using scene test in scenes where everything isn't on

[apostolakisl]

My scene testing has gone quite well but for one scene that is very large. It is the only scene where I have some items set to be off. Does having items in the scene set to "off" mess with the scene test?

Hello apostolakisl,

 

Based on your input, now the scene test turns everything ON before sending the OFF command and wait for responses.

 

With kind regards,

Michel,

 

Yes, I see that it turns the scene on and that is wonderful and more than I had hoped for. I had just expected a message telling the user to do that rather than ISY actually doing it for you.

 

But, my question is a little different. In the scene test that fails, some devices in the scene are set to be "off" when the scene is "on". So, turning the scene "on" turns "off" some devices and then turning the scene "off" just leaves those things "off". How, if at all, does this affect the results of the scene test.

Hi Lou,

 

I am so very sorry ... I misunderstood your question. That's a really tough one!

I am really not sure what the impact is. The only reason we turn the scene on is to make sure the problem is NOT load related.

 

So, perhaps we should make that process manual again.

 

With kind regards,

Hello Lou,

 

If you'll allow me to rephrase your question:

 

Q: Will a device that is set to "off" in a scene cause a scene test failure.

 

I believe the answer is no. i just tried setting one of my dimmers to "off" in my basement scene (7 devices). The scene test commands the scene on (my dimmer turns off) and all devices pass the test.
