IOLinc relay engages when an ON command sent to My Lighting?

[MikeB]

It seems that my IOLincs engage their relays if an INSTEON ALL ON command is received.

 

Can anyone confirm that their IOLinc relay engages when an ON is sent to My Lighting?

 

I have a pair of IOLincs controlling my garage doors. I planned on having a rule in my Elk that would send an ON to My Lighting if my alarm went off. However, I certainly wouldn't want my garage doors opening!

 

Thanks

The I/O Linc Relay is a Responder, just like a LampLinc, ApplianceLinc, SwitchLinc, etc. Sending it an On command turns the Relay On.

EDIT: sorry, the question was obviously does it respond to an All On to My Lighting. YES. Ran it on my system and I/O Linc Relay turns On in response to the All On button for My Lighting. All On sends a Fast On to Group 255. For the reason I originally stated except it is reacting to a Fast On instead of an On.

Thanks for the confirmation!

There isn't an 'all lights on' command per se in the Insteon vocabulary. The ISY's 'My Lighting' scene is misnamed--commanding it actually controls all devices linked to the ISY's PLM.

 

The solution is to create and turn on/off a Lights scene that only contains your lights, regardless of whether they are being powered by a dimmer or relay device.
