kagale Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 How do I create an Insteon KeypadLinc "LED follow scene"? I want to have a Keypad button initiate a program to turn on an attic fan for 1 hour and then to turn off the fan and extinguish the keypad LED. Your site implies that a LED follow scene will do that since the individual keypad LEDs are not directly accessible.
LeeG Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 kagale If the KeypadLinc button controlling the fan is the primary load control button it can be turned Off directly by the Program. If the KeypadLinc button is a Secondary button an ISY Scene must be used to turn the KeypadLinc button Off. Define an ISY Scene. Under the My Lighting tree right, click on the KeypadLinc Secondary button, select Add to Scene and add button as a Responder to the Scene. In the Program turn the ISY Scene Off to turn the Secondary KeypadLinc button Off. Lee
Goose66 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Alternatively, put the KPL button in the 'Ceiling Fan Scene' as a controller and the fan in the scene as a responder. Then write a program: IF 'KPL Button' is switched On AND 'KPL Button' is not switched Off THEN WAIT 1 hour Set Scene 'Ceiling Fan Scene' Off ELSE - No Statements- Since the KPL button is a controller, the LED will turn off when the scene is turned off. This also allows you to turn off the fan with the KPL button (thus cancelling the 1 hour wait program) without having to write a seperate program for off.
kagale Posted May 3, 2011 Author Posted May 3, 2011 Thank you both. My problem was in finding out how to turn scenes on and off. Under "Action" there is an "adjust scene" which lead me down the wrong road.
