How to Differentiate between UPStart Channel 1&2 in ElkRP

[slowmo]

How can I differentiate between an UPStart Channel 1 and Channel 2 of a SA US22-40T switch in ElkRP? ElkRP ties to UPStart UID yet SA US22-40T only uses one UID. Is it possible to set SA22-40T on two UID?

mustangcoupe came across this - the only way found so far was to set channel 2 to respond to a link and transmit that link instead - since ElkRP only knows how to talk to Channel 1.

Makes sense, I will give it a try

Yep, that's what you have to do

Forgot to mention - unfortunately with this method, the Elk can't really keep track of status either... that's just inherent to the way the Elk manages scenes - and a giant weakness in my opinion. Lots of the software out there will poll the switches on occassion to figure out when things changed; especially if a known scene was triggered. This is because UPB can't transmit light levels after responding to a scene just because it has no idea how many switches were affected - 1 to 250; and with several, it'd kill the network - so it just doesn't do it at all.
