Yeah the several second part is the issue. I'll give it a shot and see how the client feels about it. Thanks for the reply.

Does anybody have any thoughts on a good way to do a 2-button switch maybe using a 2477D or and i3 paddle? Like where the Up is a toggle for 1 scene and the Down is a toggle for another. This would be mostly in situations where there is a wired load. I think that eventually what would make sense is the i3 4-button to have a button face that just has 2 physical buttons that just trigger the top and bottom buttuns underneath the faceplate. Wouldn't even need to change any sort of programming inside the device like with 6 to 8 button conversion. If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear.

I have been doing this and it works to a point. I can't include that button in scenes where it is a controller/responder and control ramp rate of the scene. Since IoX doesn't have a way to handle the "wired load" assignment it has no way of knowing that the button should have ramp rate options. I know they are working on a totally new interface so I'm hoping that is not too far away so that I can adjust some of these i3 options.

I recently encountered an almost identical issue. Unfortunately for me my most recent backup was just prior to a bunch of changes. But what ended up happening for me is that something like 70% of devices/scenes restored correctly. I found that some controllers in a scene were not actually controlling the responder. Doing an individual device restore on the responder seemed to fix most issues. Occasionally I would also restore the controller that was misbehaving. That has fixed most of my issues. I would guess this might have something to do with wait periods or just the sheer amount of signals happening on the network that some signals don't actually get acknowledged fully/correctly.

I feel like I've done this before but I can't seem to find a project that has this particular setup. And maybe I'm just hallucinating and I haven't done it. I want to have a KPL that has a few loads that it controls and then has a "room off" button. The LED of that button would illuminate when ANY of the lights are on, but it would only go off if that button is switched off. e.g. I have a 6-button where the layout is: On/Off - bedroom cans A - Pendant Left B - Pendant Right C - Rope Light D - Room Off So then the scenes that I'm thinking of are as follow: Bedroom Cans -- Controller/Responder - On/Off Responder - D button Pendant Left Responder - Micro Dimmer (Pendant Left) Controller/responder - A button Responder - D button Pendant Right Responder - Micro Dimmer (Pendant Right) Controller/responder - A button Responder - D button Rope Light Responder - outlet linc (Rope Light) Controller/responder - C button Responder - D button Room Off Responder - Pendant Left Responder - Pendant Right Responder - On/Off Cans Responder - Rope Light Responder - A, B, C, on/off buttons Controller/responder - D button So this makes it so that if I turn on any of those lights then the D button comes on. But it also makes the D button go off if I turn off any of those lights. As is expected. But I feel like I had a scenario where I was able to illuminate the D button when any of those were on but not switch it off when they go off. I think that I could do this with a program but I thought that I had done it with just scenes in the past. But I tried to set the D button to non-toggle and see if there was something I could do there but doesn't appear that that is my solution. Thought??

Gotcha. I was getting frustrated with the search using "i3 Keypad" not getting me to that thread apparently. Got a little lazy. I figured there had to be a way. I might try and find a used hub 2. Though I have about 20 i3 keypads already in and added to Eisy. I think that the UDI team is hard at work on a new UI so I am hopeful that maybe that will come in that update. I'm currently on 5.9.1 with this install so this functionality is not currently implemented. It's not a terrible burden for me right now but once the homeowners move in I might need to move things around. We shall see. Thanks for your reply.

I looked around UDI forums and the Insteon forums. Also just put a ticket in with support at both companies. I'm doing an install with dozens of devices and many are the i3 4-button keypad. I recall that these are setup in such a way that the button that controls the load is configurable. However I have found no documentation on how one goes about changing that. I had some devices ship to me where the default (top) button was set to control the load and others where a different button was set to control the load. I don't see that in Eisy/admin console I can configure this. The i3 flags don't seem to have anything to do with which buttons controls the load that I can tell. I'm guessing this might not be something that can be configured through the Eisy at this time. So in lieu of that I'd love to know how to manually switch that. For the keypads where the load is on the non-default button, the admin console does not seem to be aware of that and thus the standard parameters are not available for that button, i.e. level control, on level, ramp rate, etc. Is this just something that is not currently supported in Eisy? i3 device documentation at both UDI and Insteon is fine up to this point that I could tell. If there is greater documentation that I haven't found I would love to be pointed to it. ANSWER/SOLUTION: UDI has not yet added this feature to IOX but may be forthcoming. There is no manual way to do it with button presses. The only way to (currently) do this is with a Hub and the Director app.

After some fighting with this install due to some OpenWebStart proxy errors I went back to my original jre 8 installers and they magically worked this time around. I uninstalled OpenWebStart and installed the regular jre and now working well. I dropped the start.jnlp file in my applications folder, changed the default Java Icon to the UD logo, and then changed the name so it looks like a regular application.

I just updated my laptop that I'll be using for installs and I had a hell of a time figuring out getting the Java JRE installed and running so that the JNLP could launch. What I ran in to: The current JRE installer would not install on MacOS 13.6.1; Installer returned error: "OS error code 1". Installation of the current JDK was successful. However new versions of Java don't support the web start protocol so the JNLP would not launch. It took me a while to actually read the error message when launching the JNLP to realize that it didn't find a JRE that supported javaws. After all of that I came across OpenWebStart that promised to be my solution. After install I tried to launch again but still got the error. After digging through the documentation I found that I need to associate the .jnlp extension with the new app located in the Applications folder. After I did this OpenWebStart was able to download and install the correct JRE and launch IoX finder. Hope this helps others.

I have a connection but Somfy is firmly against doing an open API. They want a partner to work with that they can kinda evaluate and have some control over what they have to support. Is UDI interested in developing the node server for their new TaHoma bridge? I can try and make an introduction. Unless you've already tried and they just think we're too small of a market to support.

I would also love the .stl or fusion file if you are using fusion. I feel like other than the resolution/cosmetics the biggest challenge might be the clips that lock the keys in place.

I would say that the micro open/close module would be perfect for this. I've used that with motorized projector screens in the past and has worked great. This assumes that the motor is just a 110v motor which is sounds like it is. Seems like the switch is just DPDT momentary switch similar to how a winch on a car/ATV works. I think that the open/close modules aren't back in stock just yet but they are expected soon.

Nevermind. It was a subnet issue internally. The wifi and the wired network were 2 different subnets. And I think the RX light was on because the cable had come out of the PLM. I feel like a dope.

So I have this ISY 994 that my client purchased. It did not show up on the network when first plugged in. I assumed it was configured with a static IP. So I went to factory reset using the button on the front. After reboot it still did not show up on the network. I tried a 2nd factory reset thinking maybe I didn't hold it down long enough. Now it just has the RX light constantly on after it boots up. Did it get bricked somehow?

I think that I know the answer here but just want to make sure. Is there a way to take say a .csv file of addresses and add them all to the isy at once? I'm pretty sure they're is not but just wanted to check. Trying to move a client over to isy from Indigo so that I can better help them manage programming changes. The husband originally was into Indigo but has since lost all time to be able to stay familiar enough to deal with any changes that they want to do. So just trying to see if I can make my job any easier. But again, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to do it the long, (correct) way.
