Thanks. I'll try to set it up and report back. Thanks guys

Ok. So here's my setup. My bathroom has 2 lights. Both are controlled by a single switchlinc. During the night, when someone enters the room, I want the lights to ramp up slowly to say 40% over a 30 sec period when the paddle on the switchlinc is turned on. the default setting on the switchlinc are set to 80% on and 0.1 sec ramp rate in the details of the devi There is only 1 device in my scene - "upstairs bathroom". This device is the switchlinc previously discussed. For clarity, Should the switchlinc in the scene be classified as the responder or a controller? If I gather what others have said, I should then be writing a program that adjusts the on level and ramp rate within the scene similar to what "techman" has described. Then, when the paddle on the switchlinc is turned on, the program will then adjust the on level and ramp rate correct? should it look something like this: scene "upstairs bathroom" - controller - bathroom switchlinc - default on - 80% 0.1 sec ramp program: IF - from 10pm to 7 AM (next day) THEN in scene "upstairs bathroom" set bathroom switchlinc to 40% , in scene "upstairs bathroom" set bathroom switchlinc to 30sec ramp rate. Will this get the job done?

larryllix, is it possible to provide me with a example as this would clarify things for me. I am still learning when it comes to programming with the ISY. I have the basics down but am not quite clear on how I would set up the scenario you describe above. Based on what you describe, I think I would need a scene, say bathroom daytime that sets the ramp rate and on level to say 2 min and 80%. Then, I would write a program that would test for the switchlincs "on" command between a certain time and get that program to set the scene? triggering program ex: if between control upstairs bathroom is switched on between 7 Am to 9 AM then Set Scene Bathroom Daytime On would that work?

Hi Guys, I'm looking for some advice on how to change the on level and ramp rates in my bathroom at different times of the day. Is it better to do this via scenes or programs or a combination of both. I would like the trigger to be when the bathroom switchlinc is turned on. I have tried manipulating the on level and ramp rate through the use of a program as follows: If From 7:00:01AM To 9:59:59PM (same day) Then In Scene '2nd Floor / Upstairs Bathroom / Upstairs Bathroom' Set 'Upstairs Bathroom' 80% (On Level) In Scene '2nd Floor / Upstairs Bathroom / Upstairs Bathroom' Set 'Upstairs Bathroom' 0.1 Sec (Ramp Rate) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I have 3 of these programs set up to change the on level and ramp rate throughout the day And finally the triggering program If Control 'Upstairs Bathroom' is switched On Then Set Scene '2nd Floor / Upstairs Bathroom / Upstairs Bathroom' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') My problem is that the lights never go on based on the ramp rate and level that the program requests. It seems to default to what the switchlinc is set to. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks in advance

Thanks guys. Helpful as always!!!

Hi Everyone, I'm wondering what would be the best way to write a program that integrates the geofencing technology in Mobilinc to turns on exterior lights when I arrive home. I have a program that automatically turns lights on and off depending on the time of day and want the new program to act as a trigger when I arrive later than expected. Where I'm stuck is being able to trigger the program when I arrive home and not have it triggering at other points of the day. I know that the trigger would have to be when the state of the variable changes (ie. enter home region area according to geofencing) but am unsure of how to write a program that would accomplish this goal Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Like a charm. Thanks so much for your help!

Hi Al I recently had the same problem. Try logging into the isy using http://isy log into your isy, click on setting and you should see an option to load the admin console from the website. This worked for me. Good Luck!!! Adam

Hi Guys. I've been a casual user of the ISY for a little bit and have recently run into a problem with the latest java update when trying to access the admin console through my ISY. I can access the admin console through the universal devices website. Everytime I go to access the admin console through my ISY, I get the following Java error. "Missing Required Permissions Manifest in main Jar http://isy/web/insteon.jar" I have flushed my Java cache and even when I try to reload it, I get the same error. Maybe some out there with some more technical knowledge can help me out? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time
