newbie - creating scene on isy99 problem.

[neupane00]

what am i doing wrong guys. im total newbie so please be patient.

 

i have isy99 . installed by some insteon professional guy. he did most the jobs. Now i am just trying to add a scene. I added a scene. and added a button from my 8 button keypad (button H) as a controller. when i run that scene thru my iphone, it works perfectly. and even that button "H" on that 8-button keypad lights up. all good.

BUT when i physically press that "H" key in that keypad (which is supposed to be controller). It just blinks 2 times and goes off. Only that keypad button blinks, no chnages to lights in the scene. Any one has any ideas?

keypad button blinks

 

This tends to suggest a communication problem, between your keypad and one of the scene's devices (this includes, potentially, the PLM). Where is your PLM plugged? Is it in the same outlet or cirucuit that includes a lot of computer stuff, such as surge supressor or UPS? Do you have any access points or other dual-band devices? Are they confirmed on opposite legs of your electrical power supply?

 

In the ISY-99 admin panel, open event viewer. While opened, press button H. Do you see any event in the viewer suggesting acknowledgement of this button press? In the amin control panel, if you select the H button from the "my lighting" tree, do you see the status change as you press this button?

 

What other devices are in the scene?

Blinking twice and going out indicates the KeypadLinc button H is in Non-Toggle Off Mode. In this mode it only sends Off commands. If it blinks more than twice (3-4 times) on older KeypadLincs it indicates a comm problem or link problem. Smartlabs did away with the multiple blink reaction to comm. problems several firmware releases ago.

 

Under the Admin Console, in the My Lighting tree, left click the Button H node and select Buttons Toggle Mode button. Left click on Button H and click Toggle On/Off button at bottom of popup. This will put the KeypadLinc button H back into Toggle On/Off Mode (the default).
