I have installed two INSTEON® 6-Button Scene Control Keypad, Dual-Band (#2487S)
I made a drawing to clarify what I want to do....
I've read the manual but can't seem to wrap my head around how to keep the Buttons & ON/Off Functions separate to control different light strings ... Each light string has HUE lights I want to On/Off control each string separately, and use the buttons to trigger an event calling a Jowie Hue scene.
Device Mapping for all buttons
========================
Switch 1 ON/Off = Turn On/Off Light String #1
Switch 2 On/Off = Turn On/Off Light String #2
=====================================
Buttons A-B-C-D i want to link one to one
A-A
B-B
C-C
D-D
Example:
If you press A on Switch 1 then Switch 2 will mirror the action and Illuminate the A button. a Scene Event is triggered by the A button from either Switch 1 or 2 (I plan on using the button press to trigger an Action to turn on a Jowie Hue Scene .
If you Press any A button again illumination behind the switch will go off in both A buttons. understanding any further action is controlled by an event triggered when A button is OFF
this will be the same action for all A-B-C-D buttons.
Since the A-B-C-D buttons in this situation are changing the same lights on the string I would prefer to only have One Button at a time Light up. I don't want multiple buttons ON activating multiple scenes only one scene can be called at a time. Is this the Radio button function?
====================================
I've read the Insteon 2487s Owners manual but it doesn't address how to do this. I would appreciate some guidance / direction on how to accomplish this..
does simply cross linking only the buttons accomplish this???????
This is a large WAF factor project for me.... We have about 30 Hue lights set up with the Jowie Plugin. WAF wants a simple button in several locations around the house she can press to get lighting scenes she wants ....
A- Grill to spot light the out door Kitchen.
B- Spa for swimming.
C- Table for ambient to have Dinner outdoor .
D- Energize for security brights lights
She created the scenes, I have the switches installed Now I have to get them linked
Many thanks
