Lee, thanks for your help in explaining how ISY handles the updating. Walt

Thanks LeeG. Now I see what is going on. For the non-pro version of ISY (what I have), these two icons are not displayed. When I right click on a device, I do see "Write Updates to Device." So, one last question for non-Pro ISY: Is there a way to tell ISY to update ALL devices with just one click (i.e., rather than right clicking each device separately)?

oberkc, I am sorry, but I don't see green or gray icons for making ISY write updates to devices like you describe. I attached a screen capture of what my admin console looks like. By the way, I am using 994i, not 994i-Pro, if that makes a difference. Can you elaborate further where the icon to write updates is located relative to my screen capture?

When you say "the ISY creates the links on the devices," is that done automatically or do I have to manually do something in the Admin Console to make that happen (check a box, click something)? Or, maybe the links are written to devices immediately after I Save the Program or Scene?

I am a newbie to ISY994i and Insteon. I have used X-10 devices for the past 10+ years, but I got tired of them not working, signals not getting across phases, etc. So I got my 994i and Insteon devices before Christmas. I wrote my first program to control a scene which turned on/off 9 Insteon devices (a Christmas light scene). And it all worked quite well. I am impressed with how well and reliably Insteon works in my home. I am using a 2nd PLM to bridge phases. The problem is a question on ISY programming. I am not sure how the 994i updates all the Insteon devices when you create a new program, scene, etc. (or you modify an existing one). What I mean is, does the 994i send the changes automatically, or do I have to click some option on the Admin Console that will make ISY update all information on the Insteon devices? Thanks for your help. Walt
