Hi guys; I'm hoping I can do this. I have a KPL button that turns on some lights in the basement. (lets say 5 lights for argument) When I press the KPL button off, can I have the KPL also trigger a scene that turns off ALL the lights in the basement? (not just the 5 lights the KPL button turns on) Its a little frustrating when I have to go down to shut off a light not controlled by the KPL button's scene. Just wondering. Drew

My programs still don't trigger. I switched the contents of the CONF like you mentioned. Is it because I programmed the programs with the old ISY? (Clearly I'm just swinging in the dark here haha) If I have to as a last resort I can try to delete a program, redo it and see if it works. I assume it will I can spend the next little while changing them one by one if that's the only option. Will you be working on the KPL bug? Drew

I switched from the 99 to the 994i (found a proper backup) The GUI looks the same as far as the programs and scenes I had but now I find that theres a lot of discrepancies as far as programs etc… from what I had previously. For example I have a night timer that now turns on a different light and my programs don't seem to work. Is there a difference (besides the obvious) between the 99i and the 994i that would decode some stuff from a backup differently than its predecessor? I also don't receive emails from the ISY when a notification should be sent. +edit+ (fixed this issue, it was switched from default) (I also see scenes that i didnt have before, remnants from old scenes? they are named Scene 97 etc…) Just asking before I have to pick through everything one by one and fix them. Drew

Sounds like the best choice is to use the older back up and re program what I find missing Thank you for all the help. Drew

Hi guys; Quick (and maybe stupid) question. I just received my 994i to replace a non functioning 99i Can i just pop out the smart cards and transfer the data with my computer card reader to retain all my scenes etc. or do I have to start again? I have a back up but a usual its probably a few months old and I'd have to re program a few things. Just asking. Drew

This stuff is beyond awesome. I cannot wait to get the hang of this. I'm going to drive the wife crazy. (That is why we buy this stuff, is it not?) Thank you again. If I have any problems understanding the nomenclature I'll post back. Drew

Im sorry if I was unclear. I know nothing of the integer and variable of which you speak. The numbered list in my last post is what I'm trying to accomplish. Where can I learn about integers? Your paragraph that starts off "A bit about variables in the ISY" leaves my head spinning.

Okay, so my head is spinning with the integer thing. (I just saw the tab now for the first time if that lets you in on my apparent ignorance with this) I'm wondering what to do as far as this goes. You are 100% correct in that 1. When I press RL-B off Scene A and Scene B shut off 2. When I press RL-B on, it triggers Scene A 3. When I press RL-B again, it knows Scene A is on and triggers Scene B 4. This would toggle back and forth Do impart knowledge. If this integer thing-a-ma-bob is what I think it is, it's going to be the new cat's *** around these parts. Drew (note: No cat's will be harmed in these proceedings)

Thank you Xathros. RL-B is in Toggle mode so is what I have. Works fine Also, is correct as well. I'm unclear on what " " and means. But I think this is exactly what I'm looking for. Drew

Could it then start with; If SCENE A OR B are OFF then Button B turns SCENE A ON

Hi Guys; I'm hoping to be able to have one button on my remotelinc trigger two scenes. I want it to go something like this. (for the sake of argument, i'll use the B button, and the B button triggers the SCENES A and If SCENE A is true, and button B is SWITCHED ON then SCENE B I would like to be able to toggle between them. so if SCENE B is true, and button B on SWITCHED ON then SCENE A and so forth. Is this possible? Drew

That seems to have fixed it. Thank you everyone. Drew

So I started all this to try to replace one SWL with another. Now that I'm back up and running I've discovered the new SWL, Replaced the SWl with the other as far as the ISY GUI is concerned, but I cant get it to react to the scenes. I can control it with the GUI It also has a little green icon beside it in the GUI. Drew

looks like I'm back in business. As an aside, I unplugged the power to the ISY and it still had power until I unplugged it from the PLM. The PLM powers the ISY? Drew

I'm using Snow Leopard and I don't have any airport stuff. Just a D-link router Drew

!@#$%^&*() I just went into the furnace room where all the gear is (I should have gone there first clearly, sorry for wasting everyone's time, and yes, the next time the car fails I'll check for gas first !@#$%^&*() Anyhow, the two network cables were unplugged (I'll get to the bottom of that with the daughter tonight) How do I hook it back up? Port A on the ISY 99i goes to the PLM and the Network goes to my router? That's how I plugged it in and I only see the power light. Still nothing on the ISY Finder. I switched the network cable joining the ISY to the router and still nothing Drew

My Airport utility is still 5.6.1 But it just seems to look for wireless devices.

Let me know where to go from here. Also, don't be sorry for what Apple does. A true Apple user likes their product, not their practices. (I should print that on a t-shirt) All this started off by me wanting to switch out one SWL for another. Drew

Got it but the ISY Finder can't find my ISY. It asks for the URL. Drew

Hi Michel; It's 10.6.8 I find that when I type 192.168.0.104 I can access the ISY but when the GUI pops up it endlessly keeps "initializing System" That's as far as I've gotten. Drew

...hello...?

I know it sounds crazy but it's true. When I click my "99" icon it opens my software update on my Mac. Hoe do I fix that? Drew When I go into the info.plist in the package contents it says this.

Hi Guys; I unplugged the ISY to move it to a different room and now I can't seem to stop it from flashing. The two top lights flash Memory error. I can't seem to find it in the posts here. Every different wording I use to search the forum ends up with a "No Search Criteria" or something of the sort. I apologize for the presumably simple problem. Drew

Hi Guys; Just got my new ISY 99i (thank you again Michel and Rand for the over and above service, I promised I wouldn't get misty, ) I noticed it doesn't have a power supply. I believe my PLM is the 2413S but will have to check when I get home. Can I use my power supply from the ISY 26? (Just checking so I don't fry anything.) If not, what amps, voltage, centre negative or positive, should I get? Also, since I've had the ISY 26, I've only been able to update to 2.7 (ish) Does this ISY ship with the latest version or should I update when I get it? Do I set it all up and then update, or update the version first then set it up with my system? Drew

Hi oberkc; I probably wasn't clear. When I have the "MAIN" or "A" button in the scene, as I do, and I try to ADD the "D" button from the same KPL to the scene to shut off the LED of the "D" button, it THEN tells me that it is already part of the scene.

I can't add the button to the scene as its the D button of a KPL that is in the all off scene. If I try to add it into the scene it tells me its already part of the scene. I turn the scene off from another KPL that triggers the scene. When I say the load is off, the light that is wired to the KPL is off. It is not a controller but a responder to the scene. There's only one controller to the scene. (that's on a different KPL)
