Keypad 2486D-detecting "control=ON" in a program

[ELA]

I am using an ISY99I program to detect a key push in order to active the program sequence.

The program uses "if control = ON" to activate.

I works fine for me but is failing to operate for others in the household. What I have found is that the others often hold the key too long and it sends a "%On" that is then less than 100% and the program then does not detect it.

I have told others not to hold the key, instead only push it briefly.

I would still like to make the program more robust. Can anyone suggest a method to have it detect regardless of the on percentage (how long the button is held).?

I do not need the "dim feature" for this key.

I understand that the "if status is <> %" can be used but I do not want the program to be re-entrant. Anyone have a proven method for this?

Hi ELA,

 

Something like this should work:

 

If
       Control 'Basement / Basement Lights Indicator' is switched On
    Or Control 'Basement / Basement Lights Indicator' is switched Fast On
    Or Control 'Basement / Basement Lights Indicator' is switched Fade Up

Then
  ...

Thanks for your response Sub-Routine,

 

I will try adding the check for the "fade up". That makes perfect sense.

 

I appreciate your help
