I have been gone for several hours and then came back and noticed that it does work now. The light turns on in button H like it is supposed to. I am not familiar enough with the isy to know why it now works and earlier it did not. The only thing that is not working is the KPL that the other lights are attaced to. They stay lit after button H shuts it all down but I am pretty sure I know what I need to to. Add the KPL buttons into the one scene with all the other switches and it should shut them down right? Or do I add them to the shut down program?

Okay, these are the lights that I have downstairs. I want to make sure they are all off as I sometimes leave them on. I want to be able to see button H light on if any of these are on and be able to push button H and shut it or them down. When they are all of I want button H to shut off. Yes, this should be simple but you are talking about a rookie doing this. I can do lots of things and am good at lots of things but this is not one of them as I am new to this and don't do it enough to become good at it. I know I will become good at it one day when I get some time to play with it with many days in succession but now I do a little here and a little there and forget some things when I have had a couple of weeks or months in between the programming. Sorry for the ignorance but just have patience with me. Thanks for the help you have given.

If Status 'Control Room' is On Or Status 'Downstairs Bathroom C/ Lights' is On Or Status 'Downstairs Bathroom M/Lights' is On Or Status 'HT Table lamp' is On Or Status 'Hallway' is On Or Status 'Little Projector Light' is On Or Status 'Movie Screen Room' is On Or Status 'Office' is On Or Status 'Sconce' is On Or Status 'Snack Room' is On Or Status 'Stairway Light' is On Or Status 'Storage Room' is On Or Status 'Theater Seating Room' is On Then Set Scene 'Basement Light Check' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') If Status 'Control Room' is Off And Status 'Downstairs Bathroom C/ Lights' is Off And Status 'Downstairs Bathroom M/Lights' is Off And Status 'HT Table lamp' is Off And Status 'Hallway' is Off And Status 'Little Projector Light' is Off And Status 'Movie Screen Room' is Off And Status 'Office' is Off And Status 'Sconce' is Off And Status 'Snack Room' is Off And Status 'Stairway Light' is Off And Status 'Storage Room' is Off And Status 'Theater Seating Room' is Off Then Set Scene 'Basement Light Check' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Here are the two programs I have.

Okay, lets say the switch to the snack room. That is one of the switches that I want to make sure is off when I go upstairs. That is the main switch to snack room. I turn it on at the source (the switch to the snack room) and go upstairs and check and button H is not on. If I am in my isy and turn it on at the scene the light to H turns on and when I push it the light goes off at the source and so does H. Does this make sense? I will post my programs. This just came to me, if my switch to the snack room (the direct source button)(the main switch) is also on another KPL do I need to include it in my program or scene?

I am doing something wrong. Here is what happens. If I turn it on at the direct source of the switch, the light on button H does not come on. But if I go into the isy and go to my scene where button H controls all the lights to go off and turn them on in there the light on H will come on and I can go and turn it off from H. Even if the light is not on at the button it will turn off the lights so I am missing something somewhere. What is it?

Okay, I have the scene with all the switches I want to turn off with the KPL H as controller. I have a program which has all the switches on turn the button H on. The last program I am not sure what to do. What would I need to do the check all switches are off etc. Thanks for your help. Oberkc, sorry about that. I tend to think that everyone knows what I am talking about even if I don't

So I don't need a scene with all the switches in them with the KPL. Okay.

There are multiple switches for some so it will be best to make a program. I have If status all done but have a question about the then part. What do I select in that? Insteon, the KPL key and then ??? It has a on # and off #??? If I use button H do I need to create a scene? I had a scene created with the button and all the other switches to turn off. It turned them off fine but just no light with that scene. You say create a scene with only the KPL. What wording would I use? Thanks.

I thought that I could check my light status of my basement etc. and turn it off if something was left on. I can't get my KPL button that I want to use for that to turn on when those basement lights are on. It turns on when I push the button to turn it on but it won't turn on when they are on. Maybe I am misunderstanding how to make it work. Thanks.

I have the venstart adapter. How do I fix this if this is the problem?

Well, my backyard sensor lights just quit working the other day. The sensors would blink red but nothing would happen. I went and checked on the isy to make sure it was all okay and the programming looked all in tact. I was then going to make some changes and some error messages came up on the screen of the isy and it would not let me make any changes. I can't remember what the error messages said and I did not write them down but now I can go in a make any changes I want without any error message so something has corrected itself. To me that is kind of crazy. I wish I could give you more info but I was in a hurry and did not have time to write down the error message.

Do crazy things happen sometimes where you have a program that has been working for a couple of months and then one day it stops working. Everything else works fine but this one program quits. I tried redoing the program and I kept getting error messages. I then deleted the programming for it only to have it come back when I restarted the isy. I will find out tonight if the program works again. Can I check it with a scene test?

Just curious if it would work with zwave etc. products. I have all insteon but just curious.

Does the isy only work with insteon products?

I have a curtain closing device plugged into an appliancelinc. When the closer gets the power it opens until its stopping point and the same when it closes.

I guess it would but if they are out of sync with one another it would turn off the lights when I want them on etc because it does not know if the lights are on or off.

I use button one to control the theater lights that I want on before the movie and to come on after the movie is over. I use button 6 open and close the curtain.

I am using a remotelinc to open the curtain but I use a harmony remote to turn on the pj. I don't care if it does anything with the pj because that is not how I want it to go. I am trying to get my lights to work with my curtain because when I close them it usually means the show is starting.

I have a theater that has a side curtain that closes with an appliancelinc. I am trying to find a way to program the lights to go off when I shut the curtain and turn on when I open the curtain. The problem is as you all know you have to set it to off before you can turn it back on. Has anyone come up with a program that would work? I am not smart enough to do it.

Will the 8 button insteon timer not work with a fantech inline bathroom exhaust fan?

Will the 8 button insteon timer not work with a fan to turn it on for the alotted time on the button?

Crapola There are a couple things that insteon needs to make but they don't. I guess I may have to just use the 8 button timer from insteon and run it in parallel with the speed control that company sells.

Would a switchlinc work the same as the slider dimmer or speed control as they call it? All the slider dimmer does it reduce the wattage or power to the device correct? Is that not what the switchlinc does? Then to put it on a timer use the 8 button in parallel with the switchlinc? I may need to contact them and see what they think?

"They" is fantech and wave plumbing. Here is the fan model. It takes about 60-70 watts of power is all. http://www.waveplumbing.com/store/index ... ts_id=3533

Thanks. Do you have any suggestions? Could I use an 8 button timer from insteon in parallel with a switchlinc? Would a dimmer switch not work? Or is this slide switch different? http://www.waveplumbing.com/store/index ... ts_id=3008 Thanks for the help.
