Izzy is out. See message #68.

Hmm, I don't see an On for the thermostat. There is Fan Off, Fan On, Mode Off, Mode Heat, Mode Cool, Mode Auto, Mode Fan, Mode Program Auto, Mode Program Heat and Mode Program Cool. Is "Automation / Music Room / Thermastat / Music Room - Main," a scene? If so, what are the contents of the scene?

That's exactly what this topic was about. Grouping is easy if only one device is involved. For anything involving more than one device, scenes are required.

Which PLM are you using and how old is it?

Post your program here. (right click on the program name, select Copy to Clipboard, paste to forum)

Here's the instructions for creating radio button manually:

The (original) manual method for creating radio buttons requires a lot, lot, lot of button pushing and is cumbersome, especially if a wrong button is pressed inadvertently. The grouping feature provided by the ISY requires just a few clicks. A problem, as noted above, is that the grouping is not carried over to scenes, only the device itself responds to the grouping.

Grouping affects only the device itself.

Yes, you can use the same PLM. But, if it's two or more years old, then you may want to buy a back-up PLM now.

You may want to more carefully read the Button Grouping WARNING and use scenes like the example I gave. Grouping affects only the device itself, not scenes.

How di you create the radio buttons. The usual method is: For button A A1 controller on A2 controller on B1 responder off B2 responder off C1 responder off C2 responder off D1 responder off D2 responder off plus the device(s) being controlled repeat for each button.

You'll need the new portal in order to integrate the ISY with Echo. Neither he portal nor any other module is available for the 99.

Hmm, if the load drops, then even Fast Off won't complete.

You can easily test Lee's conjecture. Create a program that give you an indication if the furnace draw drops below 500 watts. Then run your program with an Off, not a Fast Off. It the load drops before 20 minutes, then the program will evaluate as false and stop running.

Glad that worked for you. Glad you caught my typo. I'm constantly mistyping if, it, and is

The Inston signal travels primarily through a hard wire and has RF as a backup. But, control is via logic circuits. My dad gave great advice. I didn't always think so at the time, but the older I got the wiser he became

I set a Front Off button the Non-Toggle Off and use the following program: If Status 'CR / Devices / CR FanLinc-Light 80' is not Off Or Status 'KT / Devices / KT Ceiling 45' is not Off Or Status 'LR / Devices / LR Ceiling Light KPL 20' is not Off Then Set Scene 'DR / Scenes / DR Front Off Button' On Else Set Scene 'DR / Scenes / DR Front Off Button' Off If any one of the devices is at any brightness level, then the button is lit. The button is unlit when either all the devices are off or I press the Front Off button.

Most Insteon devices can be a responder to hundreds of scenes, but can be a controller of only one.

It's always a good idea to not close everything up until everything has been tested. Enjoy you new virtual 3-way configuration

A 360º degree sensor can see only 180º when mounted on the ceiling. Or will see only motion from the ceiling to a few feet below, depending on how you mount it. What is the shape of the area you want to cover? Provide dimensions.

If you did not drop the fixture from the start, then you did not follow the instructions at all. If you did not drop the fixture from the start, then don't expect a working system. If you did not drop the fixture from the start, then consider yourself lucky that you didn't destroy something.

Do not install a standard switch in the single-gang box. Check the voltage between the black and white wires at the single-gang box.

Thanks, Larry
