  1. I am sorry for making this confusing, lol. There is no load wired to the 6 way switches, they are only being used as remotes to control a scene. There is 3 scenes total. There is a PD scene, a HH Scene and another scene called HHPD that turns on both HH and PD's Switch, not the scene. Attached is a picture of the layout. It is a lot more complex then my example, but hopefully it explains it better. The PD and HH scene is controlled by a regular dimmer with load. There are two 6 button switches that control HHPD with the big on and off(these 6 button switches have no load). On the top two buttons of the 6 button switch, there are 2 scenes one to control HH's Scene and the other to Control PD's Scene independently. There is no toggle modes currently and no functions on this switch at the moment.
  2. So, I have been trying to program a few scenes for the last few years and constantly get stuck where I have to write overly complex programs that pick and choose when to work completely. I was hoping firmware 5.X would solve this, and kinda does, but not completely. In brief, I am trying to make a scene light up if an object in the scene is on, but not the whole scene, thus allowing me to see on a keypad that something in that scene is on without activating the rest of the devices in the scene. Below is my shortened scenario: Equipment: (2) 6 Key Insteon switches. - (FD) Front Door and (KT) Kitchen (Example Below) (2) On/Off Insteon Dimmers. (HH) Kitchen Hi-Hats and (PD) Pendant Dining FD and KT HHPD ON HH ON/OFF PD On/OFF Blank Blank HH+PD OFF Current Scenario: 1. Press HHPD ON and both HH and PD turn on as well as Scene HHPD (Example Below) HHPD ON HH ON/OFF PD On/OFF Blank Blank HHPD OFF 2. If I turn off both HH and PD manually then HHPD stays on even though all lights in that scene are off. (Example Below) HHPD ON HH ON/OFF PD On/OFF Blank Blank HH+PD OFF 3. If I turn on just HH when everything is already off then HH is on but HHPD stays off. (Example Below) HHPD ON HH ON/OFF PD On/OFF Blank Blank HHPD OFF Ideal Scenario: 1. Press HHPD ON and both HH and PD turn on as well as Scene HHPD (Example Below) HHPD ON HH ON/OFF PD On/OFF Blank Blank HHPD OFF 2. If I turn ON HH then HHPD should light up, but not activate the scene HHPD(thus not turning on PD). (Example below) HHPD ON HH ON/OFF PD On/OFF Blank Blank HHPD OFF 3. If HH and PD are on and I turn of PD then HHPD should remain lit up, but not activate/deactivate the scene HHPD. (Example below) HHPD ON HH ON/OFF PD On/OFF Blank Blank HHPD OFF 4. If I turn Off HH and no other device that HHPD controls is on, then HHPD's light should turn off without me pressing HHPD off. (Example below) HHPD ON HH ON/OFF PD On/OFF Blank Blank HHPD OFF I am not sure if this is a limitation of insteon or if there is a better way to attack this with programming (which I have tried a lot of ways). I am happy to export my whole homes programming if anyone is curious to what I have done so far. It is quite more complex then just the example. Thank you in advanced for any help that comes my way.
