satwar Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I was planning to monitor an alarm condition, which will be only be triggered momentarily. I would like to latch the alarm condition in the isy. The alarm condition in the isy would then be reset manually. Can this functionality be achieved in the isy ?
LeeG Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 The alarm condition can be noted in an ISY Variable. The I/O Linc Relay operating in Latching Mode can be turned On when the I/O Linc Sensor sends an On command to the ISY if an Insteon device indication is preferred. A dedicated LampLinc or ApplianceLinc or Secondary KeypadLinc button can be used. Really need more information on how the alarm condition needs to be remembered by the ISY.
satwar Posted October 17, 2012 Author Posted October 17, 2012 I don't seem to be able to change the Options settings on my 2450. Is there a trick ?
satwar Posted October 17, 2012 Author Posted October 17, 2012 Well that's a no-no for me, but I have had success in pushing the button on 2450 casing. I can get relay to follow sensor, although the relay status doesn't change on isy screen (possibly another 3.3.3 issue). But when I activate "latching, continuous", I get no sign of latching, just the relay following sensor. Are all these issues 3.3.3 issues ?
LeeG Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 The I/O Linc Relay is a Responder Only node. It does not send state changes back to ISY. I don't think you want Relay follows Sensor as the Relay will turn Off when the Sensor turns Off (it is following Sensor). Use Latching mode and turn the Relay On from an ISY Program when the I/O Linc Sensor turns On. The Relay will remain On until explicitly turned Off when in Latching mode.
satwar Posted October 17, 2012 Author Posted October 17, 2012 That sounds like what I want to achieve ! Thank you very much, once again.
