So do the top and bottom buttons' backightl only have on or off capability?

I guess I wasn't specific enough. I am wanting to know how to control the backlight for the bigger buttons for the 6 button keypadlinc. Is it the same as the other four buttons? (I'm not using the switch to control anything, just using it with isy.

How are the load buttons controlled? Can they be turned on and off independently? If so, how? The same as the other buttons?

so, is there a way to make one of the individual buttons go to a bright or dim setting similar to pressing the button without pressing the button (i.e. using a program)? If so, how.

If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Hearth Keypad / Hearth Keypad' On 15 / Off 0 (Backlight Level) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') There is an On and an Off level? Is there a separate light for each button? When I set the buttons to non-toggle, each press is read as an "off" by ISY, it seems. why is this? thanks for any help.

is there a way to type into a browser URL that will make the ISY do anything (run a program)?

I've had quite a bit of luck getting my ISY to cause my Redeye to do things, but haven't started in on trying to get my Redeye to cause my ISY to do things.

Simple questions?: 1) Is a press and hold the bottom of on a switchlinc dimmer read as "Dim" or "Face Down"? What is the other one used for, BTW? 2) If I press and hold this button, using the program below, it seems to only send the command once no matter how long I hold the button. How could I get it to repeat it self while I'm holding the button? If Control 'Hearth / Hearth-3-West Light, by TV' is switched Fade Down Or Control 'Hearth / Hearth-3-West Light, by TV' is switched Dim Then Resource 'Receiver Volume Down' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

simple question have simple answers, right? Here goes: Here is my program: If Control 'Hearth / Hearth-3-West Light, by TV' is switched Fade Down Or Control 'Hearth / Hearth-3-West Light, by TV' is switched Dim Then Resource 'Receiver Volume Down' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') questions: 1) when I press and hold the down button on a switchlinc dimmer is that interpreted as "fade down" or "dim" by the dimmer? What is the other one used for then? 2) When I press and hold the button, is the "resource 'receiver volume down'" going to happen only once, no matter how long I hold it? Would a repeat work to get the volume to go down for as long as I hold the button? Better ideas?

I (recently) figured out how to get my isy to control my "Redeye" remote control device to run my ir equipment using the isy's network module.

okay, thanks guys.

I was considering buying a KeypadLinc and I recall quite a bit of headaches with making them work with ISY. Are we past this? Is the 6 or 8 button keypadlinc any better for function?

Michel: Is there a tutorial or something that you can point me to? I have a 2411T and would like to use the network module to control it.

I've had two episodes where my PLM lost touch with my network. Once was after an update. Other time was arbitrary. Ive had her for 3-5 years, is she getting old and forgetful? (joke) If you suggest replacing it, which model should I go with? Or am I overreacting?

I just installed a couple of webcams and I was curious as to whether the ISY can control or be used with the webcams in any useful way?

Is there a certain "whole-house" suppressor that will clean up noise coming into a house? I'd like to look into this to protect my house, but also to (have the hope of) decreasing my signal problems.

Okay, thank you. I've done this and it seemed to go fine. I'm not at home now, so will have to "test" it tonight. thanks again.

No, it was not reset. When I click this restore PLM, it tells met hat I need to put all of my Motion Sensors in connect mode. I've tried something like this once before and it seemed that as I put the second and third one into link mode, they seemed to affect one another. Any advice there?

I upgraded to 3.2.6 and every single one of my insteon devices could no longer communicate with my isy. I am currently going in and clicking, one by one to "restore" them. Is there a better way?

Brian: do you have experience with them? Do you think they'll be reliable for this purpose and distance?

I just remembered that I have some of these: http://www.retrothing.com/2006/10/radio_shack_rem.html If they still work.

Okay. Then what are my options to get the IR signal from my living room to my (finished) basement. probably a distance of approximately 60 feet or so. I believe that I may have an extra CAT5 cable running between the two areas. Could I use that? If not, is there a way to piggyback onto my TV cable or an existing CAT5 or should I go wireless? Thanks for any help.

My redeye is in my living room and my isy with IR is in basement. Thought the rs232 would be better (more reliable).

My Redeye (not the mini or pro, just the Redeye) unit is now RS-232 capable. I am not a computer genius and don't really understand command line stuff. I'd like to use a button on my Iphone (redeye app) to control the isy. is this possible? I'll need a really dumbed down explanation, please.

What is Smarthome pro?
