Hi Michel So I think you're saying that the answer to both questions is "no." Since I suspected that was the case with the ISY I had attempted to solve it by dancing around in front of the motion sensor when I'm attempting to program it. If my timing was right or if I enlisted the aid of someone else to try and keep it active when I want to program it is there a chance that might work?

I have a couple of motion sensors (2842-222). I've noticed some discussion in the forum that suggests that the ability to program these over the network exists with my ISY-994i but elsewhere I thought I saw something that indicated otherwise. I don't see any settings for them in the ISY Admin Console. I used to program them over the network when I was using HouseLinc. Can I with ISY? Also if I change anything in my ISY regarding them I appear to have to get the ladder, climb up and take them down, open them up and push the set button. Then put them back up and try to re-align everything. Is there any other way?

Thanks so much for both replies. Clarifies a lot.

I thought that's what I needed (Set scene) but didn't see it. Works great. Thanks!

I control a light from two separate KPLs. I created a Scene to do this and when I turn the light on/off from either KPL the other KPL properly shows the light's current status. I also have a program that turns this light off under certain conditions but I haven't been able to figure out how to make the KPL keys properly reflect that the light has turned off. I can set the backlight level but can't set the key state. How do I set the key state off on both KPLs when I turn the light off in a program?

New to ISY transitioning from Houselinc. Had most everything working fine in HouseLinc but struggling with ISY. I just added my Open/Close sensor (2843-222/2421) on my garage door to ISY. It shows up as two devices -Opened and -Closed each with an arrow in front of it pointing to the right. Regardless of the state of the garage door the current state of both of these is "on." For testing I added the following program which didn't seem to do anything. Then I figured out to change the "Status ... is On" to "Control ... is switched on." This worked - when the door opened the light flashed and stayed on but when it closed the light stayed on. So I added a second program to turn off the light which worked fine. I realized that the "Status" approach wouldn't make sense because the Status condition would remain set as long as the door is open and I wanted to flash the light upon the "event" of the door opening. But that made me wonder when the Status condition would make sense. So several questions: 1) Is two programs the proper way to do this (flash a light when door opens and turn light off when it closes) or is there some clearer more logical way? 2) what is an example of when you would use the "Status" condition? 3) How are programs processed in the ISY? Is the program list polled as fast as possible? Some polled(status conditions) some driven by events(Control .. switched on)? If Status 'Garage Door-Opened' is On Then Set 'Test Light' On Wait 1 second Set 'Test Light' Off Wait 1 second Set 'Test Light' On Wait 1 second Set 'Test Light' Off Wait 1 second Set 'Test Light' On Else Set 'Test Light' Off
