[Hai-users] Dealer PC Access 2.12d Bug - RadioRa Master ControlKeypads

[Duncan, Greer]

The following response was developed by one of our engineers:

Actually it is working properly, well almost...

As you have noted, only the first 10 buttons of a MCK are supported for
use in HAI programming.  If you have a 15 button MCK, All 15 buttons can
be used for RadioRA functions; however, only the first 10 can be used to
trigger HAI program events.

Next, the all on/off events:  Internally, the keypad all on and all off
commands evaluate to the same command as a switch on or switch off.  So
when decoding the command to display it in the edit dialog, it is not
possible to determine how it was originally generated.  This does not
affect the functionality.

Finally you are correct about the edit problem when editing an even for
buttons 9 or 10.  The routine that decodes and displays the current
command was checking for a valid range of 1-8 instead of 1-10.  This has
been fixed and will appear in the next PC Access release which should be
out very soon...

Hope that it helps,

Subject: [Hai-users] Dealer PC Access 2.12d Bug - RadioRa Master
ControlKeypads

I am wondering if anyone is running Dealer PC Access newer than 2.12d 
revision.

I noticed the following issues with RadioRa RS232 support, all involving
Master Control keypads (MCK) under 2.12d

1. There are no MCK buttons numbered above 10, although keypads have 
numbers up to 17.

2. The Dealer PC Access software defaults back to switch/dimmer values 
in the
     SETUP/PROGRAM screen, even if you COPY/PASTE an existing line for a
     keypad.  This happens above a certain SW number, something aournd 8

or so.

3. When you attempt to sense the ALL ON and ALL OFF buttons, the
resulting
     program code is for a switch/dimmer, not a keypad.  (see #1).

So, the following value program lines cannot be written:

WHEN uni_LUTRON01 SW16 PRESSED LOG MESSAGE 31
nor can
WHEN uni_LUTRON01 SW17 PRESSED PROGRAM ARM NIGHT

The first line should log whenever ALL ON is pressed on a keypad,
and the second should ARM the system when  ALL OFF is pressed.

Nor can any buttons on the third column of a "15 button" keypad be
sensed.

Anyone have a version that works properly?

Thanks!

PS.  I did report this to HAI Tech Support as a probable bug.
