  1. If I'm understanding you right, the load is managed at switch #1... just wanted to make sure I understood that right. The red "traveler" wire doesn't need to be used for an Insteon setup and you can just cap it off on both ends. Basically, at switch #1 you have power coming in and then the switched power going out to the load. That's fine, no problems there. For switch #2, you need to run the hot and neutral from switch #1 over to switch #2, using those black/white lines. It probably already does (looks like your diagram shows the black/neutral already tied between switches). As long as you have power over at switch #2 then your Insteon will work and can pair with the other. Be sure to verify everything... I've seen 3-way switches installed in some funny ways over the years to the point where it was hard to tell where the line/load was without bringing out the voltmeter.

    cameras and isy

    It looks like the URL would be along the lines of: http://camera-ip/decoder_control.cgi?co ... d=password The SDK at http://www.foscam.es/descarga/ipcam_cgi_sdk.pdf has the different command #'s for telling it to go to different presets. Preset #1 is 31, preset #2 is command 33, etc. (it goes up by 2 for each preset since there's a set and a get for each one). It should just be a regular http GET. Earlier posts in this thread mention using similar GET commands to trigger the motion alert, as a reference. I guess a program to execute that at a certain time of day... I'm honestly new enough at really tinkering with my ISY that I don't know how to get a program to do that. I have a simple program to turn my porch lights on/off depending on the sunset/sunrise times, and one to trigger a set of lights when a motion sensor is activated, but that's all I've done really. I was actually searching on here for something similar, although for my Foscam cameras, I use Blue Iris, so I need a way for the ISY to trigger that software package to start recording, like when one of my Insteon motion sensors triggers, or maybe have it trigger recording when a certain light switch goes from off to on. But since that's a software package, I guess I'll have to root around in their documentation for a way to trigger that from some command.
