So, I just spent some time in the wiki looking for this, but it appears that the latest ISY/994i documentation is for 3.3.16(?) . Or am I just looking in the wrong location. I'm basically just looking for the latest doc for reference. Thanks.

All, Simple question, did the search, didn't find an answer, so I figured I would ask. I have a Keypadlinc that is dying (buzzing / arcing on about 1/3 of the keypresses), but it is still "working". I have a replacement unit on its way from Amazon by Tuesday. I have an ISY 994i Pro that controls the whole system. Assuming that I physicaly pull the old unit out & wire the new unit in, how do I tell the ISY that the new SN replaces the old SN, and do all the reprogramming of the keys, etc.? I'd rather sit in front of the computer for 30 minutes vs standing in the hallway for 10 minutes, if that makes any difference. James

Ok, I'm trying to do the same thing here (for my Emergency button). I can't set the button to simply ON or OFF, I have the various backlighting levels (0/0 through 15/7). And I get the same results as the OP. I have created a Scene called "emergency", to which the button is a RESPONDER (only), and I can have it blink, but only a set number of times, and only after the number of blinks can I hit it again to turn it off (do the reset from emergency program). (Sorry, I was typing when the post immediately above was being done)

I am on a Staycation this week, so I'm looking to improve my Insteon system. I used to have an X10 system, and used the All Lights On, and was looking to do something similar on my 8 buton KPLs (I have 1 button "reserved" for this on all of them). I have a house with 12 lights, 4 ceiling fans, and a 4 controllers. I am also a "classically-trained" programmer, which may be what is getting in my way . ------------- First, I'm trying to set the system to remember its state when the Emergency-All button is hit. I was thinking of using a variable "HouseState", and doing binary arithmetic ("If Kitchen Sink is ON then $HouseState |= 8", etc. for all 12 lights.) Is there a way to do all 12 of these without having to write 12 programs (one for each IF statement) ? Sub-question: if I do this using 1 variable, are there any math / test functions that will make the comparision easier (e.g MOD(HouseStatus, or using HouseStatus |= 8 as a condition)? Or is this an additional 12 programs (one for each variable)? ------------- Second, is there a way to (in one command) read the statuses all of the devices in the household, perhaps send back as a list or something. ------------ I can't be the first person to do this, but my searches on "Emergency" or "All ON" have not proven fruitful. Pointers to existing posts are also welcome. Or just tell me that variables are cheap, use 1 per light, and be done with it! Thanks. James
