M1RB - momentary push ? Seems to be stuck in LATCHED

[treo650]

I have (1) M1RB connected to J16 on my elk m1

I did the wireless garage remote mod by soldering to the wireless rf liftmaster remote. I verify by shorting the two newly soldered wires, garage open up and down -works OK

When I hook up to OUTPUT 9 (or 10, and 11 -tried all 3)

I set a rule - WHENEVER F3 keypad press, TOGGLE OUTPUT 9

The problem I have is, it seems intermediatary... sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesnt.

I also tried - WHENEVER KITCHEN DOOR (Zone 16) becomes NOT SECURE, TOGGLE OUTPUT 9 === no work, and sometimes intermediatary

The problem I see is: The relay M1RB board has a SOLID red led light when output becomes active, it seems like it is a LATCHED button.

Is there a way to make this a MOMENTARY push?

Or what am I doing wrong?

Basically, I hook up the wireless rf liftmaster remote to COM/ NORMALLY OPEN on the relay board. <---is this correct?

Toggle means set the relay to the opposite state it's currently at.


You want Whenever...turn output 9 on for 2 seconds. ...or something close to that

:hesaid:

Yup - you're turning it on to stay on, rather than Turn Output XX on for 1 Second.

Another way you can do it is
Whenever Output XX Turns On, set Output YY on for 1 Second / Whenever Output YY turns off, Turn Off Output XX
WHENEVER Output XX Turns On THEN Turn Output XX Off

I did that in a couple places as a safety so that if you turned it on the wrong way via an iPhone interface or otherwise, it'd still turn back off immediately.

Edit - you don't need the extra output and timer - you can just turn it off when it's turned on, and it works great.
