Lights not working with Remotelinc2

[jmed999]

Hey the following programs are used as a panic alarm and also to turn lots of lights on. The 2nd program is used to turn the panic off and all the lights. The problem is not all the lights turn on and off. Everytime I test this different lights come on and off...it's not the same ones every time.

 

How do I fix this?

 

If
       Status  'Remotelincs / 2-Remotelinc / 2-Remotelinc - E-F' is On

Then
       Set Elk Keypad 'Garage Entry' Press F2
       Set 'Back CFL Floods' Fast On
       Set 'Deck Lights' Fast On
       Set Scene 'Driveway CFL Floods' Fast On
       Set 'Foyer Chandelier' Fast On
       Set 'Front CFL Floods' Fast On
       Set 'Front Candelabras' Fast On
       Set 'Garage Candelabras' Fast On
       Set 'Garage Lights' Fast On
       Set 'Insteon Bulb' Fast On
       Set 'Landscape Lights' Fast On
       Set Scene 'Livingroom Lights' Fast On
       Set 'Road and Driveway Candelabras' Fast On

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

 

If
       Status  'Remotelincs / 2-Remotelinc / 2-Remotelinc - E-F' is Off

Then
       Set Elk Area 'The Home' Disarm
       Set 'Back CFL Floods' Fast Off
       Set 'Deck Lights' Fast Off
       Set Scene 'Driveway CFL Floods' Fast Off
       Set 'Foyer Chandelier' Fast Off
       Set 'Front CFL Floods' Fast Off
       Set 'Front Candelabras' Fast Off
       Set 'Garage Candelabras' Fast Off

       Set 'Landscape Lights' Fast Off

DO I need to add a wait somewhere in there so the lights will get their signals from the ISY?

Well I am not a good one with programming.

That said.

It does look like you are sending multiple signals in a rapid fashion. You maybe flooding the power lines with signals. Depending on which ones got through different lights may or may not change as commanded.

I suggest you put all the devices in a scene and just set the scene fast off/on.

Why? Will a scene slow the powerline signals or something? Thanks!

[johnnyt]

With a scene only one insteon command is sent over the power line and all devices in that scene respond. Very clean. If you want to do it the other way, i.e. one device at a time, then you would need to add a wait between commands to give the command a chance to work otherwise you're just flooding the power line / airwaves with commands.

You are correct! The scene works great and is fast!
