Program a Scene
I tired this however fade stops dont work well for some reason on scenes for me. Can you think of any other way to do this? I had a similar scene in my Home Theater Room where when I hit the "HTR Off" button on my pronto remote then my ISY99ir would fade the lights down then wait 5 mins before turning off so I knew that the command was recieved - it worked a couple times but then became unrliable and finally stopped working all together.

Program a Scene
I maybe missing something because I am new to having a ISY99/ir - however in the programming section of th admin console I dont see where I can program a scene to dim to a certain preset level. Heres what I am aiming for - Each night at sunset I want certain lights to go on in my home. Easy enough I have already made a program for "sunset" and turn on all the insteon devices I want on. Then at say 9pm when I usualy sit down to watch TV I want all those lights to go into a (nite mode) and dim to 50% or what not. Then at 10 when I am really settled in for the night watching TV I want to have all the lights dim to say 25%. This way if I am not home it gives a "looks like there home" appearance. However here is the kicker - if I am home and I turn off a light say in my kitchen I I dont want it to turn back on and dim it to 50% at 9pm. I want it to do a query and if its off then leave it off. I am doing this now for our entry light and I have it query - but I have 3 programs for this one light not including turning it on at sunset with the others. One to dim at 9 if on another one to dim again if still on at 10 and then one for off at 11. Maybe I have to but I dont want to make a seperate 3 programs for each light that was turned on at sunset. Do I have to do this? Do I setup maybe a "dim night" scene then inside that scene put the levels I want then select it "on" from the program? What am I missing here?

Trigger on Bright/Dim
Thanks that worked - now I have a separate button for off/on/dim and bright. How would I go about making the program to when I hit the All off button all the lights in that scene to dim maybe 25% or twice 15% then 15% so that you can see the command has been received, then have time to leave the room without it going dark on you?

Trigger on Bright/Dim
Sorry I was not clear I want to do 4 buttons like you would use a IR543 and X10. I want one to turn the light off(press) - one for on(press) - one for dim(press&hold) - one for bright(press&hold) - is the key to using the Fade up/down the fade stops? I want on/off buttons to just be a press - then hold the bright button to brighten the lamps and press and hold a dim button to dim the lamp.

Trigger on Bright/Dim
I can confirm that this is possible with the beta ISY-99i/IR PRO. The control commands are FADE UP and FADE DOWN. Can you confirm now that the ISY99/ir is out how one would control the Dim/Bright buttons? I am now trying to setup my ISY99 using the beta 2.6.3 firmware and the dim/bright do just that - right now the dim/bright function is not working. When using the fade/up command the lights from off level go to full on 100% softly and then fade down does from whatever is the on level to off. I cant seem to get any programs to work properly with dim/bright using the Hold command. I can press a ton of times to get it to work but thats is a pain. I would like it to act like an X-10 command - where you can select a light or whatever then hit one button for on, one for off, press and hold one for bright and same for dim. I am using a pronto TSU9600 remote and want to be able to control individual lights if I want. I also have one TSU9400 in my master bedroom and like to be able to control the brightness when watching TV or what not. Maybe if you can give me a sample code? For example what I have is a Scene called "HTR - All" with a program of On then a separate on for Off - when I leave the room I would like to hit a button on my remote called "HTR - All Off" (I know how to setup the IR stuff) - when I hit the All off button it would be nice for all the lights in that scene to dim maybe 25% or twice 15% then 15% so that you can see the command has been received, then have time to leave the room without it going dark on you. Right now this is what I have but its not working (I also tried Fade Down too without it working properly - see above comments) If IR 'TV : 2' is Pressed Then Set Scene 'HTR - ALL' dim Set Scene 'HTR - ALL' dim Wait 1 minute Set Scene 'HTR - ALL' off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Philips Pronto TSU9400/9600 Scripts Two Way Communication
The pronto would have access via the RFX9400 WiFi Extender which would be on the home network. From there it is just writing a script which at this point I also don't think a script exists quite yet. I am just wondering if anyone here has written one yet or used the ISY-26 to do this. Its either this route or go directly into the RadioRA side of things.

Philips Pronto TSU9400/9600 Scripts Two Way Communication
I have a Phillips TSU9400 and TSU9600 with a RFX9400 WiFi Extender. What I am looking for is a simple script to run on the pronto to "see" what insteon devices are on/off/dim level in each room. Does anyone do this now and/or have a pronto script they can email me? Is this even possible to do?
