I have a 2450 garage door link V4.1 that has been operating with a ISY 994i for over a year. Over the summer (while we were away), there were several large storms and I came home to a fried PLM which I replaced. Most insteon is working now, but occasionally at night, the Garage door opens by itself. I've looked at the log and can't seem to find any program that would do this, nor do I see anything else that would cause this. My temporary fix is to unplug the 2450 at night so it can't issue the open command by itself. Does anyone know of a way to disable the open command with software? I don't really need to open the GD from anywhere else but the original GD switch. But I do like having the GD status indicator in several spots in the house so i can see if the GD is open or closed. I know I could rewire the circuit so that the open signal travels through the magnetic contact switch such that it will only reach the opener if the door is open (thereby never allowing the ISY or insteon to "open" the door, only allowing it "close" the door) but this requires rewiring and perhaps even another magnetic switch which I'd like to avoid. Any thoughts on this? Thanks

Thanks, but I am not sure your suggestion will drive the behavior I am looking for. I want the programs "then" clause to run to completion once triggered. I think the only way to do this is to create a "disabled" program with no conditions which executes the else clause and call this from the original program. If I understand it correctly, this second program will run to completion regardless of the state of the conditions that caused it to be called in the first place. Is this correct? Thanks

I have an "away from home" folder where I keep programs that will make the house look lived in. It's condition is a state variable called "away" which is set to 1 when away by the push of a KPL switch. I have a program in this folder that turns on a lamp and then waits about 2 hours and then turns it off. If I come home while the program is in the wait state and push the KPL button, turning the away variable back to a zero, the program seems to stop and never turns the light back on. Is this the way that ISY handles this situation? If so, is there an easy way to get these programs to complete? I have many programs like this and hope I don't have to create another whole set of programs that check if "away" just switched back to "home" and then do something special for each device.Thanks.

Thanks. That sequence works well.

What is the easiest way to change the definition of a KPL button? I have a 6 button KPL with all the buttons defined and all are used as controllers for devices as part of scenes, and may be referenced in programs. I want to redefine one of the buttons to control a different device than the one its controlling now. Should I first delete the button from the scenes its in? and then rename the button? or should I just rename the button first and then modify the scenes and programs the old button was used in? Or does it matter at all? Thanks, Bob

Has anyone sold a home that is currently controlled by a 994i and has numerous insteon switches in it? Just wondering if you left the system in place and tied to explain it to the new owner or if you removed it and took it with you?

Thanks for the help. Your suggestion worked partially. One of the switches worked correctly, the other didn't. So I had to change it as follows: Else In Scene 'switch1' Set 'switch1' 73% In Scene 'switch1' Set 'switch2' 73% In Scene 'switch2' Set 'switch2' 73% In Scene 'switch2' Set 'switch1' 73% I'd have never gotten there without your help though...thanks a lot.

I am trying to make my bathroom light work the same as this thread suggests but am having no luck. I have 2 switch link dual band v4.1 switches.One directly controls the load, the other is a slave and operates as a 3 way switch. I have a scene with both switches in it and they are both controllers. Here is the program I run: If From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) Then In Scene 'Master Bathroom / Mstr Bath vanity lights' Set 'Master Bathroom / Mstr Bath vanity load' 20% (On Level) In Scene 'Master Bathroom / Mstr Bath vanity lights' Set 'Master Bathroom / Mstr Bath vanity Switch 2' 20% (On Level) Else In Scene 'Master Bathroom / Mstr Bath vanity lights' Set 'Master Bathroom / Mstr Bath vanity load' 73% (On Level) In Scene 'Master Bathroom / Mstr Bath vanity lights' Set 'Master Bathroom / Mstr Bath vanity Switch 2' 73% (On Level) This program does run and does set the Scene values correctly but it doesn't seem to set the values of the individual switches local values correctly (note the screen shot showing 20%, even though the program ran this morning). And this screen shot shows the SCENE has been set to 73%. If I use the button at the bottom of the SCENE page to turn on the light, the light performs correctly and goes to 73%. But if I use either switch, the light only goes to 20%. And here is what the switches look like from within the scene: What am I overlooking? Thanks for any and all help. Bob
