  1. You could have done it in 5 minutes. Thanks for that, rubbing it in. 😜ðŸĪŠ All the switches in my home are Insteon. I have a very simple setup, but I can almost guarantee you that in my small town of 5,000 people, I'm the only person that has a setup as complicated as I have. It is simple, but to everyone else, it is complicated. To you, it would be simple, and I'm sure you could do so much more than what I am doing. I do have a couple of neat things I've done. On my 8-key switch in my bedroom, I have 4 of the buttons set to be able to turn off other places in the house if we forget to turn anything off. That way we don't have to go downstairs or to the other room to do it. I guess if I took the time to research more, I could find more cool things to do with the keypads. Maybe I could get more keypads down the road if so. Do you know where I could find a list of cool things to look at and maybe try? Again, thank you so much for taking YOUR TIME to help me out.
  2. So, how much better is the eisy over my isy994i? What can I do with the eisy, that I can't do with the 994? Thanks.
  3. I got the OFF button to do what I wanted it to do. It shuts off the other buttons and the backlight also turns off. This was a lot more time-consuming than just getting the actual timer Insteon used to have, but I learned a lot by doing this. I want to thank you so much apostolakisl, I couldn't have done it without you.
  4. I got it to shut off the fan when any of the other buttons are on by doing the same thing you said to do in the scenes, but the light behind it turns on and stays on. I'll try to figure out how to get the backlight to not turn on at all.
  5. Got it. All done and works. Yippee. Thanks so much. My only thing left is to get the off button to turn any of the buttons off and the light of the off button off as well, or at least tone it down to the level the other buttons are when off. Does this make sense? I'll look it over and see if I can figure it out, but I doubt it. I'm sure it isn't hard, at least for you, but I'll go and try. Again, thank you so much for your time. It is appreciated.
  6. On your edit part, where you say that I might put all of the kpl buttons in each one of them, are you saying all 8 scenes I created for the switch? 2 Min scene, 5 Min scene, 10 Min scene, 15 Min scene etc. Take and put KPL A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H in each one of them? Scene: Bathroom Fan 5 Min Bath Fan Outlet (This is the applicancelinc in the attic) responder Bathroom Fan - B controller Are you saying I would add all the rest in this scene, plus all the other scenes? Bathroom Fan - A responder (this is the main button) Bathroom Fan - C responder Bathroom Fan - D responder Bathroom Fan - E responder Bathroom Fan - F responder Bathroom Fan - G responder Bathroom Fan - H responder So the primary button in this scene is B, right? And if I did the scene for let's say the 1 HR, F would be the primary, and the others would be the non-primary. ??? Sorry for the ignorance. This is just a little different than anything I've done before. Thanks.
  7. I think that is it. It shut off the fan and the light. in the Then section after I say wait, do I need to set bath fan outlet off and the scene or just the scene and it will take care of the light??? I attached my program.
  8. And maybe I'm just not explaining it well enough. I do that a lot. I am getting the fan to shut off at set time, but the lighted button is staying on all buttons but the main button A which gives me the option to turn it off. The other buttons don't give me that option.
  9. So, I have the A button working where it turns the fan off and the light on the button turns off. I have the other buttons where they turn the fan off, but not the light behind the button. I'll have to look at the settings for this because I have no option in your devices for that. I only have query, backlight and write changes. No off.
  10. Well, I explained it in an earlier post. I have a fantech fan plugged into an appliancelinc outlet up in the attic. It is not hardwired at all. The switch is actually controlling the appliancelinc which turns the fan on and off. I want each button to run the time that were on the previous buttons. Run for 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 1hr, 2hr, off. That's what the buttons were and how the timer worked from the previous insteon timer.
  11. I have everything created. 8 scenes and 8 programs. All seem to be working. I just need a little tweeking. When I had the main button programmed, I had the program turn off the outlet. The problem was that it didn't turn off the backlight of the button. So, I went and program it to turn that button off also. I'll test the other buttons and see if the backlight turns off on them or not.
  12. So, if I want the off button to turn everything off if it is on should it be like this? If Bathroom fan is switched on or Bathroom fan B is switched on or Bathroom fan C is switched on etc. Then Set Bath Fan Outlet Off Does that look right?
  13. I figured it out. Duh. I'm not actually turning off the button, I should be turning off the appliancelinc the fan is plugged into. When I put in the outlet it is turning off, it gives me the option to turn it off. I could do it for the button on A, but not for the other buttons since they are just in scenes. I still need to figure out how to program the off button to turn any of the other buttons off if I want to. This is how the old timer was. I am keeping the off button. I guess I could program it to be a 3 hour timer, but I would rather have it turn all the other buttons off.
  14. Okay, I went in and did that, but now when I go to your devices it gives me the option of query, backlight, and write changes. What the heck am I doing wrong?
  15. I went through that part of your devices. How did I miss it? I thought something must have changed. Thanks.
  16. I'm so far behind with programming. How do I get to set fan switch off? I'll look. I have If 'Bathroom Fan' is switched on Then wait 2 minutes
  17. I have gotten to the point of Bathroom fan is switched on Wait 2 minutes. Where do I go to get it to say turn off device? I do the if for getting it to fan on, then for the time of 2 min, what do I do next for getting it to shut off after 2 min? Thanks.
  18. I have the buttons that tell the minutes, so that would solve that problem.
  19. Someone told me something like this. Create 7 scenes Example: 2 Min Put the "B" button in it as the Controller and the load as the responder 5 Min Same for C 10 Min Same for D 15 min Same for E 20 min Same for F 30 min Same for G 45 min Same for H When each button is pushed the light goes ON Create a program for each scene. First Program: If Control of A is On then wait 1 min then turn A Off B Button: If control of B button is On then wait 5 min then turn 5 min scene off C Button Keep the same pattern and just edit the button, time, and scene to match
  20. Can I use my 2334-222 8 button dimmer switch I have sitting around? Brand new a year or 2 ago. Never used and waiting to come out of the box.
  21. I have an 8 key model 2334-222 I purchased several years ago that is brand new as I keep some switches on hand. Will this work? Or, Can I fix the switch I have? If so, what do you think actually went bad in it? Are there any videos on the fix?
  22. That's what it is. It is a 2484DWH8 KeypadLinc Countdown Timer v.00 After talking with Insteon, I don't know for sure what will work. I have an email to them, and am hoping my KeypadLinc Dimmer switch I have will work somehow. Does anyone on here have the knowledge to know for sure what will work or what I can do? I have the countdown timer in a scene controlling an ApplianceLinc outlet I have with the fantech bathroom fan plugged into that.
  23. It is listed in the isy as 2484DWH8. Does the D stand for dimmer?
  24. Yes, but do I get the dimmer or just the on/off KPL? That is what my main question is? How can I tell if I have the dimmer or on/off? Thanks.
  25. I had an 8-keypad Insteon device that I have as a timer for a bathroom fan. It just went bad the other day. It has been so long since I bought it that I can't remember what I would need to replace it. Can I just use a standard Insteon 8 keypad dimmer?
