Keypad Scene and Motion Scene Questions

[tsasecurity]

My house has several keypad links in my ISY Automation system. On most keypads all the buttons correspond to different scenes in a room. How in the ISY 99i do I program a keypad so that if it is on Scene B (For instance) and a user presses Scene C then the light for Scene B will turn off (because now the room is in Scene C and not Scene ?

 

On another topic... I have my ISY 99i system programmed so the X10 motion detectors in rooms of the home turn on certain scenes for a room based on the time of day. At night I have a dim scene (Scene A) turn on in the master bedroom. But what if my wife is reading or packing and needs more light? She walks to the keypad link and presses Scene B and the lights brighten. But once she walks back over to the chair she trips the motion detector and the lights return to the dim Scene A. My question is how can I program the system so that when a user manually presses a scene on a room's keypad link it will override the motion scene that would otherwise occur based on the time of day. Once the override is enabled I would then program it to turn off the lights in that room if motion is not detected for an hour

 

 

Any help is appreciated, Thanks

KeypadLinc Button Grouping allows a set of KeypadLinc buttons to be defined as Mutually Exclusive. Press one of the buttons in the Group On turns Off any other button in that Group. This only works for the KeypadLinc where the button is actually pressed. If other KeypadLincs are cross-linked the other KeypadLinc buttons have to be controlled with ISY Programs and Scenes designed to create the appearance of Mutually Exclusive button operation.

 

The Program that triggers on the X10 Motion Sensor will have to add the Status of the KeypadLinc button that turns On Scene B. If that button is On then the Program does not turn On Scene A.
