No X-10. The KPLs are brand new. I'm leaving town tomorrow. I'll have to tackle the other suggestion when I get back. Thanks.

I have tranferred everything over to the ISY, and have my programs and scenes working great. However, the last thing I've been working on are KPL lights and which ones should be on when. I have one 6-KPL and one 8-KPL, both v.36. The six-key one has scenes defined on the four small buttons labeled A, B, C, and D. The eight-key has scenes on the bottom two buttons labeled G and H. I have the button lights working for the most part within each KPL. However, buttons on one KPL turn on lights on the other KPL without them being in the scene. For instance, if I press C on 6KPL, G and H illuminate on the 8KPL. If I add G and H to the C scene and put the slider at zero, same thing. Slider on 100%, same thing. It works the other way, too. G and H on the 8-KPL turn on A and B on the 6-KPL. I want A and B off. I tried a program to change the backlighting so it would look like they were off. Nope, same result. For clarification, the scenes associated with the buttons on the other KPLs are not being activated. The button light just turns on. I've removed the buttons from the scenes that aren't working properly and am ready to start over, but I'm out of ideas.

Flag program. Total newbie here and trying to learn the new ISY-way of doing things. I had flags in my previous program (HCA), but had no idea how to do it with the ISY. This will be a great help. Thanks.

Hi Michel, I'm about to place a large order for Insteon and an ISY. It will be all Insteon, but still a fairly small installation. No V1 thermostat. From what you've seen now and if you were starting from scratch, would you recommend getting the new 2413S or the old 2412S? Thanks.

Thanks, Joe. No Insteon yet. Waiting for a sale to replace all X-10 with all Insteon. I plan on using Homeseer with the ISY; however, from what I've read, I want the ISY to do as much as possible. I plan on going from X-10, Home Control Assistant (excellent program, btw) to the ISY, Homeseer/HSTouch, and a wall-mounted Archos 9 as a touch screen. The only reason I'm leaving HCA is the lack of touch screen interface. And the touch screen is just a want, really. Just trying to put it together in my head first.

Hi, Pre-purchase question. I just found out I can't specify a date range without the year. I can deal with that until a future upgrade, but . . . What is the maximum sunset offset value (if any) for the ISY-99i? I need minus 4:15 for my application. Thanks.

Ooooh. Lurker-soon-to-be-ISY user. Switching over from X-10 to Insteon when Smarthome has a sale. This will be a must-have feature for me, too.
