KeyPad Lincs and Controlling button lights

Featured Replies

Posted

Ok, I have been banging my head against the wall for two days now. This is what I am looking to do. I have 3 Keypads and I want the "E" button to be used to turn on one particular scene "1 Floor Lights". I am able to do this with out an issue by creating a scene with the lights I wanted to include set up as responders and the "E" buttons setup as controllers. Also, I created another scene to control the KeyPad button lights called "KPA-E", which I added the three "E" buttons as responders.

 

Now, what I want to do is to illuminate the "E" buttons whenever one of the lights in "1 Floor Lights" scene is turned on. This is what I tried so far:

 

KPE-On Program

If
       Status  'Kitchen-Main Lights' is On
       Or Status  'Den Light' is On
       Or Status  'Kitchen-Sink Light' is On
Then
       Set Scene 'KPA-E' On

Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

 

KPE-Off Program

If
       Status  'Kitchen-Main Lights' is Off
   And Status  'Den Light' is Off
   And Status  'Kitchen-Sink Light' is Off

Then
       Set Scene 'KPA-E' Off

Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

 

I know this should be a simple program but I am not able to wrap my head around this.

I don't know whether your devices are dimmers, but I understand that dimmed is not necessarily "on". I have a similar program to yours, but with a subtle difference:

 

If
       Status  'Bedroom / SW MBTH Master Bath Vanity Li' is not Off
    Or Status  'Bedroom / PM MBR Candle' is not Off
    Or Status  'Bedroom / KP KBA Nightstand Lamp' is not Off
    Or Status  'Bedroom / OTL MBR Front Wall' is not Off

Then
       Set Scene 'Bedroom Control' On

Else
       Set Scene 'Bedroom Control' Off

 

Perhaps using the condition "not off" would work for you?

@oberkc - Yes, all three KPL's are dimmers and I will give your solution a try.

 

@ Lee - I am having intermittent issues with both conditions but I am having more with the off program.

I am having intermittent issues

 

Is this to say that sometimes your programs work, but sometimes not? And that your "off" program is more intermittent than the others?

Yes sir and BTW your suggestions seems to have resolved the issues I was having. I guess the dimmers were the cause of the problem. Thanks again!
