SpencerM Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 I have a Keypadlinc v.36 Button that is the controller for a Scene called "All Off" When I Turn the Scene Off in my ISY the behavior is as expected, all lights turn off. When I Turn the Scene On in my ISY it is a little odd, the lights all turn off (the On Levels are set to 0), so the lights are off but status lights turn on all over the house. Seems odd since the ISY even asked me what I wanted to do for devices that don't support On Level and I said Turn Off. Not a huge issue since I plan on using a non-toggle mode on the button that will just send the off command anyways. I am planning to control the scene from the Keypad Button. The toggle mode on the button is Non-Toggle Off. When I press the button at night, all the lights turn off in the house, including the status lights around the house. The problem is that the status light on my keypad is now lit up. When I look at the admin on the ISY the Current State of the button is Off even though looking at the keypad I can see clearly the button state is on. The only way I am able to get the keypad button off is if I run the scene off on my phone or tablet. I have restored the keypad....just not sure what could be causing this behaviour.
MCahill Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I am also running into a problem with a "Night Mode" "All Off" button, but may be able to help you with yours. You have set all your "On" levels to 0; but the devices still consider this as On (just really really dim). Turning your scene "On" should still set the device indicator on; but the load will be at a brightness of 0%. I found that changing the toggle mode in the ISY did not function properly; and ended up using the "tap programming" on the KPL itself to change it. There may be a bug here or one of those "jeez this should work but doesn't" issues with the KPL. My suggestion; try changing the toggle mode at the KPL and see if this fixes your problem. Is anyone else having trouble with KPL toggle modes? (My ISY running v3.3.3 and the KPL is v.2D)
MCahill Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Just had another thought. I added the "Night Mode" button as a responder to all the other scenes I want to turn off at night. This turns my "Night Mode" button On if anything else is on; so it normally is on when I press it at night.
SpencerM Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 Both are good ideas...thanks! I managed to work it out in a slightly different way. I added the All off button as a responder in the scene and changed it's toggle mode back to regular on/off. I created a program that detects the state of the all off button. It that button is on then it sets the scene "All Off" to Off which turns off the devices I want and also turns off the keypad button. There is a slight delay (maybe a second or two) but this is fine since the point is just to make sure the devices get turned off.
