ahwman Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 I'm having an issue with one of my SwitchLinc Dimmer's (v.40). It's paired with another SwitchLinc acting as a 3-way switch. The "On" level is set to 50% which is triggering correctly when manually depressed, however when I depress the switch a second time, it doesn't ramp up to 100% like all of the other SwitchLinc's in my home. If I do a fast double click, it will ramp up to 100%. I've tried doing a factory reset by pulling out the bottom tab, waiting 10 seconds, then pushing it back in and holding for 3 seconds - no change. I've deleted it from my ISY and re-added it, no change. At this point I'm wondering if the switch is simply defective, however it's puzzling that every other aspect of the switch works perfectly. Any thoughts?
LeeG Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 What is the firmware level of the SwitchLinc that does not go to 100% with second paddle press? The moving between the Local On Level and full On is totally under control of the SwitchLinc. It sounds like it has a different firmware.
LeeG Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Just to be sure I am clear on this, the SwitchLinc that does not go to 100% on the second press is actually physically controlling the load. The Red wire is connected to the load. If this is the SwitchLinc that is linked to the SwitchLinc controlling the load, not causing the load to go to 100% is correct. If the SwitchLinc is reacting as a Responder to another Controller, it goes to the Responder On Level that has been defined for that particular Controller. As a Responder it does not cycle between Responder On Level and full On. Only the paddle on the device physically controlling the load causes that device to cycle between the Local On Level and full On.
oberkc Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Do you suppose this behavior could be explained by that "resume dim" feature that can be set on these switches?
LeeG Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Resume Dim can have an effect on the paddle press of the switch that is physically controlling the load. After reading the initial post a few times I think the SwitchLinc being discussed is a Secondary SwitchLinc in an n-way configuration. If this is the SwitchLinc in question it will always turn On its Responder(s) to the defined Responder On Level. A Responder does not cycle its reaction. When the Responder receives an On command from another Controller it searches its link database for a matching Responder link record containing the Controller Insteon address. If a match is found the Responder turns On to the On Level in that Responder link record. It never ignores the defined Responder On Level for an On command. Will have to wait for further information from the OP as to whether this is a load control SwitchLinc or a Secondary SwitchLinc in an n-way configuration.
