I just got a HAI House Controller I'm going to use in a table top housing.
What I want to do is program a button on the controller to turn on all the outside lights, then when you turn off the button, put the lights back to where they were. The controller light must track whats going on.
I thought this would be easy, but I'm not getting the results I want. I'm using HAI switches.
I made a link called Outside Lights and programmed all the outside switches to receive it at 100%. I don't see a way to make a second link trigger from the 'off toggle' of the controller. I tried programming a second outside link programmed for 'Last Level' and set that to a second button.
Lets say my front porch light is at 50%. Then I press the Outside Lights (Link) button and all the lights come up to 100%.
Then I press the Last Level button and nothing happens. When I press the Outside Lights (Link) button again, it deactivates the link and all the lights go out, as they should.
Another issue is that the HAI controller light comes on when activated, I need it to turn off w/o deactivating the link which will turn the outside lights off.
I thought this would be easy using only UPB links. I can do it via Homeseer if necessary. But I think I'll end up having to use twice as many links that way.
