hart2hart Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 I just added 8 button keypadlinc. I want three buttons to follow the state of 3 programs corresponding. My thought was to turn the button on in the then branch and turn it off in the else branch. Please clue me in as to the nomenclature of Insteon command action for keypadlinc buttons with format of: On 99 / Off 99 (Backlight Level)
LeeG Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 hart2hart The Backlight sets the KeypadLinc backlight LED level. It does not set the button LED ON/OFF. To turn a KeypadLinc Secondary button LED On/Off define an ISY Scene and assign a KeypadLinc Secondary button as a Responder to the Scene. In the Program Set Insteon "scene name" ON or OFF to turn the KeypadLinc Secondary button ON or OFF. Lee
hart2hart Posted May 9, 2011 Author Posted May 9, 2011 Okay Thanks. I also want the button to run the then or else branch of the program to set its state. How do I do this without infinite loop? My first thought was make KPL button a controller instead of responder but I think this would create loop issue.
LeeG Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 hart2hart To have a Program triggered by a KeypadLinc button press add an If Control keypadlinc-button is ON And Control keypadlinc-button is not OFF The On button press runs the Then, the Off button press runs the Else Turning the KPL LED On/Off with a Program does not generate a button Control event so no loop issue.
