jp5150 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Hi everyone, Let's say I have a "watch TV" scene that is activated by KeypadLinc Button B. When I press Button B, the button's LED turns on, and the scene is activated. Scene "Watch TV" Lamp1: 40% Lamp2: 60% Overhead light: off Deck light: off Can I have the LED of Button B turn of if anything changes on the scene. For example, if Lamp2 is Dimmed to 25%, or the Deck light is turned on? If yes, can the same logic be applied if any other device that is not in the scene is activated?

For example, if Lamp2 is Dimmed to 25%, or the Deck light is turned on? Sure. Create a scene that has just the keypad button as a responder and a program that watched for a change in status and turned off that scene. For instance: If Status 'Lamp 1' is 40% And Status 'Lamp 2' is 60% And Status 'Overhead Light' is Off And Status 'Deck Light' is Off Then Wait 2 seconds Set Scene '~ Keypad Status Scenes / Foyer B Status Scene' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') For this to work, you have to make settings changes via an Insteon switch rather than using local control with a module. Local control changes are not reported back to the ISY, so they wouldn't trigger the program.

By module here, you are meaning something like an appliancelinc or lamplinc (no report back to ISY), vice a switchlinc or a keylinc pad (which will report a change)? * Orest
fitzpatri8 Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Exactly. Plug-in modules including Icon modules, ApplianceLincs and older LampLincs don't transmit a control signal when their set button is pressed or local control (toggling the switch built into the load) turns on power to the load.
