seconds, and turn the fan on low. The program I want is below, and I cannot task the medium switches to turn off under "Then". My choices are Query, Backlight or Write Changes.

Am I overthinking this?

______________________
Fan Low On - [ID 0014][Parent 0001]

If
        'LR Table - E - Fan Low' is switched On
     Or 'LR Left KPL - E - Fan Low' is switched On
 
Then

*******     'LR Table - F - Fan Med' is switched Off (No option to add this command to "Then) (Just Query, Backlight, Write Changes)
*******     'LR Left KPL - F - Fan Med' is switched Off  (No option to add this command to "Then)  (Just Query, Backlight, Write Changes)
 
        Set 'LR Ceiling Fan-Motor' Off
        Wait  5 seconds

        Set 'LR Ceiling Fan-Motor' Low
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I don't understand why you want to turn the fan off first. This adds more chances to glitch the control with elctrical spikes causing damage to the circuits,

Hi Larry

I suppose I may not understand the fan mechanism. If the fan is running on medium speed, and I ask to switch it to low, would the most recent command take precedence, and not create a conflict of two speed commands (low/medium) interfering? if not, I would not need to shut the fan off first.

That said, my original question of how to program shutting off the fan medium wall switches when I change to low speed still remains.

Thanks for your input

@awzulich You need to put the KPL and the fanlinc into two different scenes wiht each Low and medium KPL buttopn as a controller for its scene. In the scene Fan Low... you shut off the medium  KPL and turn the fanlinc to low. In the medium you change do the opposite. 

You then dont even need a program to change the speed of the fan. To turn it off, you simply turn the low or medium KPL off. 

Am not sure if this is another switch you use as well-->    'LR Table - E - Fan Low' is switched On

If it is, you can either add it as a controller to the scenes above or write a program based on the switch that will trigger the KPL scene. 

Below is an example of how I have four scenes (6 button KPL) where each of the four buttons, A,B, C, D control the fan. 

No programs needed to switch speeds or turn it off. Turning it off has two choices, pressing hte KPL that is on, or pressing D button.

Thank you both. Thank you both. With the above info, I got it working.

Thanks again.
