KeypadLinc Relay (2486S) v.36

 

I am trying to program button A on this KeypadLinc to control a scene in which the load is turned off. I get the above message when I try to set the on level for the load to off.

 

It seems reasonable to me that a KPL could enable a scene that turned it's load off.

 

Do I need to resort to a program to do this?

 

Thanks.

My understanding is that current versions of most devices support "off" as a viable response to a scene "on" command. Are you suggesting that, when you select button A within the scene definition, "off" is not an option you can choose for the load-controlling device?

 

Yes, a program can do this also, but I did not think it necessary.

The ISY admin console will not let me set 0 as the level for the main KPL load for the sub-button (A in this case)'s configuration within the scene.

jch,

 

Unfortunately you can not set it to 0. You have to set it to 2% and that's the limitation of the KPL mapping.

 

With kind regards,

Michel,

 

This is a KeypadLinc Relay, so 2% is not an option.

 

However, if I try setting it to a small percentage I get told that that is not valid and am prompted for On/Off and Cancel. Selecting Off sets the On Level to zero. But that value seems to be ignored, i.e. it will not cause the load to turn off.

 

Using a program to turn the load off works, but is a bit weird because of the delay.

 

I believe that I will need to swap the load with another one that is not part of the scenes. Then I can use the A-D buttons independently of the On/Off for the load.

 

Thanks.

Hi Jeff,

 

We did go back and forth with SH on this specific topic many times. For some reason, no matter what we put in the memory location, a sub button cannot turn off the load.

 

Unfortunately, there's no way around this. I am so very sorry.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Michel,

 

So I believe you have a minor bug in that your check for trying to set the level to zero can be bypassed if you try to set a KPL Relay to 2% and get the warning about only On and Off being allowed. Selecting Off will set the level to zero.

 

Thanks.

Hi Jeff,

 

You are correct. This must be a bug.

 

With kind regards,

Michel
