I'm not entirely clear on your response. I'm not sure what a "link record" is. The scene works fine. I just want to have the LEDs of the KPLs in the scenes shut off when I press the "ALL OFF" scene. i.e. The hall light goes off (it's the load on the KPL or the MAIN or A button) but the D button LED stays on. I'd like that to shut off too. I'm not sure what you're talking about when you say "node". And I don't believe I need to restore the KPL. And it's not a powerline quality issue. I could make a button grouping but then I can't have two scenes on the same KPL running at the same time. Drew

I know it's been covered but I can't find a posting anywhere. I have an ALL OFF scene but not all the KPL LEDs shut off even though the load is off. When I try to add the KPL D button as a responder (just an example) it says it's already a member of the scene. If someone could point me to the posting or answer this post, that would be great. Thanks, Drew

I think that has it. I just tried an existing program and it triggered. I'll try to write a few tonight sometime. Thanks for the info. Drew

I've rebooted the ISY and reset the PLM. The console boots up fine (It showed two of my addresses and wouldn't boot, I deleted one and it did fine) I was able to downgrade to 2.7.15 from 2.7.6 and the update seems good. But none of the programs will run. I tried making a new one and it wouldn't run either. Next step? Drew

No red lights are on on the ISY. (there is the yellow light so I know there's power to it) I'll try to reboot the PLM tonight when I get home from work. Are the directrions to reboot the PLM on the site? or the WIKI? (forgive me, it's been years since I've had any issue with my set up and I forget how to do most of this stuff) Drew

The ISY Finder had it in there. (192.168 etc...) I added it again and the "U" number for lack of a better term was the same as well. I still seem to not have any programs or timers. Drew

Shortly after I tried this it didn't work. I contacted Paul and he said there was a bug in it. Has anyone figured out how to make it run? Drew

I'm going to try and install the 2.7.15 version. I realize my ISY 26 is no longer supported and I'll have to upgrade to the ISY 99 but my new KPLs and SWLs still work fine. Is there something I'm missing out on? Drew EDIT I tried updating and it won't work (I have a MAC and i followed the MAC instructions.) I entered https://192.168.1.100/admin (my isy address number) and it opened a little JAVA window, i typed in admin admin and then it tells me the program wont run) "Could not open file" [/code/insteon.img] and then Refused program update (ouch, that hurt on a personal level I still have the 2.7.15.zip on my desktop. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I live in Southern Ontario so the time zone difference between myself and phone support is 3 hours. That would put me at work when they're open. Drew

So I haven't done any programming or anything for probably over a year (the ISY runs smooth so I don't have to) but I just bought some more smarthome KPL swl etc... and wanted to incorporate them into scenes. But now I can't seem to get my programs back up. I tried to reboot but must be forgetting something. I see no programs on the GUI and none work. I unplugged the ISY for 30 seconds and plugged it back in. What is my old brain forgetting? It's an ISY 26 and when I try to update the version it won't for some reason. Drew

Thanks for the speedy reply. I know about the press and hold but what I was hoping for was the ability to do this scenario. I press B on the remotelinc to set the movie scene. I press it again to make it brighten to a set amount (or even just trigger another scene with everything exactly the same except a bit brighter) because I pressed pause on the movie. Then I press it again to dim it back to the movie scene. Is this possible? Drew

Hi Guys; I had a pdf from a user that said it could make a button multi-use. (i.e. when i push the B button, the scene is triggered, when I push the same B button it brightens, pressing it a third time brightens again.) It never did work. Is there a way that this is possible? Drew

Its an odd beep then. It sounds more like an electrical short than a beep. I can only assume that's the beep they are mentioning. Thanks for the reply Drew

Hi Guys; I've just bought new switchlincs and a new KPL. I hooked them up properly and when I throw the breaker back on I hear a very short buzzing sound for just a second and then it's gone. I also hear this after I let go of the set button when I press it to link them. I wondering if anyone else has heard this. Talk to you soon, Drew

I'm blown away at this. I'd love to get this working but alas I am but a mere mortal as far as the programming aspect of this goes. If I understand this I can affect a scene four different ways from one kpl button? Such as dim, brighter, brighter still, brighter still, full on? I'm not sure how to even start this. i printed off the PDF and am looking at it now. If I have this right i: Create four scenes (these scenes are programs 00 01 10 11?) a little lost already (are these scenes or programs?) If anyone has the patience to drag my overtaxed brain through this I would forever be in his or her debt. Drew

