He's more of a resource user. I consider myself a power user and use that power to use less resources. Gary Funk (Joke removed at the request of one user)

I have several installed and I don't have a problem with more than one listening to me. I also don't live in a cave-like house where sound carries house wide. Gary Funk (Joke removed at the request of one user)

I'm don't want to change your mind. I'm just answering your question. The reason it works is because Amazon didn't plan on anyone using multiple devices for home countrol. Gary Funk (Joke removed at the request of one user)

Because guests, children, friends don't know what you named each device. And it's just not natural to name things. When your in your bedroom, do you ask one to "turn on the light" or to "turn on the bedroom light?" I'm Gary Funk and I approved this message.

For what it's worth, I'm not having this issue. I'm Gary Funk and I approved this message. -
Because you can't tell Alexa, "lights on" and the lights come on in the room you are currently in. Gary Funk (Joke removed at the request of one user)

I haven't used the list in months. I'm curious as to what devices are you adding that can't be added automaticly? Gary Funk (Joke removed at the request of one user)

It's no different than soldering to the RF remote. Gary Funk (Joke removed at the request of one user)

Did you connect it to the actual button on the control device or just connect to the two wires coming from the control device? Gary Funk (Joke removed at the request of one user)

His first message says his GDC has battery power. Just like mine does. Gary Funk (Joke removed at the request of one user)

Yes, I understand. You need to make sure the buttons the Living Room KPL are set to Toggle. On that KPL click on the B button then on Options in the right side window. I'm Gary Funk and I approved this message.

No no no. The ISY program would set the scene level AFTER the level was set by the dimmer. The end means being that the next time the scene was set ON it would set the lights to the previous level of the dimmer, which was previously set by an ISY program. I'm Gary Funk and I approved this message.

Setting the on level of a scene from the last level set by the keypad MIGHT be possible with a program. I haven't tried this but from reading past posts it is certainly worth considering. I'm Gary Funk and I approved this message.

Yes. Each Button A is a controller in a scene that has the lights for that scene. One controller in that scene will have to control the load. In the case of Buttons B to H you will have to have a switch to control the load for each set of lights. I'm Gary Funk and I approved this message.

The 62% is an arbitrary figure to illustrate the process, but then you already knew that. Gary Funk (Joke removed at the request of one user)

Exactly. We shouldn't guess like the guy in post 2. Gary Funk (Joke removed at the request of one user)

I think what he means is, he uses a dimmer to set the on level to 62%. Later the light is turned off. The next time an On command is issued the light comes in at 62%. I understand this because he doesn't try to talk over anyone's head and he keeps it simple. Gary Funk (Joke removed at the request of one user)

You can mount a box to the outside if the house to contain the switch. I'm Gary Funk and I approved this message.
