Using a program to turn light on & off vs Scene?
Clean out and delete other scenes created for each KPL LED that you want to use for programs. Create a scene for each KPL LED that only controls that LED. Now control each scene with ISY programs because your can't directly control KPL LEDs with programs. See @dbwarner5's post above. He tells a different analogy that was good.

Using a program to turn light on & off vs Scene?
I am not sure I understood your requests completely but the removable lines are there to activate the KPL LED that you tapped. KPL LEDs, unfortunately can only be operated by scenes. It's s hame to have a scene with only one device in each but....The brightness level can be modified via ISY programs but all LEDs in the same KPL share the setting. I use a slight delay as Insteon signal flooding can be a problem in other places. With human operations a 1 second delay is not too bad. I also use another technique with a switchlinc dimmer to operate 6 different colours in my bathroom. If you tap the switch within 2-3 seconds of the last tap it rotates the colours. If you wait longer and tap it again it turns the lights off.

Try this 1st Floor Bath - Mirror - If Control '111st Flr Bath / 1st Floor Bath - Keypad - A' is switched On Then run (If) Program2 Else ------ Program2 (DISABLED) <-------------------------------------------------- If 1st Floor Bath Mirror status is Off Then Set '111st Flr Bath / 1st Floor Bath - Mirror' On Wait 1 second Set KPL LED scene to ON Wait 30 minutes Set '111st Flr Bath / 1st Floor Bath - Mirror' Off Wait 1 second Set KPL LED scene to OFF Else Set '111st Flr Bath / 1st Floor Bath - Mirror' Off - No Actions Wait 1 second Set KPL LED scene to OFF If you combine this in one program and the device you are controlling is a trigger in the same program's If section it will oscillate or undo your actions.

New Insteon Hardware - SBP-Wall - Smart Wall Switch
Yes. Larger buttons are easier to label and tap. To many buttons on a wall plate makes it more intimidating for non-HA people to us. All my keypad, battery and power, except one got junk boxed, once Alexa and Google Home came out. With dozens or hundreds of vocal buttons I can push, why limit myself to 6 or 8 unlabelled, 'try and see what happens', type buttons.. Then there is the cloud aspect though.

New Insteon Hardware - SBP-Wall - Smart Wall Switch
This was one source somebody posted a years ago. Although he didn't succeed to hack into and control Insteon equipment while demonstrating he did discover many aspects of the documentation was false, mostly frequencies and some of the protocol, IIRC. AS I continue to maintain, whitepapers are not specifications. They are proposals for comment. Most companies protect their intelligent properties by publishing old version off-spec documents. THE USPO has become a poor system and checks nothing anymore except you signed the prior art docs.

I wonder what the "Dial Switch" could be? Analogue looking dimmer with a rheostat style knob?

I don't think v4 can support the polisy or polyglot that is taking over ISY.

REST interface can be slow
@Michel KohanimThose reserved battery device writes are dangerous. I had to learn the hard way also. Cached writes can tie up ISY and cripple it.

It will be called the 007 wallswitch. Put out by the VP Daniel Craig Cregg. I wonder what they changed, if SH knows yet.

28 and 56 seconds? Your ISY must be wearing hip-waders. Have you checked your battery device pages to see if they are locked with green "1011" icons or programs constantly flickering colours?

Support Thread: 5.0.16C (ISY994)
I have run almost every v5 firmware UDI released so far and sitting back wondering why anybody would keep earliest versions just because the new device tables are in beta.

My bad. Yeah, I was answering your first post were you did use a browser before I read the second post enough. You appear to be measuring the http turn around time. ISY may do the job but not respond very quickly. I have also found the RPi o/s to take some time to switch tasks at times. If you can, try breaking the http function into a send and receive with time.sleep(0.001) between them to force RPi to allow I/o tasking. On second thought. Those times are way too long.

How are you inserting your credentials each time? With the first time access, your browser will usually ask you to enter your credentials, after ISY refuses, due to "not permitted". Every access time your browser will again get a refusal to respond due to security missing. Then your browser looks up every security it has ever been fed, and supplies them to ISY, without your knowledge. You would need to pre-encrypt your credentials and also use a browser that is capable of it.

How to change password for polyglot?
As much as the screenshots are a PITA to post they really are worth a thousand words. So much easier than explanations.

How to change password for polyglot?
DON'T play with creating an .env file. Some of those instructions in git-hub are out of date and may mess your system up badly.

Automation Cancelation
I typically use Fast On Fast Off Wait 1 second or 0 second Fast On Fast Off. Wait 0/1 second The technique may make a good fast slice surrender though. Seems we need something to allow Insteon to be processed or the cache can clog up or you see erratic flashing. I like my flux net bulbs as I can send the built-in flash codes without any I/o bog down.

Automation Cancelation
BTW:To get out of any repeat loop, only one "repeat 1 times" is needed to terminate all loops. "Repeat X times" is a syntax error but it is too late for UDI to correct it and be backward compatible. "Repeat 1 times" really means "Repeat 0 Times" or "Execute 1 Times" or "do not repeat at all".

What are the extra Repeat 1 Times lines for? A time slice surrender technique so the I/O can run?

I shut my HRV down completely while on vacation. It cycles normally while just away (occupied= False). When my vacation mode terminates, my HRV runs for 40 minutes to ensure fresh air and less VOCs etc. Sent using Tapatalk
