Recently, the switch for my RF fireplace remote burned out, and I decided to finally use the SA UMI-32 I/O module I had lying around. The setup is as follows:
There is a wall switch with wires to the fireplace, previously unused, which I connect to to Input #2, terminals 9&10 on the I/O module.
The wires to turn on the fireplace are attached to the contact closure output #1 on terminals 1&2.
In Upstart, I open the device, and have several tabs. In the tab labelled Receive Ch 1, on Line 1, I have chosen Link 231 to be closed at Snap! rate. On Line 2, I have chosen Link 232 to be open at Snap! rate.
In the tab labelled Transmit Components, I have left Input 1 and 3 disabled. On Input 2, I have selected N.O. Input mode, Link 228. As I understand it, this should Activate Link 228 when the contacts close, and Deactivate Link 228 when the contacts are open.
I have set up some programming lines in the OPII to control this. First, to control the fireplace with the panel, I have set up 2 buttons, one called Fireplace On, another called Fireplace Off.
6. WHEN Fireplace On
THEN UPB LINK 231 ON
7. WHEN Fireplace Of
THEN UPB LINK 232 ON
This works pretty reliably when standing alone. However, I am trying to get the wall switch to work as well, and this is where I run into trouble. Here are the lines I added:
4. WHEN UPB LINK 228 ON
THEN RUN Fireplace On
5. WHEN UPB LINK 228 OFF
THEN RUN Fireplace Of
This simply doesn't work. The input light on the module does light up when the wall switch is on, but the fireplace does not turn on. When the fireplace is on, turning the wall switch off does not turn off the fireplace either. Moreover, after flipping the wall switch, the button itself will stop working until I run through an on/off cycle. Clearly, the 2 links interfere with each other.
I usually don't use links, and rely on HAI programming to set up my lights. Can anyone with knowledge of Upstart, HAI programming, and links sort this out?
Thanks,
Alan
