conditional folder question
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.

Redefining a KPL button
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

Selling a home with a 994i in it...
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?

Programming Help
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.

Programming Help
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
