What are you hoping to accomplish with computer control that you cannot do via the isy's own programming and ability to interact with the insteon network itself? I have a Pronto RFX9600 remote which has a serial outputs. I use the remote to control my home theater (tv, receiver,dvd, etc), so what i would like is to have two scene buttons on the remote, one to dim the lights, the other to brighten during intermission. I can do this directly using the hex code for each unit, but would rather use a scene which controls all at once and is working on the keypadlinc.

Okay, Im puzzled about how the ISY is able to turn off the keypadlinc buttons via a scene via the 2413S but I am unable to do the same via a hex command. How does the ISY accomplish this feat? If i use the web based interface and turn on the scene for the A button the scene correctly turns off the B button. There must be commands for the 2413S to do this, yes/no?

I currently have a scene which dims lights. I have a ISY program which when the A button is pushed executes the scene. What i would like to be able to do is execute the ISY program via the computer by sending the correct hex codes. Any thoughts on how to accomplish?

Im using a computer interface to control lights and scenes with a PowerLinc 2413S. I can get it to work when i address a unit directly eg office lights, 02 62 1A 82 5E 05 11 FF. I cant for the life of me figure out how to address a 6 button KeyLinc pad for 1, A, B, C, D etc. Any thoughts? Trying to get ISY to recognize a hex string which when sent from the computer will execute a program which controls a scene.

Works perfect! Thanks so much, man there is a lot to learn with this system.

Sounds like what i would like to do... can you give me a quick example of what you are describing? Now I have program turn on the exterior scene at sunset. The keypad B is part of the exterior entry scene as both a controller and responder. What do i need to add to the exterior scene to get the B button led to turn off after 15 secs or better yet turn off at 9PM at night. Eg if time is between 9 PM and sunrise turn led light off.

Thank you again Lee... Just a follow up question, in the bedroom I have the B scene button for the exterior entry lights. Of course at night i want these lights on. Is there a way to completely turn off the scene button when the exterior light is on? Button level is set to 0 on the controller but is still way to bright in a otherwise dark bedroom.

Thank you... So it would seem for all controllers that 'control' interior lights they should all be added to the 'interior' scene, correct?

I have a 6 switch controller in the garage and a program activated when the Off button is pressed. The program sets the scene 'interior' off, the interior scene contains all the outlets and switches in the house. Question is the controller that is in the office controls lights in the office and does not update the status correctly on the scene b button. Eg when i press the off button on the controller in the garage, all the lights turn off but the controller in the office still is lit indicating that the light is on when in fact it is actually off. How does one correct this such that the controller is showing the correct status? Add the controller to the interior scene?

Is there a way to turn off the led's on a 6 button KeyPadLinc completely? Lights in the bedroom bother the wife so hope there is a solution . 0 setting keeps then on dim but still on.

Just received my first 6 keypadlinc and am having issues programming. I created a new scene with the on / off buttons included. I then tried to add an X10 switch to the scene and received an error message that the request failed. Im hoping I havent learned two lessons here the hard way. First can you add an X10 device to be controlled by a KeyPadLinc controller? Second can you have discrete scenes for the On and Off buttons? Or am I just dumb as a stump for not being able to figure this out?

I have a scene called Foyer which contains 3 2477D Switchlinc dimmers. One is connected to the load in the foyer, the other is a controller in the upstairs hallway, the third is a controller in the kitchen. All three currently work fine manually in so much as if I operate one switch the others follow suit with the correct led indication. How do I set up a program such that at sunset the lights are on 100%, then at 10PM at 40%, and finally off at sunrise? Dumb question, but this one has me stumped. Thanks in advance for you patience.
