Ok, need your experience in Insteon.
I have a Switchlinc relay that controls fluorescent kitchen lights, have two keypadlincs (button B) that allow control of these lights and display that they are on.
* Counter Lights
IS Controller for Counter Lights Scene (Keypad1-B and Keypad2-B)
IS Responder to Counter Lights Scene (Keypad1-B and Keypad2-B)
* Counter Lights Scene control (Keypad1-B and Keypad2-B)
When we press the Switchlinc on button then lights go on like they should, and keypad1-B and Keypad2-B also light up....
If I turn on Switchlinc via HomeSeer, then only the fluorescent lights go on but not the keypad1-b and keypad2-b....
Is this another Insteon "feature"?
I figure that since the Switchlinc is a "controller" for the scene, then it should also activate the scene to turn on the B buttons on the two keypads both locally operated and remotely via HomeSeer - not true?
Same thing, if I turn on the Switchlinc and since it is a controller of the scene, then should it not also turn on the Counter Lights Scene?
Not stating that this is a bug in the plugin, as it doesn't work via direct control of the ISY web application either.
I suppose one could create a event rule that if the Switchlinc becomes on then turn on the Counter Lights Scene.. But really? Or you could add logic in the plugin... Or I suppose best would be to write a ISY rule/program...
If this is how it works, then INSTEON in terms of using keypads as status controllers is junk!!
