remotelinc programming, does it need to be in linc mode?

[neupane00]

i have big scenes that take about 5 minutes to be processed. DO I NEED to have remote linc in linking mode while making changes.

For example,

 

i am make a scene called "ONLY basement light" .. that means all other lights off... so far so good.

 

now if i want to have button A of remotelinc to be controller of that scene, before dropping button A in that scene as controller, do i need to put remotelinc in linking mode? does it need to be in linking mode the entire time? cuz that scene adding button A process takes about 5 minutres and remotelinc goes out of linking more in less than 4 mintues

 

please advise.

 

thanks again.

Hello neupane00,

 

If you have 99i Pro you can turn off the RF devices update button at the top of the console. You can drop the RL button into the scene with the other devices, after they all are linked then put the RL in linking mode and press the RF button again to write the links to the RL.

 

If you do not have the pro version you can add all of the devices to the scene, once they are all written to, put the RL into linking mode then add the RL to the scene. You could add the RL at the same time with all the other devices into the scene without putting the RL into link mode but the ISY will attempt to link to the RL which will then make the process longer and in the end the RL button will have the green flag next to it. At that time you could put the RL into linking mode then right click on the node and select "write updates."
