I have programmed the isy for a lot of things but not anything very big. What extra things will the isy give me instead of just programming through the thermostat? I guess I can always get help too

If I have an Isy99 do I need to buy the 7 day programmable thermostat? I want 7 day capability so I was wanting to know for sure. Someone said someplace that the cheaper one is all you need if you have an isy. How complicated is it to program with the isy? Thanks.

Is it pretty easy to do Rand. By the way, how are you? I have been gone so much I have not had much time to play and have only forgotten things. I hate it when that happens.

The sky is the limit is what it sounds like. Cool. If I set up 8 light zones to be turned on can I turn them off with the same button that turned them on. For instance bedroom button is pushed - on comes the light and if I hit it again will it shut off?

A person could use the insteon timer also could they not and then program it to come on for 10 minutes a day like you do?

How would a person typically set up an 8 button keypad? Would you be so kind as to give an example? Thanks.

So what switch are you using? It has to have a switch doesn't it?

When you say responder you mean? Also, when I get the keypad it will be able to turn on and off the lights from that single key correct? I feel so stupid sometimes when I work with this new stuff and you guys seem to know it all

What timer switch are you using?

I am going to be getting my first 8 button keypad and can't find a topic on installation. I am sure it is out there but must be doing something wrong on the search. How much different is it to set up than a remote linc etc? Thanks guys.

What timer switch are you using?

What timer switch are you using?

Is there a way I can control when lights go on and off in the house when we are on vacation automatically to simulate that we are home?

I have a V2 sensor.

To get the motion sensor to be more sensitive to darkness so that it will turn on sooner for people walking past what do I need to adjust? Thanks.

Oh, I guess I misunderstood. He just mentions setting the set options etc.

Should it go up or down?

What number should I set the darkness to? It is at 35 right now.

My isy was in the drop down. That was my big question. I thought the isy is what I should select but I had a brain meltdown.

When I go to portforward where will I find the ISY? Then when I get in to port forward, do I use the computer in the dropdown or the isy? I think the isy but have 2nd thoughts?

With my MS what is the best way to decrease sensitivity? It goes a little too far and gives to many false alarms. I also want my MS to respond quicker after it has been activated and the light is on. After it shuts off it takes too long for it to be responsive again. I really appreciate the help. Thanks.

I have been at this for about 4 days now and reading your stuff makes me sick. I want to be able to do what you are doing but I have a LOT to learn. Would you come over and help me out?

What would you do with pin 4? I just don't know.

I have a question on jumper settings. 1. I will keep as default, on one wire. 2. It is outside so the lights don't bother me so I will keep that default (unless the batteries will last longer with it on two pins) 3. I want it to work in the daytime also because I am using it as an alert to company coming, so default it stays. 4. I don't understand this one. Feel kind of stupid but could someone explain it to me. What automatic countdown? Do I need it on or off? Default or two pins. 5. Do I have this on two pins or not. I am using the isy so you tell me. I am asking all this because my programs work with the sensor but they work and then don't work for a short period of time then they work again. Anyone? Thanks.

What are the most common settings you have found to work with your skylink motion sensor? Can anyone guide me? I am just learning and did my triggerlinc with a little help but could use a little more now. Thanks
