I have a message thread going in the automation section that is not getting much traffic so I would like to link to it here:
http://cocoontech.com/forums/topic/27356-elk-m1-not-receiving-upb-device-status/
I am having trouble with reading the status of my SA 11-40 dimmer switches. When the switch is turned on and off by tapping the rocker switch the status does not change in m1togo or ekeypad. When switched by m1togo or ekeypad both show the status change.
As a test I set a rule to speak when the switch goes on and off.
12 WHENEVER Front Porch [2 (A2)] IS TURNED ON BY SOME EXTERNAL DEVICE
THEN ANNOUNCE On (vm310)
13 WHENEVER Front Porch [2 (A2)] IS TURNED OFF BY SOME EXTERNAL DEVICE
THEN ANNOUNCE Off (vm311)
To sum it up, the elk speaks when the light is switched by ekeypad or m1togo but is silent when physically switched at the rocker. Why doesn't the status update in ekeypad?
I also see the PIM-E LED change hue slightly when the rocker switch is tapped so the link appears to be getting there.
Why isn't the rule being triggered when switched by the paddle?
Mike.
