Ok, sorry to bother... Can't seem to solve the above issue with the lights coming on at 30% for a moment, and then going up to 75%. I know why, I think, they are doing this, and it's because the local level is set at 30%. I just can't seem to fix it. I tried creating another scene, "non early morning MB can lights", where the on level was at 75% at .3 second ramp. I used the same exact program, above but have it calling for this new scene in the If statement. Any ideas?

Yeah. I figured that. I'm working on one now. I've got it working somewhat. When I turn the light on, it first goes to 30%, pauses a moment, and then goes to 75%. Argh.

Ok, we're getting there. Thank you! I've added in the scheduled time that I want the slow ramp to happen, I've tested it and it works. But, at any other time outside of that scheduled time, my lights come on at 30% (I used 30 as 45% was too bright). I've been playing around with stuff to try and get the lights to come on at 75% at any other time, but have had no luck. Here is the scheduled program: If On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri From 3:00:00AM To 5:40:00AM (same day) And Control 'Master Bath Can Lights' is not switched Off And Status 'Master Bath Can Lights' is 30% Then Set Scene 'Early Morning MB Lights' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Now I understand, but here is my problem. When I go to Adjust Scene, the only option that shows up is an actual scene I created...the one and only scene. None of my switchlincs show up as an option in the drop down menu. EDIT: Ok, somehow I figured it out. I created a scene with the Master Bath Can Lights as a controller. Plugged this in and it now works. But...here are my new issues: 1. I have LED's that are being controlled which don't really show any light until they are at about 30%. 2. I don't want the same 4 minute ramp rate when the lights are turned off. I want them to go off immediately. So, here are my two new questions: Can I control the % that the light first comes on at? Meaning, can I program the light to come on at 45% and then ramp to 75% over 4 minutes? And, can I set things up so that when I hit the switch to turn the lights off, they Fast Off instead of having a 4 minute ramp to off? Thanks!

This is still not making sense. I obviously need to create a scene named Master Bath Lights, according to your example. My switchlinc is named Master Bath Can Lights in My example. What should my scene include? If I'm controlling the ramp rate and on level through the program, why do I even need a scene? This is very frustrating to someone who doesn't know how to program, yet wants to take advantage of isy's full potential. I feel like a dweeb asking for what is probably such a simple thing.

I'm sorry I just realized I posted this in the wrong place. Feel free to move. this is what I have thus far: If On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri From 3:00:00AM To 10:30:00PM (same day) Then In Scene 'Bath Lights' Set 'Master Bath Can Lights' 30% (On Level) In Scene 'Bath Lights' Set 'Master Bath Can Lights' 4.0 Min (Ramp Rate) Else In Scene 'Bath Lights' Set 'Master Bath Can Lights' 75% (On Level) In Scene 'Bath Lights' Set 'Master Bath Can Lights' 0.5 Sec (Ramp Rate) I found this program elsewhere on the forum. This doesn't seem to work either. I'm obviously missing something fundamental here.

So I'm trying to program a switchlinc dimmer. I'd like it to come on at about 30% if it's turned on between 3am and 5am and a ramp rate of 4 minutes eventually going to 75%. At any other time, it would come on at regular ramp rate (like 1 sec) to 75%. I currently have the regular (local control) on level set at 75%, and I created a scene where the on level is 75% at a ramp rate of 4 minutes. When I create the program, the light comes on, but goes to 75% and then goes down to 30%, but it doesn't have the slow ramp. I want to make sure that at any other time of day other than the specified time, that the light comes on at 75%. If I need full brightness I'll do a double-tap. Can anyone help? I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but as I've only written one other basic program, I need a bit of assistance. Thanks!

Got it. It took about 30 seconds for the station list to come up. I guess I just wasn't waiting long enough, although I wouldn't have expected it to take that long.

I had not seen the wiki, thank you. Seems the problem is that the list of stations is not coming up when I enter my location and choose my area. Something seems wonky.

I just installed the weatherbug module a few days ago. I have a question, because things just don't seem right. I've used my zip code as my location ID, and I've even used the Locate Me feature. The problem is that the conditions displayed are not my local conditions. Right now it's telling me it's -7F outside, when it's actually about 65F. Did I miss something here? Is there documentation somewhere that explains how to use this feature and set it up properly? Thanks!

Received my new adapter today. They overnighted it, which is just fantastic! I'm going to install it tonight when I get home from work.

That's the answer I've been trying to figure out. Thank you! So, it turns out Crutchfield (where I bought my thermostat and adapter) is going to have Smarthome ship out the latest and greatest adapter to me, at no charge. Now that is what I call customer service!

It seems like I'm outta luck unless the company I bought my thermostat from is willing to exchange it (they're looking into it), as I haven't had any luck in getting anything other than V28 to show up.

Thank you. I guess I'm still confused a bit though. It's my understanding that the latest and greatest version of the dongle is 2.1 I have 1.2 on the back of my dongle. Am I going to miss out on any features because of this? Should I try to exchange my dongle for the latest revision? I have tried the reset a couple of times and the isy still shows V28 and I don't seem to have the 4 nodes. Maybe I'm confused as to where these will be. Do they show up under the Device tree?

Anyone?

I'm actually getting V.28, not v00. What I'm asking is if my adaptor states that it's Rev 1.2 (on the back of the dongle), will I get the 4 nodes? (I tried doing the reset and I still don't have 4 nodes) ~Brian

My adapter says Rev 1.2, but I just purchased it about a month ago. What are my options?

Upgraded with no apparent issues!

I think I got this. I didn't see a pull down menu, though. So is there no way to ramp lights off?

I'm brand new to the whole Insteon world. I'm trying to grasp the programming and scene thing, but it seems like it's slow to absorb into my brain. I want to do the following, but I'm just not sure how to accomplish it: I have a light that I'd like to come on 1/2 hour after sunset with a slow ramp rate (let's say 4 minutes). I want it to stay on until about 1am. At 1am, I want it to ramp off (is this even possible?). I want it to do this every day. I'd like the light to respond normally (fast on at 100%) if i physically push the switch. The switch is a 2476D and I'm using an ISY 99i. This is the program I have thus far: If From Sunset + 30 minutes To 1:00:00AM (next day) Then Set 'Shed Ext.' On Else Set 'Shed Ext.' Off Can anyone help?

Firmware is 2.7.15 Address is the one provided with my instructions: http://www.universal-devices.com/99i I just opened up my console using http://www.universal-devices/99i/2.8.10 Is that the correct thing to do? Things seem (so far) fixed this way. Update: Got it to work. Updated firmware and was able to set up notification and successfully tested a text notification. Is there a way to test an actual custom notification?

I just installed my ISY 99i last night and I'm having the same issue.
