It seems to be some UI problem. Just select the valid one, edit the current one and save it. The blank one doesn't seem to have any effect on function.

My ISY994 and RPi combo work just fine. I abandoned it for polisy for a few months but resurrected it again until some things settle down. The install was completely new and took some port redefining but works well for again the last few months.

Ditto here. I have experimented with a few Zwave devices but decided to stall that until I move in June but ZigBee still sounds like a better option from the forum rumour mills. The fact that a board or group of people set standards for it sounds much better than a single company controlling Zwave's future, and the problems I hear from Zwave users shows "it' ain't no Insteon protocol"

If the pulldown menus do not offer decimal degrees, then the device doesn't support them, or the code writer didn't write the options into the code. Likely the latter problem due to most here being American and only familiar with foreignheat. Talking to the code writer may get you special code added to support your cause. Users here are typically quite helpful and very supportive Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Any thermostat setting parameters I have seen so far have been set with pulldown menu selections. If the code writer did not supply half degrees then you need to talk to the NS author to include C support for his/her NS setup tables. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Do you have any programmed Insteon scenes that control the devices randomly changing?

The only way you can integrate anything into an Insteon Scene is with an Insteon device. However, I think you are referring to a 'scene" in the generic sense and not Insteon Scenes", and I don't think I am following your logic of what you want to do, avoid Alexa groupings partially, all together, or use Alexa totally.

If you are just looking for a White bulb, there are many smart bulbs, sold in Walmart, and amazon that can be controlled with Alexa or GH voice control skills.. If you are looking for RGBW bulbs and want to control colours then you will need to get more complicated with software, NSs or Network Resources.

Strange. I have never heard of "Resume Dim" in Insteon devices. I have also never seen it mentioned in the Insteon device manuals or remote control gadgets. At least your factory reset fixed it for now. It appears your ISY programming was setting your On level somehow that you had forgotten. I tried to paddle set the On level on one of my switchlincs and I cannot make it happen, as I thought it did formerly. Maybe Insteon did change their design. Most of my SwitchLincs have been removed for moving out later, so I cannot test the rest of the versions.

It seems to operating exactly the way Insteon devices are designed. SwitchLincs remember the last On level programmed into them. You likely just needed to write the desired on level into the device. This can be done in programs, manually from the admin console or manually at the switch paddle. Mine get changed twice per day via ISY programs.

Appears as a hang-over from a testing phase that is not required anymore. I second that. New users wondering WTF are others talking about...changing icons?

ISY likely doesn't know the preset on level from the switch. Try setting it manually from ISY admin console and then test again. I set many of my lights each evening so when the pee run happens at 3:00 AM I don't get blinded. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Sounds like a ticket request from super @Michel Kohanim before the data becomes lost. or perhaps @bmercier would be able to help. He's the creator of this bridge over troubled waters.

There is a new transfer setup function on a pulldown menu at one of the bottommost menus in ISY Portal. It is best to set the IP of IoP in your router's DHCP reservation table.

I have used many different brands over the years... ecobee, hands down! You will need a Node Server and that takes polyglot 2 or 3, with a RPi or polisy box.

Here is a sample NR that talks to my RPi NRbridge software and controls my WiFi bulbs. These are the variable values I send This is the NR I use to send the variable values. Note the format included in the strings. A word of warning that variables are encrypted at send time and not at invocation time. @Michel KohanimIOW: If you change the value of a variable immediately after use in your program, the new value will get sent. This is a factor in making ISY and IoP very slow for lighting control. Every program line requires a Wait 1-3 seconds delay for repeated usage of the NR.

Loaded easily with the sudo.... method. Works well, especially the system time variables. Thank you! @Chris JahnTwo outstanding items to fix on IoP yet: Modulus function (%=) needs to support decimals. Always gave decimal shifted results = Integers from decimal values. WoL on IoP is still broken. Hasn't ever functioned in polisy. Thanks!

It is not removable. Not sure why but it is the basis of some commercial systems apparently, related to TOU (time of use) metering and energy conservation.

The original name of the scene wasn't "Auto DR" was it?

So how many times did you turn his TV on at 2:00 AM? How did his wife like the porn?

I watched at nights to see who had some light flashing on and off for a few weeks but finally gave up on co-operation. After a a few days or weeks? I stopped and used that same house code again and never had a problem with it again. ...but I was nervous about using other X10 House codes then. I figured somebody switched away from my house code. IIRC I was getting an All House On commend though, likely some unlabelled X10 remote control. It worked anyway..

Years ago I wrote a program to turn all on and all all off every 15 minutes , every day, and my neighbour problem went away. They must have changed house codes.

Older may make it worse as components age. I have an old AC motor model and a DC motor unit with battery backup. The newer one kills my Insteon almost 100%. Turning the power off may not be a good test. They can still suck signals while plugged in.
