KeypadLinc to control hot water heater


mdyod

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

 

I have a button on my KeypadLinc controlling my hot water heater with a 240V Load Control NO.

 

I have them linked using the scene tool...

 

I need the Keypadlinc Button's LED to indicate when the water heater is on. It works fine when manually turning the heater on using the keypadlinc button or the button on the Load Control....

 

However, when I turn the water heater on using a ISY99 program or iPhone the LED on the Keypad doesn't turn on to indicate that the heater is on...

 

What am i missing?

 

THANKS in advance for your help

If an ISY Scene what devices are in the Scene and how were each added to the Scene, as a Responder or a Controller.

 

If turning on the Load Controller with a Program the KeypadLinc button will not turn On. To turn the Load Controller and the KeypadLinc button On, turn the Scene On that has the KeypadLinc button as a Controller and the Load Controller as either a Controller or Responder.

If

From 6:00:00AM

To 7:15:00AM (same day)

Or From 5:45:00PM

To 7:15:00PM (same day)

 

Then

Set 'Downstairs H2O Heater' On

Set 'Down Stairs H2O Switch' On 2 / Off 2 (Backlight Level)

 

Else

Set 'Downstairs H2O Heater' Off

 

***** In this latest version I even tried turning them both on...

Excuse my ignorance but how do i go about posting the device links table saved xml file?

 

Also, the only device that is in the list for creating a device links table is the heater controller - The Keypad linc switch that i'm using is not available in the "drop down" list...

 

Thanks Again for your help

No need. The Program cannot do what you want as coded. A Secondary KeypadLinc button cannot be turned On/Off with Insteon Direct commands. The Action statement is changing the backlight level of the entire KeypadLinc. It is not capable of turning On/Off a Secondary button.

 

I assume you defined an ISY Scene with the KeypadLinc button and Load Controller. Use that Scene name in a Set Scene xxxxx On in place of the two statement in the Then clause and a Set Scene xxxx Off in the Else clause.

 

EDIT: FYI - the Primary KeypadLinc node has to be used for the Show Device Links Table (which we no longer need). There are a number of right button functions that can only be applied to the Primary node.

Use the Admin Console to turn the Scene On/Off. That eliminates one of the variables. If the Scene does not work through the Admin Console then were back to needing the Show Device Links Table for the KeypadLinc and the Load Controller. Could be a link record has been lost or not successfully written to begin with. Could be communications problem between the ISY PLM and the KeypadLinc.

 

After the Show Device Links Table completes for the KeypadLinc click the Compare button. That will produce another popup comparing the links found in the KeypadLinc against what the ISY thinks should be there. That may answer the link record question.

Okay, thanks. Let’s do this a little different. Run Tools | Diagnostics | Event Viewer with Level 3. Right click on Scene name, select Diagnostics | Scene Test. Post the event trace.

 

The Load Controller link records show button D (assuming 8 button KeypadLinc) will turn On/Off the Load Controller. There is also a responder link for Scene 22 (0x16) which I think is the ISY Scene. The REST information would have provided the Scene number. The Scene Test will also. In addition the Scene Test will show if the ISY PLM is able to communicate with both the KeypadLinc button D and the Load Controller under good conditions.

Looks like either a link record problem in the KeypadLinc or a communications problem between the ISY PLM and the KeypadLinc location. Run the Show Device Links Table against the KeypadLinc and when the display is complete, click the Compare button. This will produce another display showing what links are there versus what the ISY think is should be there.

All links were labeled as "Identical" in the report....

The Scene Test is reporting status to a PLM with address 19.73.80.

 

Wed 08/01/2012 08:56:46 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 1D.9A.3B 19.73.80 E1 13 FF LTOFFRR(FF)

 

The KeypadLinc link record shows the PLM address as 1B.FA.D5

 

0F98 : A2 16 1B.FA.D5 FF 1F 03

 

Was the PLM replaced at some point?

 

Run Tools | Diagnostics | PLM Info/Status to confirm the PLM address is 19.73.80
