jpoje Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 I have a scene where an icon relay wall switch controls on/off for 2 devices, (1) my office hihats (the load connected to the switch) and (2) a desk lamp (plugged into an appliancelinc). Both devices go on/off together with the one icon switch. What I would like to do, is to be able to tap on the switch one time for the desk lamp to come on, and then tap a second time, if I wish to put on the hihats. (Didn't really want to purchase another keypadlinc just to control these 2 devices separately). Would an ISY program be able to accomplish this task? Or, will the hihats always have to come on because it is the load on the switch? If a program could accomplish this, could someone please provide a sample program? Thanks for all your help.
TJF1960 Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Hi jpoje, The hihats will always turn on since they are the load connected to the Icon switch. You could do a program such as: If Control 'Icon Switch' is Switched Fast Off Then Wait 2 seconds Set Appliancelinc On Else You will have to put a wait in before turning on the appliancelinc since the device is linked to the Icon and in effect when you Fast Off the switch you are turning the appliancelinc off as well, so the wait will have to be long enough for the comm. to stop from the Off command.

apostolakisl Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 How about If status Icon switch is not off and control icon switch is switched on then set table lamp on If status icon switch is off and control icon switch is switched off then set table lamp off You would want to delete the scene connecting the two switches. If the switch were on and you clicked on again, it would turn the table lamp on. If the switch were off and clicked off again, it would tunr the table lamp off. You could play with this general theme using fast on/fast off as well for different combos. But, as mentioned, the light connected directly to the switch will always turn on when you click on or fast on, and always turn off when you click off or fast off.
jpoje Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 Another great suggestion. I will remove lamp from the scene and try your program next. THANKS SO MUCH, I really appreciate the help!!!
