All,
I have another relatively easy question that I hope someone can provide a fairly easy answer to. I have a very simple setup in my kitchen in which I've replaced 2 standard switches that drive 2 separate under-cupboard lights and I've replaced them both with Insteon KeypadLinc 6-button switches (2487S, v.41). So essentially KPL-1 is wired inline with Light-1 and KPL-2 is wired inline with Light-2. I also have an ISY994i.
In the ISY I've created 3 scenes as follows:
Scene-1 (All Lights)
KPL-1: Controller
KPL-2: Controller
Scene-2 (Light-1 Only)
KPL-1-A: Controller
KPL-2-A: Controller
KPL-1: Responder
Scene-3 (Light-2 Only)
KPL-1-B: Controller
KPL-2-B: Controller
KPL-2: Responder
Hopefuly the above is fairly clear. Basically, if I press the big 'On' button on either KPL then BOTH lights come on which is what I want. If I press 'A' on either KPL then Light-1 comes on and if I press button 'B' on either KPL then Light 2 comes on. The lights can be toggled on and off in this way fairly well.
But sometimes, if for example I turn on button A on KPL-1 and then press 'On' on KPL-2 then the LED for button A on KPL-1 remains lit even though now both lights are on. Pressing A on KPL-1 again turns off the LED but has no effect on the lights which kind of makes sense but I'd like to see it that the buttons on either KPL have the effect of being exclusive so if I press 'A' on either KPL then it overrides any other state and turns on Light 1 and also lights up the LEDs for 'A' on both KPLs. Likewise, if I press 'B' it should light up Light-2, plus both button 'B' LEDs and shut off all other LEDs.
So my question for the forum is, do I need to create a master program that does all of this for me and if so is there a good example that you can point me to? I've tried the Button Grouping and Button Toggle modes but these don't appear to accomplish what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance for any help or pointers you can provide. I've done some searching here and elsewhere but didn't have much luck finding a scenario similar to this one.