I know I'm the last one to help but would setting the KPL button as a non-toggle off to trigger the 47 devices work? I have that exact setting (thanks to a few members here) that shuts off all the lights. The non-toggle off always sends an off signal so there's no chance of turning any on. Drew

Okay so here's the public flogging of Drew. I've already PM'ed fitzpatri8 so this really for the benefit of others that might have the same problem and can't find a solution. None of my programs were working after a power outage. I removed and redid all of my devices as they had lost their memory regardless of what the PLM and ISY were telling them. In my re programming, I accidently typed a line from one of my programs in the wrong spot. I actually typed it ONTO the PROGRAMS FOLDER itself, making it a condition of any program in that folder. Thus nothing would run because the condition would never be met. Ouch. That just hurts the pride and ego to type that. hahaha Drew

I think I might be dealing with something more here. I have a very simple program that wont run on a SWL. I need to get to the bottom of what's really wrong here. Drew

I tried that but now the lights stay on and no scene gets triggered. Drew

Still no luck. I did however find the original forum where I learned how to do it in the first place. http://forum.universal-devices.com/view ... ight=#9456 But when I try to do it again it doesnt work at all now. (???) I have the G (non toggle off) as the controller in an ALL OFF scene. It shuts everything off fine (except one problem which I'll talk about later) That half is great. But then I have this If Control 'Entryway KPL G' is switched Off Then Set Scene 'Nighttime' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') This doesnt trigger at all. I dont understand why it doesnt work now. I followed Darrell's direction again but no dice. Here's the problem with the ALL OFF scene. It shuts everything off except the load on the same KPL. It turns off the A button KPL but not the actual light that the A button turns on and off. That goes right over my head. To be fair, most things do but that one really does.haha I'd love to get this working again. It was my best program sadly. Drew

So every insteon device is in a scene, all but four would be set to 0%. The four are set to 20%, and then have a program that says at sunrise - 20 minutes, if the nighttime scene is true, shut it off. (I'm not sure how to word that one but I'll get to that after I get this done). I also want the LED of the G button to be off when the nighttime scene is on. Is that a Non toggle on? I would also like the scene to to shut off the LEDS of other KPLs as well as the lights themselves. Do I just put the KPL B KPL C etc... buttons in the scene as responders? Thanks for your patience in this topic. I'm not very good at this stuff sometimes. Drew

The G button is only the controller for the "ALL OFF" scene. I don't have a controller for the Nighttime scene. I was hoping to have the Nighttime Scene triggered from a program triggered from the switching off of the G Button. Is that not possible? Drew

I have the KPL G a non toggle off and its the controller of the all off scene. That much works great. But it won't trigger my nighttime scene. I'm not sure why. Here's what I have. Drew If Control 'Entryway KPL G' is switched Off Then Wait 3 seconds Set Scene 'Nighttime' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

So the non toggle off would shut everything off everytime its pressed? And now I'm second guessing why I had a second scene. I put the second scene in because I had another program that basically said, If its sunrise -20 minutes, and scene Night scene is true, then shut off Night scene. I put in the wait 5 seconds because I had a 6.5 second ramp down. So I can have the G button non toggle off shut off all the lights and leave a few at 20% or so? Drew

So if I have this right, Make a scene with all the lights in it set to 0% That scene is controlled by the KPL G (nontoggle off so it always shuts off all the lights, no matter what, correct?) and the KPL G triggers the second scene which is the night scene. Just want to be straight about it. And to totally understand what I'm doing so I don't have to keep asking simple questions. Trying to get a bit of an education, that's all. Thanks. I'll try it tonight and let you know how it goes. Drew

Hey Guys. I need a little help here. I've just redone my system and don't have a backup of a favourite program of mine. Here's what it did. I would push a KPL G button (in a toggle off mode to keep the LED off) and it would shut off all the lights, wait five seconds, then turn on the night scene. I've tried to reporduce it but for some reason it won't trigger again. I know I have some small thing wrong that makes it just sit there and do nothing but I can't figure it out. I'm at work right now so I can't post what I have, sorry. Let me know if anyone knows how to do this, again. Drew
