Click the KPL Secondary button D node name below Scene D name. Set FanLinc Motor to
Off, Secondary KPL button A to 0% On Level, Secondary KPL button B to 0% On Level,
Secondary button C to 0% On Level.
Click RemoteLinc2 button D node name below Scene D name. Set FanLinc Motor to Off,
Secondary button A to 0% On Level, Secondary KPL button B to 0% On Level, Secondary
KPL button C to 0% On Level, Secondary button D to 100% On Level.
-------------------------------------------------
If an 8 Scene RL2 is used it is not a good candidate for this situation because individual RL2
buttons cannot be set to non-toggle On mode. The entire RL2 has to be set to non-toggle On
mode OR the RL2 buttons have to be pressed twice to turn On a particular speed because
the buttons Toggle On/Off

8 Variables

8.1 Variable Basics

Variables can be incredibly useful when creating programs on the ISY. Variables can be
stored, modified using arithmetic operations, and compared. You can use variables to
provide information, trigger programs, etc.
To view your variables, click on the Programs tab then the Variables sub-tab.
There are two different types of variables (Integer and State), each divided into a separate
sub-tab. The only difference between the two is that State variables create ISY events when
modified, so they can be used to trigger ISY Programs.
For example, if you'd like to create an ISY Program that runs only when a variable is or
reaches a certain value, use a State variable. Otherwise, if the variable's value will not be
used to trigger a program, feel free to use the simpler Integer variable.

8.1.1 Creating Variables

To create a new variable, click the Add button on the bottom of the screen. Here is a list of
each column and a quick definition:
Name – This is the user-defined name of the variable. Choose a name that's descriptive so
that you'll be able to quickly identify the variable you want to use in ISY Programs.
Init – This is the initial value of the variable, the value it has if the ISY is rebooted. This can
be defined here and also updated using ISY Programs so that a variable value can persist
even if the ISY loses power.
