Dimmable LEDs and ramp rate
Bought the LEDS at Home depot (Philips) because I read somewhere others were having success with them, guess I'll have to try a different brand. Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk

Dimmable LEDs and ramp rate
The potlights are controlled by one dimmer so I would have to create two scenes for the one dimmer, would the dimmer be a responder or controller since there is no other device in the scene Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk

Dimmable LEDs and ramp rate
Just installed new dimmable MR16 LED bulbs in some potlights, when they ramp up the LEDS flicker at start but when they ramp down they dim perfectly to about 14%, if I set the ramp rate to 0.1 they work perfect.Is there a way to have an ON ramp set different then the OFF ramp?

On/Off button in HMI...without a device?
Haven't tried this but could you not create a device with an x10 address that does not exist then use that to trigger your variable Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk

ISY and door lock suggestions?
I have contacted my supplier ( Aartech, Canada) about the Z-wave add on module and was told it is not available yet but it is coming soon! Is it still in beta testing? or just not available in Canada anyone know? Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk

ISY and door lock suggestions?
I don't have the Z-wave module but I was just reading about it and it doesn't look to difficult to add. Is there any additional programming that has to be done to get all that status and control or does the module take care of it?

ISY and door lock suggestions?
Thanks for the info. Does this lock set talk directly to the ISY or is other hardware required?

ISY and door lock suggestions?
I'm thinking about changing my front door lock set with a lock that will work with my ISY. Anyone have suggestions on which locks work the best with ISY, most dependable? I know all locks have a weakness but I'm hoping to purchase with the knowledge of others experience on the forum.Thanks

Blinking KPL button
Thanks for the advice. I tried running it for a couple days and I did notice it caused some issues. Once I disabled the program everything was back to normal. I guess the text message is the way to go, but a blinking button is a great idea hopefully we might see it in the future. Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk

Blinking KPL button
Looking for some advice, I have the following program to blink a KPL button ON/OFF to let me know that my garage door has been left open. It works exactly as I want it too but I am concerned because the Admin console is flashing busy/ready. Is this a bad idea because it is causing to much traffic? If Status 'Garage Sensor' is On And Status 'Garage Sensor' is not Off Then Wait 30 minutes Set Scene 'Garage Door' On Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Garage Door' Off Run Program 'Garage Door KPL Blink' (Then Path) Else Set Scene 'Garage Door' Off

3-way switch replacement
I would like to replace two 3-way switches with Insteon switches but would like one to be a 2477S switch and the other to be a 2487S KPL switch. Does anyone know if putting two different devices for a 3-way will cause issues? Thxs

Need help with simple program
Just curious for future reference why use status? Will this also change the variable if a program turns "on" and "off" one of the lights?

Need help with simple program
I have four 2477D switches controlling lights in my kitchen, I would like it if any one switch is "on" set a variable to 1 or if all the switches are "off" set the variable to 0. Can this be done with one program?Please excuse the wording just trying to figure out how to make it work and this is my first program using a variable. IF kitchen island control is on or kitchen valence control is on or kitchen pots control is on or kitchen dining control is on THEN s.lights_ON = 1 ELSE s.lights_ON = 0

Unwanted link between two switches
I did verify that they are not in a scene or program, but when I switch "on" or "off" the dining room (2477D) it controls the kitchen valance (2477S)? I did not create this link via ISY so how do you remove it?

Unwanted link between two switches
I noticed the LED blinking kind of funny on the 2477S and the switch was frozen so I tried the air gap trick and I think that might have fixed it.

Unwanted link between two switches
Can some one please tell me how to remove a link between a 2477D and a 2477S? Some how the link was created accidentally and it is causing me problems. I have tried a restore to both devices but that did not work.Thanks

How to have lights switch off at different times
Hello (newbie) I have set up a simple program to switch "on" my outside lights at sunset and "off" at 11:30PM, is there away to have the lights switch "off" at different times to create the illusion of some one being home? I would also like to switch the bedroom light "on" at a random time after sunset for 30minutes then "off"? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
