Sub-Routine

Hi Dwayne, There is a way that I think would be better for you. Place all the lights in a Scene. Add all the RemoteLinc buttons you need, as controllers, to that scene. While viewing the Scene select a RL button - it should be red as a controller. Use the sliders to set each device On or Off as you desire for that scene. Select another RL button in the scene and change the device levels you desire to take effect when that button is pressed On. Do this for each button on the RL. So button 3 (for example) could turn off all the lights except the Exam Light. Then you can select scenes using the On buttons. If you are using dimmers note that you can select Ramp Rates and On Levels for each device for any controller for that scene. Rand

Hello Dwayne, A RemoteLinc button cannot be controlled. However your program can control the same scene that is controlled by the RemoteLinc. Rand

Hi Jon, You have it figured out. There is a Wiki page: Using the Event Viewer Rand

Then you want the two Waits to add up to 60 minutes. The way it is now the sprinkler will run at 7:00, 8:10, 9:20, etc.

There are different numbers of control stages depending on the model. The 1800 & 1900 have a 5 year warranty. Edit: It looks like the 1900 comes with the humidity sensor built-in.

Hi Rich, No, that means the program will quit running when it is not 7AM. Do you want the second wait to be only 50 minutes? Rand

The same applies to Windows 7.

Intelligent SYstem I have no idea why it is a 99, but the i is for Insteon.

Glad to help Jon. You can right-click on a program name and select Copy to Clipboard. Paste between Code tags to maintain the formatting. Rand

Thanks Chris, another great example! I avoided the Fade and Bright commands with my programs so it won't be so difficult to override my programs for any one light. That way we can brighten/dim the Backyard without triggering the Return To Scene program for all the outside lights. When we come back in I can press the Off which will activate a program to return all the Outside Lights to the desired scene for that time. Rand

You don't need a program to keep resetting the scene every minute, you need programs that watch for the press of a switch. When they see a switch press wait for a few minutes and then set the scene On again. I use these for my outside lights. Since the lights are on timers no one should ever have to press a switch. If they do it is something unusual. The Folder has the time constraints. Folder Conditions for 'When Evening' Add conditions to limit when programs in this folder are allowed to run. If From Sunset - 15 minutes To 11:00:00PM (same day) Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. Switch On: If Control 'Outside Lights / Backyard' is switched On Or Control 'Outside Lights / Backyard' is switched Fast On Then Set Scene 'Outside Lights' Fast On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Switch Off: If Control 'Outside Lights / Backyard' is switched Off Or Control 'Outside Lights / Backyard' is switched Fast Off Then Set 'Outside Lights / Backyard' 40% Run Program 'All Off OL Eve' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') All Off OL Eve: If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set Scene 'OL Evening' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') These programs wait for the Control Off (we are adults here and have been subjected to the ruler on the knuckles experience) but you could add a Wait to the On program to trigger the Off program. Note that my Off program does not turn the lights Off but returns them to the previous state. Rand

You can use the All Off or the Dim button without affecting other settings.

Create a scene for the devices and you should not have any problems. A scene only sends one command, no matter how many devices are included. If you do want to control individual devices I would suggest a Wait 1 second every 5-6 devices. Note that they will turn on/off sequentially with ~0.5 second delays rather than simultaneously. Rand

Darrell has a very complete set of programs in the Wiki: ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Using_Motion_Sensors_in_Bathrooms. I will add that using longer ramp rates lessens the effect of program lag. Rand

Hi Mark, The Status of the sensor will always be On. The MS will send another On only after it would have sent an Off which is dependent on the Timeout setting. So your program should watch for Control rather than Status. Rand

Hello Kyle, You will have to remove the InlineLinc from the scene and add it back as a controller. Rand

Hi Mitch, The ISY can be used to create the scenes and then removed from the system. Since you have a spare ISY do you have a spare PLM? If so you should factory reset both devices. Install the ISY/PLM in his home. Link the devices and create the scenes. Create an ISY backup file. Then select File | Remove Modem (PLM). This will delete all the links between devices and the PLM. You can then remove the ISY/PLM from his home with no broken links. If he decides to use an ISY/PLM (or you wish to make changes to the system) he can Restore ISY from the backup, then Restore Modem (PLM) and you will be back in business. Rand

If you always want the pump to run from 11:20 to 3:20 then have a program do that. When the heater wants to turn on use a program to turn on the pump and run it 10 minutes longer than the heater. If you want the pump to run no more than 4 hours a day we will need extra programs to keep track of how long it has run with the heater. This should work but do you want to limit the time when the program runs? Don't you always want the pump on if the heater is on? Rand

Hi Mitch, You are correct, when the folder turns false the programs are aborted. You may wish to consider not using folders for these programs, it shouldn't be an issue to have multiple conditions in each program. Do you want the pump to run from 1120 to 1620 everyday whether the heater is on or not? And then be sure the pump comes on when the heater is running outside those hours? Rand

Some of that is here: Insteon_device_list.

The unnamed device should not be an issue. The ISY refers to devices by their Insteon addresses. If you see the System Busy for too long I suspect clients that haven't been closed.

Hi Gary, Would you please try to use this link to access your ISY? http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/2.7.14 Rand

You can use a range (From | For) with Last Run if that works for you.

In addition to Michel's questions. There should not be any LEDs illuminated on an ISY-26. If the RX LED is lit that indicates a problem with the PLM. Rand

Hi Brian, Last Run Time is an exact time. Can you use a Wait within your program(s)? I would suggest the folder conditions be limited to the schedule conditions and using the other conditions in programs. Folder Conditions for 'Night' Add conditions to limit when programs in this folder are allowed to run. If From Sunset To Sunrise (same day) Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. If Program 'OHD Open' is True Then Wait 5 minutes Send Notification to 'Text to Blackberry' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Rand
