@larryllix thank you for that. Yes, using a Motion Sensor makes things more responsive as does a button on a remote. The above example used, as seen in the program, a wall dimmer switch connected to the light in question. It would be nice if you could change the physical devices ‘On Level [Applied Locally] setting, then things would ocure at normal speeds. Side note: @larryllix, I believe you mentioned somewhere about wearing out the EEPROM inside a switch. I have seen some EEPROMS that support 100,000 write cycles. If similar here, and since scenes are stored in the actual device, we should keep this limitation in mind when changes are made in our devices. Edit: For new users like me, one last point. If you set your devices ‘On Levels [Applied Locally]’ to say 40% (or what every) then lights will come on at a low level on a single press and you still have the option of 100% on a double press. Using your switches in this fashion makes for a responsive lighting system, you just have to remember double tap for full light, no programming or scenes needed .

After reading different threads from the "Questions" forum. Here is a way to change the ON intensity of a light to different levels at different times of the day. You have a device (2477D) called “TestDimmer”. - Make this device’s “On Level [Applied Locally]” = 1% (zero will not work) - Make a Scene called “TestDimmerSceneDifferent%”. - Place our “TestDimmer” in the above Scene as a Responder. - Write two Programs: #1 “TestScenePgm%” Looks for an ON control from our 2477D dimmer switch. If we see an ON, run our scene. #2 Check for a desired time period. If we are in this period, adjust the Scene's “On Level” as needed. If we are outside this time period, adjust the Scene's “On Level” as needed. Since we are using a program to control the lights level, there is a time delay.

Thank you for responding. You nailed it! That was the problem. These sliders were at 100%. After moving both to 60%, all switches now single tap to 60%.

I have a 4-way light circuit. The 3 switches are linked to each other and all can turn the light ON/OFF. Indication of ON/OFF is seen on all 3 switches. I set up the "On Level [Applied Locally]" of Switch "A" (connected to the load) to 60%. I did the same for the other two switches. Only switch "A" goes to 60% when you single click the ON paddle. The other 2 switches go to full 100% even though their "On Level [Applied Locally]" are also set to 60%. Is there a way to get the other 2 switches to also go to 60% when you single click the ON paddles? Attached are the switch screens.

@PhanTomiZ Thank you for your input. Yes, when the 'Variable Tab' is selected, you can see the 'current value' of each variable. Of course selecting other tabs closes the Variable tab. I was hoping a foreground window could be left open, but I did not make this clear. In other programming IDEs this is sometimes called a 'Watch Window' where you can drag variables in to be monitored. Being new to this platform, I am still exploring the Administrative Console.

@kclenden Thank you for your work around suggestion.

I was wondering if there was a way to display a variable in the 'Administrative Console' to see what the current value is. This could be referred as a 'Watch' window. For example: display the real time value of a 'counter' as it increments or decrements. This might be used to help in diagnosing a programming problems.

@PhanTomiZ Thank you for your response. "3. My understanding to get Alexa to work with the ISY994IRPRO there is: ISY Portal Module ($12.00 a year) Amazon Echo and IFTTT integration.

They said the $49/2 for years is wrong. The price is only the $12/Y for the ISY Portal Module

New user here: I am thinking about getting an ISY994IRPRO from aartech.ca HERE I currently use X10 modules and I am at the start of converting to Insteon products. The support staff at aartech was not 100% sure if the ISY994IRPRO 'was still' X10 compatible. The Universal Devices website at HERE seems to imply there 'is' compatibility to X10. Questions: 1. If you have a ISY994IRPRO, is it compatible with X10 if you get the X10 programming module ($9.00) ? 2. Does the required 2413S PLM for the ISY994IRPRO, used for the Insteon products, also generate the necessary X10 outgoing signals. 3.
