I have some i3 keypad and am able to make scenes and everything but some of them came from the factory where the bottom button is the actual controlled circuit. and some came with the top button as the circuit. Is there a way to change that? Also some of them seem to be able to ramp the lights on and off and some dont. I have set the mode of the main switch to dimmer and set the ramp rate. the same way I do everything else. Am I missing something?

Yes its in my garage so I wanted task lighting. When the dimmer is at 90% no flicker but if its going to overload the switch I will probably put it to relay mode. Although insteon gave me this response to this question for an embedded device that says 50W LED max and I have 80Watts on it Question: One other question is I am using an embedded device to turn on some recessed led canless lights. there are 8 drawing 8.5 watts but I noticed on the device it says only 50 watts led or 200 watt regular. Is that ok or do I need to split the feed and use 2 of the embedded devices? Or maybe you have another solution? Response: It is mainly for the potential inrush current of LED's that can be 5 times higher wattage / current that their rated values when they first turn On. I have to officially tell you that it is over the rating but you will likely be fine. If you add a little ramp rate to the device so it takes a second or two to turn On, it can be helpful.

these are the fixtures. but I have an older model https://www.homedepot.com/p/Commercial-Electric-1-ft-x-4-ft-4000-Lumens-Dimmable-White-Integrated-LED-Flat-Panel-Ceiling-Flush-Mount-Fixture-with-Selectable-5CCT-FP1X4-6WY-WH-HDT/320358738

Ok actually what I did was set the on level to 90% inside the garage and that seems to have fixed the dimming of the exterior sconces.

That seems to have fixed the flicker just changing the inside switch that was overloaded mode to relay instead of dimmer. And it even still does a ramp rate to turn on and off which is very nice.

I actually just realized the leds inside are 300W 50w a piece X 6 so the dimmer switch is overloaded. If i change it back to on / off do i get the higher limit of the on/off switch?

In a garage I have a dedicated 15 Amp 14/2 line going to a 2 gang wall switch box where 2 Insteon Dimmer Switches are. not i3 paddles. One controls 6 led surface mount panel lights in the room and the other controls 4 wall sconces outside with led bulbs in them. both are in dimmer mode. When Both of them are on the outside bulbs flicker. If I turn off the inside lights the flicker stops. If I remove either switch and wire the load directly to the line with a wire nut there is no flicker. Any ideas? I have tried all i know to try

its a new i3 4 button keypad. it seems to group the switch weirdly im still playing with it and have some time to dedicate it tomorrow. I will report back. The only other thing is on the keypad flag object the buttons on the bottom of the eisy interface they seem to overrun past the edges of the screen and i cant se them all. I will try and get a screenshot.

it is not on the same service. there are 2 separate service lines on the property ah so just used kasa in the far building. and they work well with the eisy?

On my property I have a main building where my network is with my eisy and insteon devices. I also have a separate building a few hundred feet away that is on the same network via a ubiquiti bridge with insteon switches in it. It is also on a separate power meter. Is there a way to have those switches also in the eisy? Maybe I need a second eisy and PLM and just manage it separately or is there a way since it is on the same network to do something fancier?

Ah so just label them as "Master Ceiling Light Flag" and then use them for initial setup? And what about keypads? Sometimes the keypad button says 100% instead of off on and only lets me query it. typically the button that is actually connected to a fixture is doing that for me.

I opened up my eisy on 5.5.4? and linked all my devices and renamed them placed them in folders. Then proceeded to update the eisy and it seems to have made double of everything with the label i3 keypad flag after it. What is that all about and do I really need 2 objects for each device?
