paulw Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 In using a RemoteLinc to control an EZFlora (due to tidal issues, we run our system manually), I found the buttons a little too sensitive to wrong entries. So, I am trying to use “ergodic’s†example in the Wiki to program the on buttons for three pushes before starting any zone. I used the same grouping of a control and body program for each push as in the example. In my current testing mode, I am only turning on a light not the EZFlora. When I programmed one button, all seemed well. I copied the code over to three other buttons and changed the labels to make unique code for each switch. All code has been checked and rechecked, and again....... I am seeing some very strange behavior when a pushing RL buttons. For a couple of switches the program state changes (in program summary) are slow taking place for each push. The other two switches are very prompt. There are times (not always) that another button’s body program will go true on one of the pushes of an unrelated button, sometimes the second push, sometimes the third push. Always seems to be the same program going true. The body programs only have “then†code. I even tried disabling the body programs as they are always controlled by a run, no change. Has anyone had problems with copying code? Or, any other ideas.
paulw Posted June 24, 2010 Author Posted June 24, 2010 Decided to get at it with a rested brain, for whatever good that is. For starters I deleted the program that was running which should not have been and re-coded it (no change). After that I found the following log entry which would make me suspect a RL issue. It is from two pushes of the same B button. Thu 06/24/2010 05:47:16 AM : [ 11 C8 44 2] DON 0 Thu 06/24/2010 05:47:18 AM : [ 11 C8 44 1] DON 2
paulw Posted June 24, 2010 Author Posted June 24, 2010 Here is a more detail log, of the same issue, two pushes of the same RL button. The only insteon network activity should be from the push of the button, nothing should be generated from the ISY or elsewhere. I know little on reading the log, any pointers there would be appreciated. I do know that the entry "Thu 06/24/2010 05:56:43 AM : [ 11 C8 44 1] DON 3" is the one that is kicking my unwanted program true.

LeeG Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 A RemoteLinc (and other Insteon RF devices) send 2 Group Broadcast messages for a single button press. Not sure if that is contributing to the difficulty as the messages from the first button press have not completed before the second button press messages start.

First thing is to get rid of the device 0A.9D.32 traffic to keep traffic simple. Second would be to wait a few seconds between the first and second button press on the RemoteLinc to allow the first button press traffic to complete before starting the 2nd button press traffic
paulw Posted June 24, 2010 Author Posted June 24, 2010 Thanks for the response. Pointed me away from focusing on the switching code. Problem turned out to be the device you identified, appears to just be a timing issue. All is well, thanks again.
