propman07 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Hello- I'm relatively new to Insteon, the ISY-99i, and programming, so I apologize in advance if this question has been answered before. I have two 6 button KPLs that I have controlling a set of lights in the living room. Button A on both KPLs turns on the lights to 100%. Button C on both KPLs is set to turn on the lights to 25%. If I press A on either keypad, the lights turn on to 100%, and both KPLs show the A button lit up. The same thing is true for the Button C option. Now....my question.... If I press Button C on one of the KPLs, the lights go on to 25%. If I want to turn the lights on to 100%, I press Button A, and the lights go on to 100%, BUT now both KPLs show Button A and Button C lit up. In this situation, I would like Button A to be lit up (the active condition), and Button C to be dim. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
LeeG Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Define two ISY Scenes. One ISY Scene xxxx has both KPL button As as responders. The other ISY Scene yyyy has both KPL button Cs as responders. Define an ISY Program that triggers from button A press on either KPL and have the Then clause Set Scene yyyy Off which will turn Off the C buttons. Define another ISY Program that triggers from button C press on either KPL and the Then clause Set Scene xxxx Off which will turn Off the A buttons.
LeeG Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 If Control 'KeypadLinc Dimmer 6 Button / KeypadLinc 1 Dimmer 6 Button A' is switched On Or Control 'KeypadLinc Dimmer 6 Button / KeypadLinc 2 Dimmer 6 Button A' is switched On Then Set Scene 'SceneCButttons' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') If Control 'KeypadLinc Dimmer 6 Button / KeypadLinc 1 Dimmer 6 Button C' is switched On Or Control 'KeypadLinc Dimmer 6 Button / KeypadLinc 2 Dimmer 6 Button C' is switched On Then Set Scene 'SceneAButttons' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
propman07 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Posted February 7, 2012 LeeG- Thanks for the reply. I'll give that a try later today.
propman07 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Posted February 7, 2012 LeeG- Thanks again for taking the time to reply with such a detailed solution, including the two programs. Here is what happened. Created scenes as described above (listed below). Created programs as described above (listed below). When KPL A is pressed, lights come on as expected. KPL C is pressed, lights change to different dim setting (as expected), but KPL A stays illuminated. *** NOTE *** The programs and scenes below have been corrected, and function correctly. See the last post in this thread for more information. Scene A Buttons (All as responders) Backdoor Porch - A Front Entryway - A Master Bedroom Switch - A Scene C Buttons (All as responders) Backdoor Porch - C Front Entryway - C Master Bedroom Switch - C Programs: Scene A Buttons Off If Control 'Hardware / Backdoor Porch - C' is switched On Or Control 'Hardware / Front Entryway - C' is switched On Or Control 'Hardware / Master Bedroom Switch - C' is switched On Then Wait 2 seconds Set Scene 'Scene A Butttons' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Scene C Buttons Off If Control 'Hardware / Backdoor Porch - A' is switched On Or Control 'Hardware / Front Entryway - A' is switched On Or Control 'Hardware / Master Bedroom Switch - A' is switched On Then Wait 2 seconds Set Scene 'Scene C Butttons' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
LeeG Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 You indicate that KPL A remains On. Which is KPL A? Backdoor Porch - A Front Entryway - A Master Bedroom Switch - A
propman07 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 You indicate that KPL A remains On. Which is KPL A? Backdoor Porch - A Front Entryway - A Master Bedroom Switch - A Lee- Sorry about the confusion....I have 3 6 button KPLs, one at the Backdoor Porch, one at the Front Entryway, and one at the Master Bedroom. If I'm physically at Backdoor Porch, here is what happens. Backdoor Porch - C Pressed (lights dim); All 3 KPLs show Scene C illuminated Backdoor Porch - A Pressed (lights brighten); at the Backdoor Porch location, Scene A and C are illuminated, at the other two locations, Scene A is illuminated (results that I was looking for), and Scene C is off. Looks like the problem is at the local KPL.
LeeG Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Add a Wait 2 Seconds before the Set Scene Off in both Programs. Test again. Be sure to Save Changes.
propman07 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 Add a Wait 2 Seconds before the Set Scene Off in both Programs. Test again. Be sure to Save Changes. BINGO! Works perfectly! Thanks again for all of your help. I will update the post above with the correction, in case anyone else finds it useful.
LeeG Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Great news. The KeypadLinc where the button is physically pressed proceeds to communication with each of the responders to be sure they saw the button press. Likely the KeypadLinc was still trying to communicate with the other responders at the same time the Program issued the Set Scene xxxx Off. The Wait allows the KeypadLinc where the button is pressed to finish with its responders before the Set Scene Off command is issued.
