Thanks Steve for the suggestion, I'll give that a try. Your posts are always very helpful.

I finally created new scenes where the RL is the only controller as I tried everything else to no avail. I also bought rechargeable batteries. It's only been a few days since I created the new scenes so I won't count a success until the batteries last more than a month. I haven't had any problems with leaking batteries nor have I read anything about others having that issue.

I had an original silver RL that lasted months on a set of batteries. After the i1/i2 linking problems during the December ISY betas it started chewing through batteries every couple of days. I got it replaced at the end of Jan. and the batteries are dead again after extremely little use. Most of my RL scenes have multiple controllers and have from the beginning. I wonder if this is a problem with the newer RLs. I have another RL that's over a year old that gets much more use and I only recently replaced the batteries in that for the first time. The only other thing I can think of is I recently (a week or so ago) moved an AP that was in the same room as the battery-hungry RL to the other side of the basement. I'll put the AP back to where it was when I replace the batteries and see if that makes a difference. Rob

Thanks for another good tutorial. I've upgraded my thermostats to Venstar units in anticipation of picking up the insteon adapters when I purchase an ISY. This will certainly help me get up to speed once I get my new toys!
