LeeG, Thanks! That did the trick! I appreciate your help. --David

UI says Insteon_UD994 v.4.2.5 ( 2014-06-27:14:45:07) Is that the information you needed? --David

Hi, I upgraded to 4.2.5 and now I am noticing some of my programs aren't showing up in the Programs -> Details tab within the folder structure. When I go to the Programs -> Summary tab they are there but there is nothing in the path field. The programs are still working it just looks like they are misplaced. Any thoughts on how to correct this? If more information is needed let me know! Thanks! --David

I found the instructions in the wiki for transferring programs, settings, devices, etc from the old ISY to the new one (link below). --David http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-994i_Series:Migrating_To_Your_ISY-994i

Hi, I installed a 6 button keypad yesterday and could not get the ISY 99i to recognize the buttons instead it lists it as a single button (I have 2 other keypads that are older that it dose recognize just fine). After browsing the forums I saw that I had to upgrade to the 994i so I went ahead and ordered it. I have some quick questions: 1) Is my understanding correct that this will fix the problem and I shouldn't have it again as the 994 will be updated to reflect future changes in insteon devices? 2) Is there a set of instructions for backing up and transferring everything (programs, devices, settings, etc....) from the old ISY to the new ISY? 3) How do I transfer my modules? I have both the ELK and Portal (for Mobilinc) modules. 4) I just ordered the upgrade for the 99i as that was what I had, can I add the IR option at a later date? It looked like that wouldn't be a problem but I would like to be sure. Thanks! --David

Apostolakisl, thank you again for the response. Yes, the light is connected directly to the switch. More what I was saying was about conditions. For example, a friend comes over and I turn the light on (100%). I can put in my motion sensor and timing routines a conditions saying the light is not on. Then if I want to enable the timing and motion routines I could press up and have a condition saying if Light is On and light is switched on then run motion and timing programs Does that make sense? I think we are saying the same thing. I wasn't sure about trigger off the mechanical act versus the status of the light (in the above example the status is on, and the mechanical act sends a signal when I press the switch). Your help is greatly appreciated!

That sounds like a promising line of thought. I could then say if the light is at 99% and switched fade up then run another program to return it to automation mode (meaning back to the motion sensors and timing) and release control from the switch. I could probably do this with a variable that would be set based on switch control. Does that make sense? I will have to map this out. I do wish there was a case statement or something as that would eliminate the need for all the programs and I could do it in one shot rather than 5 programs to cover various scenarios. Thanks again! --David

Hi, I have an ISY99i as well as a couple of ToggleLinc Dimmers (2466) and 2420 Motion Sensors. My programs to dim the lights at particular times and bring them up when motion is sensed work well. I would like to get some flexibility to the system by putting in some control at the switch. By this I mean the following: At 9:00PM my lights dim to 50%. I would like it where if I press the switch up once it would increase 25%, right now if I press up it goes to 100% (or on) and if I press it down it goes to 0%. Can I set the light level as a variable and then increment or decrement 25%? I would do it this way because at 9:00 it may be at 50% but at 11:00 it may be at 35% so the starting level is variable depending on the time at which the switch is pressed. Part of the reason I got a dimmer was so I could control the lights. Is there a way to set up step sizes? I assume if I want it to go back into a program I can set a program to watch for lights off. Has anyone put this functionality into programming the switches? I checked some threads and couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance! --David
