One button, two scenes?
The way I understood the request is: If Neither Scene is on, Turn Scene A on. If Scene A is On, Turn Scene A Off, Turn Scene B On If Scene B is On, Turn Scene B Off, Turn Scene A On Continued presses of RL-B toggle between the two scenes. I would do this with a variable for tracking assumed scene status. I am assuming from the OP that the RL buttons are in NonToggle ON mode. RL-B SHOULD NOT BE a controler of either scene. If Control RL-B is switched On and i.scenestat < 2 then Set Scene B Off Set Scene A On i.scenestat=2 else Set Scene A Off Set Scene B On i.scenestat=1 Assuming that there would be another button used to turn off the scenes. If Control RL-A is Switched On then Set Scene A Off Set Scene B Off If RL-B is in normal Toggle mode, then the second program should be replaced with the following: If Control RL-B is switched Off Then Set Scene A Off Set Scene B Off The combination of the first and third programs would loop through: Scene A On - A & B Off - Scene B On - A & B Off -Xathros

Electrical Wiring problem?
Mine are relays as well. The replacements function flawlessly in the same locations. Pretty sure these 2 togglincs are just duds. Almost think they fail due to the heat they create. Once they warm up the stop working. Even with no load at all.

Electrical Wiring problem?
I have a few old togglincs that act like that. I replaced them and now use them for bench tests only.

Release 4.0.2 Beta Is Now Available
i814u2- Your screenshots and descriptions match right up with what I have seen on three of my systems. It does seem to be more predictable with the admin console than with other apps but I have still seen this in other places. It is quite possible that the admin console was running and minimized when I saw this elsewhere. I will try to do some further testing. -Xathros

Triggers and conditions and IFs, oh my!
$X3 being a state variable will cause the If to reevaluate any time it's value changes. The waits will be canceled when it changes to anything > 0. The timers will only expire if $X3 remains at 0 for the full duration. I'm quite sure that will meet your requirements. -Xathros

Release 4.0.2 Beta Is Now Available
I also see this with Dropbox, Google drive, Evernote, MS Word etc. I don't believe it is Java related, I do believe this is a Mountain Lion Bug/Feature but have no solid proof either way. -Xathros

Triggers and conditions and IFs, oh my!
I got lost trying to follow that logic so I thought about the requirement and have the following to offer: I am assuming $X3 is a State variable. If $X3 = 0 Then wait 5 minutes Notify #1 - 15 mins till shutdown... $AwayNotified = 1 wait 10 minutes Notify #2 - 5 Minutes till Shutdown... wait 5 minutes Set scenes off Set thermostat back. If $X3 > 0 and $AwayNotified > 0 then Notify Away Mode cancelled Set Thermostat to normal settings. Set whatever else $AwayNotfied = 0 Why wouldn't that work? -Xathros

Release 4.0.2 Beta Is Now Available
Need more information as to which "folders" are you referring to. Those under programs or the device tree? Have you cleared your Java cache? i814u2- I can confirm this behavior on my macs running 10.8.2 & 10.8.3. Very annoying and totally unrelated to the ISY & UDI. Clicking away and back shows the folder contents almost immediately. Best I can figure so far is a spotlight issue. -Xathros

Temperature monitors
I'm using some one wire DS1822 temp sensors in conjunction with a CAI web control board. The CAI supports up to 8 of these sensors in addition to a humidity sensor and eight digital inputs and 8 analog inputs. This is not a plug and play, out of the box solution but works well for me and is far cheaper than installing a bunch of Insteon or Zwave thermostats. -Xathros

Thermostat control options
I have a KPL button that enables/disables ISY control. Button Lit = Wife override - Button Off = ISY in control. ISY Control started as a basic schedule and evolved as track occupancy and since I took control of my pellet stove and gained access to outside temp. A basic schedule for setback is where I would start and add on from there as your skills and needs dictate. -Xathros

Can you be more specific as to wat you want to do? Ill see if I can post an example to match.

Temporary link-up to ISY...
50' is a generally accepted maximum for a serial interface but recommended is far less. Mine is 10'. You can however move the ISY with the PLM keeping them together and extend the ethernet uplink much further. BUT, I think you misunderstood my suggestion. What I meant was: Use an AC extension cord. Unplug the PLM from power and plug it into the extension cord then plug the other end of the extension cord into an outlet on the same circuit as the problem KPL(s) for the duration of the reprogramming. -Xathros

Roller Shade Control - ISY -> Insteon/Arduino?
I would go the IP / Network resource route. Depending on the arduino's response time, I would expect you could get very near real time responses unless the ISY is very busy with other tasks at the time. I would be interested in what you have sourced for the roller shades as I am also considering building my own. -Xathros

Temporary link-up to ISY...
Put the PLM on a long extension cord and plug it into the affected circuit for the updates. -Xathros

Problem Setting up email notifications
In that dialog, "Recipients" is the only column header and does kinda sorta look like an elongated rectangular button. Dunno if its possible in the Java GUI to indicate sort Ascending/Descending with Up/Dn arrows on the column headers like in some other environments but if it is, that may help to clarify the purpose of that header. If there is a hidden ID# assigned to each recipient line, revealing that as another column like program or mvar ID's may make the headers more recognizable as headers. Also changing "Add" to "Add Recipient" may help steer new users toward the correct target. I do have to say however, it took me a few re-reads of that post to find the error as I just always assumed that "Recipients" was just a column header and being that I've never had more than 2 recipients in that dialog, I had never felt the need to click it to sort before. In any event, that error message needs to be changed to "That was Easy!" unless Staples has that trademarked. -Xathros

ISY not showing folder or scene. newbie here
Or you didn't look at the very bottom of the tree after you added. New scenes/folders appear at the very bottom initially until a restart of the console or a re-sort of the tree. -Xathros

Replace device: 2476S with 2477S
Just last night, I swapped 3 Toggleinc relays with 2 Dualband Switchlinc Relays and one Dualband Switchlink Dimmer. Used the replace function for the relay to relay swaps. First worked like a charm. Relaunched the console and started the second which replaced the device in all the scenes then failed to edit the programs - popped upt with a socket error , after which the console became unresponsive. Had to quit/relaunch the console and edit the programs manually which leads me to a suggestion: Is it possible to add to the Find list for Find/Replace ? Luckily, this switch was only referenced in maybe 5 programs so it wasn't a tough recovery. As for the Relay -> Dimmer transition, I made the scene changes manually and did a Find/Replace for the program changes. Easy enough to replace would have been a bit easier. And lastly, just out of curiosity, what is the reason for closing the console at the end of a Replace process ? -Xathros

Trouble connecting to admin console
Not as fully convinced now but we have not ruled it out yet either. Next time this occurs, Connect to the ISY via the LAN and check Help / About for the internet access line and see what that says when it's not working. -Xathros
