Great info (if not entirely what I wanted to hear). I guess I would rather live with LED being out-of-sync than having to press button twice though, and it sounds like ISY gives me a way to do that. I might also convert to 4 scene, given that the "on" and "off" for each scene are can be programs and not static scenes. For example, I wouldn't want the counterpart to "all lights off" to necessarily be "all lights on". When I say lights, it's not really all lights either, just a quick way of shutting everything off except for things that need to be left alone (like the outdoor security lights).

I know that the Mini Remote can be switched from 8 scene toggle mode to 4 scene non-toggle mode. However that dedicates all 8 keys to just 4 scenes. I want to keep the 8 scene mode, but change the toggling to be aware of current status. I don't think your suggested fix does what I want, which is to make the toggling of bedroom light scene aware of current light status.

I haven't yet received my ISY994i, but this situation is one of the reasons why I decided to get an ISY994i, yet I don't really know if ISY994i can solve it either. Using Insteon basic linking (no controller), I created a scene to toggle the bedroom light on and off (using on/off device). On the 8 scene mini remote, this is literally a toggle. One press on, another press off. Then I created a second scene which turns all lights off, including the bedroom light. The problem is that if I use the "all lights off" scene to turn off the bedroom light, next time I want to turn bedroom light on, I have to press the toggle button twice, once to turn it "off" (since it doesn't know the bedroom light was already off) and another time to turn it on. This isn't nice. If the light is already off, regardless of how (scene toggle button, all lights off, or local pushbutton) I want one push of the mini remote button to turn it on. I can see the light is off, and I want it on. I don't want to have to think about *why* it is off--what was done previously. Can ISY994i do this, and if so, how?
