August 10, 201114 yr I'm looking at trying to replicate the 911 locator switch (Used in conjunction with your call for assistance, this solves the problem of nighttime house identification for emergency personnel by having your outdoor or porch light flash cutting response time to insure effective action. http://www.smarthome.com/4237/911-Locat ... ncy/p.aspx) with a scene. Basically, I want to be able to activate a scene, and make exterior lights flash on/off. I'm worried medical/emt etc etc will not be able to find the house quickly... Any ideas on how to trigger something like this?
August 11, 201114 yr The only way that comes to my mind would be to use a program. If emergency condition exists then turn porch lights on wait 1 second turn porch light off wait one second repeat else
August 11, 201114 yr Author Sounds easy enough. Any suggestions on how to trigger the condition to trigger this?
August 11, 201114 yr Well, it would be simple enough to duplicate the referenced locator switch by using an insteon switch as a trigger. Take your pick, but it is probably simpler to use a relay type. If you choose this route: if status insteon switch is on then turn porch lights on wait 1 second turn porch light off wait one second repeat else If you are a tinkerer, you may be able to create trigger from some other device integrated with an IOLinc. The solution comes down to the human interface you desire.
