Echo: ISY vs. Mobilinc Connect
I understand that I can only set up one or the other. I currently use Mobilinc Connect on my personal system, but now I'm setting up a new system for my nephew, so I need to make a decision. What are the plusses and minuses of ISY Portal vs. Moblinc Connect? The most important feature is voice control of lights, thermostat, and door locks, as my nephew does not have use of his hands.

Scene help needed
I set up an Insteon scene via ISY containing two switches. One of the switches is connected to a load, and was added to a scene as a responder. The other switch has no load connected, and was added to the scene as a controller. So both switches control the load - no problem there. When I control the load using the non-load switch, everything works as expected. However, if I control the load using the switch that's connected to the load, the other switch doesn't show the correct state of the load. The light goes on, but the controller switch doesn't *show* that the light is on. Is there a way to fix that?

Setting program status to "False"?
Got it. Thanks!

Setting program status to "False"?
I'm not confusing programs with scenes. I may not be articulating it well. I'm not using ISY scenes. Forget I ever said scenes. In a program, I'm sending an X-10 ON command to a device. That program status is "True". I never run the else clause in that program, so it always stays true. Is there a way to make that program false from another program?

Setting program status to "False"?
I have a bunch of X-10 scenes programmed into my devices. I have the ISY set up to recognize when those scenes are triggered by using If X-10 received conditions. Works great. Here's the rub: I only turn these scenes on. Never off. Subsequent scenes control the same devices. So, for example, turning the "Good Night" scene On effectively shuts the "Movie" scene to off. The problem is the ISY still thinks the Movie scene is on, and it still shows the program where I receive the Movie scene trigger as "True". Is there a way to programattically tell ISY that the Movie scene is no longer On? Is there a way to programmatically tell ISY that a program is no longer running?
