Perhaps I'm confused about the function of the secondary buttons on KeypadLinc .... I just converted to Insteon and read somewhere that if a secondary button is linked to a dim-able switch, holding the secondary button will dim / raise the controlled switch. But now I cannot find that posting, nor does the manual suggest this function is supported ? Anyone ?

I understand the 2487S primary switch is ON - OFF, but can the ABCD buttons on it support dimming to other scenes when associated with the ISY ? Also, is it possible to pair a 2477S with a 2477D (assuming the load is on the 2477D), will the 2477S support dimming via ISY ?

I was just reading another thread on "When to use a Scene instead of a Program" which reminded of a question The first time I powered up my new ISY and added new devices for the first time, I noticed after each device was added, there was a new scene created. I did not understand at the time what scenes were, so I deleted everything, did a factory reset and started over again. But when I started adding devices again, each devise appeared only in the ISY folder, but no scenes where being created. While I can create scenes for each device manually, just curious how to set the ISY back to a state where new scenes would be automatically created when adding new devices ? jim

Quick Thank You for your suggestions, Good samples to learn from ...

Trying to write a wakeup program that compares Sunrise and a wakeup time taking into account the season. Let’s say high summer, Sunrise is before wakeup time and I don't want the lights on, but in winter, wakeup is long before Sunrise, so turn the lights on until Sunrise turns them off. Given that Wakeup is fixed at 6:00AM during weekdays and Sunrise varies every day, how does one create the logic (Sunrise is false and time is 6:00 AM) = True, turn light on … else do nothing If On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri Time is NOT Sunrise And On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri Time is 6:00:00 AM Then Set 'Wakeup Light' On

Thank you for your help ... it works ... Makes sense now ... I wondered why Value on VAR_1 State never changed when Init was changing

I created a program named DUSK ... I was not expecting it to be a select-able item when adding new programs

trying understand how Variables work ... I can see the VAR_1 Init value change, but not control an actual device I have 3 programs for this test Variable ON ------------------ If X10 'B2/On (3)' is Received Then $VAR_1 Init To 1 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Variable OFF ------------------ If X10 'B2/Off (11)' is Received Then $VAR_1 Init To 0 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') On the Variables TAB / State I can see the value in the Init column change to 0 or 1 when B2 goes On or Off ======================================================================= What I don't understand is why this does not work Test device on / off via Variable ------------------ If $VAR_1 is 1 Then Set '25.C4.73.1' On Else Set '25.C4.73.1' Off

forget it ... I see my error

Thanks for the help, got it working What is the DUSK program for / do ? If Program 'Dusk' is True

Thanks for the info, but here comes the questions on editing Editing the program, the first pull down in the If condition window only has "And" & "Or" to select How do I get a pull down to select "From" & "To" ? Cheers

Hi, just purchased an ISY-994i to replace an X10 system from the 90’s running on a DOS controller This type of programming is completely new to me, so what may be obvious to others is something I am struggling to understand. I am using 2 lamp modules to test with and mixing in some existing Leviton control switches … this is my test program which does not trigger at DUSK. IF – Program ‘Dusk’ is True Then – Set Module_1 On Wait 10 seconds Set Module_2 On Send X10 ‘C1/On (3)’ <<< Leviton control switch Else - Set Module_1 Off Set Module_2 Off Nothing happens when the Sunrise/Sunset time surpasses the Sunset time ? Next, there are no Diagnostic / Event Logs being generated … how do you enable them ?
