KPL and Remotelinc for same light

[bmiller]

I have my KPL and Remotelinc controling the same lights. Button A and B on both contolling the same lights. The only problem is it doesn't quite work like a 3-way switch. If the light is on and you use the other device to turn it off, i may have to hit the button twice. I'm sure there is a porogram to make the KPL and Remotelinc act like a 3-way electrical circuit. Right now i have

if KPL button A is on

Then turn Living room light on

else turn living room light off.

 

Same for the remotelinc.

 

It seems to be working ok. I can turn the light on and off from either device ok. It's when i use one device to turn it on and then another device to turn it off.

Oh so close, but yet so far.

Thanks

I assume it is a RemoteLinc2, not a RemoteLinc. The RemoteLinc2 cannot function in a virtual 3-way cross-link the way other Insteon devices can. The RemoteLinc2 sleeps so there is no means of altering what a button press will do next.

 

The entire RemoteLinc2 can be configured to non-toggle mode (cannot change a single button as can be done with a KeypadLinc). That way a Program could be triggered every time the RL2 button is pressed with the Program logically toggling the responder(s). The down side is all the RL2 buttons are non-toggle mode.

 

EDIT: I found one can get use to having to do an extra RL2 button press rather than lose the toggle function for all the buttons. You can also remove the RL2 button from the Scene and trigger a toggle Program with either an On or Off command from the RL2 button.

Thanks Lee. I'll get used to the extra toggle for now. I'll look into the toggle program for the RL2.
