Yes the dimming switch LEDs on the side, by setting them to 0% at night still light up. BUT you can turn off the LEDs completely by manually going to 'Options' in ISY994i. Just wondering how we can do that through programming. And why haven't people complained about this years ago? I don't mind them in the general area of the house to be slightly lit up at night, but in the bedroom I want them to be all the way off at night.

I see in the ISY994i you can set 'Options' to turn off the LED in dimmer switches. Right now I have a program that runs twice a day to change the brightness of the switches, but I'd like to also at midnight to turn the LED off completely. Is it possible ?

Is there a way to attach verbiage to variables? I'm starting to collect a lot, and would be nice to be able to write a brief description about what they do.

I'm starting to play around with the Philips Hue. Got the Polyglot working great. I want to change the colors based on the time of day. How can I change the color, without turning on the light in the command? I have programs that run at certain times of day, that kicks off the color change. Some lights I want to turn on (outside potlights), but some I just want to store the color and not turn them on until the user does (hallway light). It seems anytime you send a light a change, it turns on to whatever brightness is stored. Except you can't store a 0 in brightness, has to be 1 or higher. My only workaround is so far is to store the new color in variables. If the light is already on, then turn it on again. My 'turn on' program will set the color from the variables.

Digikey label a lot of them as "General Purpose", found one with impedance of 250 mOhm. Sweet, I love the internet. All is well now, back up and running. I also cleaned a lot of flux on the bottom side of board, pretty sloppy work Insteon ! Digikey C11 = 493-3276-ND (100uF @ 25V) C7,C13 = 1189-1860-ND (100uF @ 50V) C3 = 493-12079-1-ND (10uF @ 400V) C8 = 493-10329-1-ND (10uF @ 16V)

Version 1.B here, I have C7 and C13 as the older 10uF 35V. Should I switch them to 100uf / 35V?

Ya I kind of figured that would of been the answer, with it being hardwired. I just wasn't sure if there was a software (REST) command. The only way would be to install an AC relay hidden in there and send the ELK output to it. Oh well, the robbers will have a flashlight anyways. lol.

Is there a way to disable a light switch? Ie, when the ELK is armed, I don't want the furnace room light to work (where the ELK box & ISY are stored). So if someone breaks in, they can't turn on the light. Ya ya ya, they probably have a flashlight, but I'm having fun with this stuff. I created a program to turn the light off anytime it's turned on (when the ELK is armed), but it still allows the person to turn the light on for a brief second, then it shuts off. I tried with a REST command (/rest/nodes//disable) but it just stops ISY from communicating with it, you can still click the button to turn on the light. Which makes sense because it's hardcoded right into the switch incase the ISY fails, so for now, looks like a program is the only 'kind of' work around?

Ah ok, gotcha. I'll stick to the user & pwd then. Thanks.

I was on 4.0.5 and upgraded to 4.2.5. I have the same Insteon camera (firmware 11.37.2.56) which is the latest I believe. It does report fixing up a security hole from previous versions. Attached is my screen shot, I've tried both the 'get' and 'post' just to confirm.

I can't seem to get the Authorization header to work? The user=xxx&pwd=xxx works. Still use http POST? Any other changes from the older screenshot? I can't see why it doesn't work when adding the Authorization header.
