Multiple Scenes for 6 Button KPL

[jfteague]

Good morning,

 

First off I want to apologize if this has been answered already (I looked but that doesn't mean I didn't overlook it).

 

I have a single 6 button KPL in my office and it controls several inline-linc's and plug in modules. I want to create multiple scenes on the KPL versus controlling each device individually.

 

My dilemma is say I have one scene on (Scene A for example) but then I want to switch to Scene B. How do I program that if Scene B is pressed that it turns off any other active scenes? I tried but I ended up having every button lit on the keypad where I only want to see the active scene.

 

Thanks in advance!

Define a ISY Scene with the KeypadLinc buttons that should be turned Off. This may require more than one ISY Scene depending on how many buttons have overlapping devices. Trigger an ISY Program on a KeypadLinc button press and issue a Set Scene xxxx Off to turn the other button LEDs Off.

If
       Control 'KPL Floor Dimmer 6 button / KPL Floor Dimmer 6 button-A' is switched On

Then
       Set Scene 'SceneButtonB' Off

Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Also you can set the KPL into "radio" mode. I think the analogy is to presets on an old car radio where you push one in and the other pops out?

 

Anyway, if all the buttons are to be used for scenes that are exclusive of one another (in other words only one button should ever be on at a time), then putting the KPL into "radio mode" automatically shuts off any buttons that are on when you turn a different one on.

Thanks for the quick replies! I've never heard of radio mode but that sounds like exactly what I need. I'm not at home right now but when I do get home I'm going to see if that works. One last dumb question (actually probably not the last), how do you enter radio mode? Is it through the ISY Control Panel?

UDI strongly recommends against the use of "Button Grouping" (alias Radio buttons, mutually exclusive buttons). Click on the KeypadLinc primary node. There is a Button Grouping button along the bottom of the right pane. The KeypadLinc User Guide explains the function.
