On Levels and Ramp Rates are independently set on each controller. When you click on a controller in the scene, you are viewing the levels for each responder in that scene when controlled by the selected controller. It's normal that the sliders may be different when you click on different controllers on a scene, because you may want them set differently. When the scene itself is selected, you are viewing the settings for when the scene is controlled from the ISY itself. When selecting a controller in a scene, the On Level sliders are not showing the current status of the lights - it's showing you what the status WILL be when the controller switch is pressed. Does this make sense? Of course, if they are not set how you intend, go ahead and adjust them as needed.

Hi Zick - Each controller in a scene can hold different values for each responder, so what you're showing may be 100% normal except you said they are not the actual values. Some of the values show as max ramp rate, which is sometimes indicative of a failed query on that device. Could you try querying each device in the scene, see if you get any errors, and see if the incorrect values go away?

Hi Scott - Sounds like you have some half-links in your devices. If you're going to remove devices from all scenes and factory reset, go ahead and remove them from the ISY as well. So, I would: - remove each device from the ISY (which will remove them from scenes as well) - factory reset each device - re-add the devices back into the ISY - re-add them to your scenes as needed

Yes, you could to that.

Customizable notifications are slated for a future release, but at the moment it's not possible.

Take a peek at this thread to see what I and others are doing with lighting scenes triggered by a KPL: http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=2280 Also, KPL secondary buttons cannot be controlled directly. You must add them to a scene, and send commands to the scene instead.

This would not work because the motion sensor goes into a sleep mode until it needs to send the next command. It is an INSTEON controller, but not a responder - so it has no idea that you turned the switch off.

Hi Someguy - How are you accessing the ISY? Your My Lighting icon, or via shortcut/favorite in your web browser? If the latter, copy and paste the site address here or email support@universal-devices.com if you'd prefer.

If you press the KPL button ON, the ISY's Admin Console should show that the button is ON - and vice versa. If the ISY and the actual KPL are out of sync, there is a problem.

I mean, for example, if you have multiple programs that react based on the status of the same device. You may need to add a WAIT to one of the programs for them to operate as intended, for one to take priority over another, etc.

One note - any X10 codes programmed into devices would not be cleared.

Check the status of that KPL button on the ISY's Admin Console. Did the ISY see the button being pressed OFF? If it did, I think you'll need to adjust your programs. If it did not, you'll need to figure out why the ISY is not always seeing the button press (probably a communications issue). In this scenario WAITs can be used to give the ISY time to correctly evaluate the status of yoru devices before triggering the action. Also, when scenes are controlled there can be substantial traffic on the powerline (the larger the scene, the more traffic due to cleanups, etc.). Adding WAITs can space commands out to avoid powerline collisions and increase reliability.

I don't believe so, but can't say I've tested.

No, the restore will restore the whole device.

The ELSE statement only runs if the IF statement is explicity not true. Saying "not switched on" makes the IF statement explicitly not true when you press the KPL button on, triggering the execution of the ELSE portion of your program. Sounds like a timing issue. Clean up your programs as I'll mention below, and if still happens add/remove WAIT commands to your THEN and ELSE statements to adjust the timing as needed. You should be able to combine these to something like: If Control 'KitchenKeypad.C' is switched on And Control 'KitchenKeypad.C' is not switched off Then Wait 1 second Set Scene 'indoorXmasLights' On Else Wait 1 second Set Scene 'indoorXmasLights' Off Did you find you needed the WAIT command? If not, try removing to see if your program still executes reliably.

Glad to hear. They do sometimes get knocked loose during shipping.

This is great, thanks for the info!

Hi Gary - Unfortunately, at the moment, the ISY's Network Module cannot react to commands or responses received FROM devices.

Thanks for the details. I'm not able to duplicate here, however, with Windows 7 Ultimate x64. UDReport.txt is saved here at: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Temp Account I am logged in as is a local Administrator, and User Account Control is set to the "Default" setting. Anyone else with Windows 7 seeing this?

Or like you suggested, some kind of an IR repeater. I use a Niles IR repeater over Cat5 to keep my ISY in the basement while I control my lighting in the theater. You can also purchase RF IR repeaters. Some high-end universal remotes also feature RF receivers that you can locate with your equipment, out of sight from the remote control.

Since your status program is accurately controlling the state of that KPL button, I don't think you need your condition checks. I would just do: If Control 'KPL.C' is switched On And Control 'KPL.C' is not switched Off Then Set Scene 'XmasLightsAll' On Else Set Scene 'XmasLightsAll' Off

Yes that should be fine.

I would personally use ISY Programs to accomplish what you desire. I would create a scene containing all your devices called "HolidayLights" or whatever you choose. I would create a scene containing the KPL button and call it "HolidayLightStatus" or whatever you choose. I would write a program that checks the status of your individual devices and, if any are NOT OFF, turn "HolidayLightStatus" ON. I would write a program that turns "HolidayLights" OFF if your KPL button is pressed OFF, and turns "HolidayLights" ON if your KPL button is pressed ON. Check out this thread for some similar scenarios and example Programs: http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=2280

The IR version includes an IR receiver on the front of the unit that you can use to trigger ISY Programs with a universal remote control. This allows you to control INSTEON and other devices with your universal remote control.

I think you'll need to provide a bit more information. What do the programs that are not running have in common? Are they triggered by INSTEON devices, or simply run on a schedule? You also might consider posting the programs you are having issues with.
