LeeG, you are awesome! Thank you for taking the time to explain the details of the Log files and the Group commands. I tried hooking up a different lamp, but I still had the same issue. However, after re-reading the LampLinc manual, I found the instructions for disabling this Load Sensing "feature" (which is enabled by default) After turning Load Sensing off, my lights now turn on at 30% instead of full power and my logs no longer contain the extra Group commands. In case anyone else has the same issue, you can disable Load Sensing by performing the following on the LampLinc device: 1. Press & hold the Set button on LampLinc until it beeps (3 seconds) The LampLinc Status LED will begin blinking green 2. Double-tap the Set button on LampLinc LampLinc will beep and its Status LED will stop blinking and turn on solid green if the load is on or solid red if it is off Source: http://wiki.smarthome.com/index.php?title=2457D2_Manual#Enabling_.2F_Disabling_Load_Sensing_on_LampLinc Thanks again LeeG and Michel for your quick responses and vast knowledge!

Thank you both for your responses and helping me understand the log files. I created a program that simply sets the light at 30%. Below is the log. It appears that the ISY device is issuing the correct command, but I have something extra immediately following the 30% command. I can pick out that the ST 255 means full brightness, but I don't know what causes it (Standard "Group"?). I did try disabling all other programs but had the same result. Any ideas?

Hi Michel, Thanks for your response. The LampLinc does successfully acknowledge and perform the Dim and Brighten commands, in about 20% increments, from the Main screen of the Admin Console. If it helps, I wrote the following test program and posted the results of each step in parenthesis: Then Set 'Hallway Light' Off (lights turns off correctly) Wait 5 seconds Set 'Hallway Light' 30% (light turns on 100%) Wait 5 seconds Set 'Hallway Light' 30% (light dims to 30% correctly) Wait 5 seconds Set 'Hallway Light' 95% (light brightens to 95% correctly) Wait 5 seconds Set 'Hallway Light' 30% (light dims to 30% correctly) However, if I take the "wait" out... Then Set 'Hallway Light' Off (lights turns off) Wait 5 seconds Set 'Hallway Light' 30% (light turns on 100%) Set 'Hallway Light' 30% (command is ignored; light stays at 100%)

Hello, First off let me say that this is a great community and it has been awesome in helping me set up my new ISY-99i system. I'm having an issue using a program to set the dim level on my LampLinc 2457D2 R1.0. The ISY-99i has firmware version 2.7.15. The LampLinc ('Hallway Light') is set with an On Level of 100% and Ramp Rate of 0.5 sec. If the following program runs: If Time is Sunset Then Set 'Hallway Light' 30% Else - No Actions - ...the LampLinc always comes on at 100%. I've tried creating a Scene with the LampLinc as the only device with an On Level of 30%, but it also comes on at 100%. I've also tried an "On" command, followed by a "Set 30%" command, but the light still doesn't change from 100%. However, I can manually change the dim level with MobiLinc or the web interface after the light is turned on. Since I'm new to this, it's quite possible that I'm missing something obvious. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
