Old House-Weird Wiring
Once you provide line and neutral to the KPL and cap the load (red) wire, you can use the buttons for whatever you want.

Old House-Weird Wiring
Modified for KPL and FanLinc: Remove the fixture. You'll probably find one or more black wires (line) connected to the white wire going to the switch. Reconnect the wires going to the switch so that white is neutral and black is line. Connect the KPL to line and neutral and cap the load wire. Install the FanLinc in the canopy and create five scenes, one for the light, three for the fan speeds and one for fan off.

Newbie to ISY994 programmimg. Sunrise-Sunset?
Two programs.

Old House-Weird Wiring
That's standard wiring. What you have is called a switch-loop. The line is white and the load wire is black. That's done in order to prevent wiring the fixture to two white wires. Back to your question. The answer is yes, but you'll need two devices, one to take the place of the switch (e.g., SwitchLinc, Keypad) and one to install in the fixture, such as a Micro Module or In-LineLinc. What you install in the fixture depends on the load. Remove the fixture. You'll probably find one or more black wires (line) connected to the white wire going to the switch. Reconnect the wires going to the switch so that white is neutral and black is line. Cap the load wire of whatever you decide to install in the wall box. Install the fixture module and create a scene with the wall device as a controller of the fixture device.

Synchrolink status doesn't get updated frequently
- LED lights flickering when turned off from linked insteon switch
Thx for the update- Hidden Door Sensor OCCASSIONALLY registering twice
A workaround is to use a second program to disable the first for a few seconds.- 2441TH/2441ZTH Themostat - Ctl State Does Not Report
I get a similar readout at level 1 of the event viewer. A query of either Coot Ctl or Heat Ctl gives no result in the Current State box. But programs run as they should. Here's a couple of programs, one triggered by status and one by control: Fans-Front If Status 'LR / Devices / LR Thermostat Main / LR Thermostat Cool Ctl' is On Then Set Scene 'LR / Scenes / LR Ceiling Fan' On Set Scene 'CR / Scenes / CR Fan-Low' On Set Scene 'MR / Scenes / MR Fan' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') LR HVAC On If Control 'LR / Devices / LR Thermostat Main / LR Thermostat Cool Ctl' is switched On Or Control 'LR / Devices / LR Thermostat Main / LR Thermostat Heat Ctl' is switched On Then Set 'BR / Devices / LR HVAC Indicator' On Else Set 'BR / Devices / LR HVAC Indicator' Off- 2441TH/2441ZTH Themostat - Ctl State Does Not Report
Non-line powered devices don't always report their status. I have several programs that depend on the state of our 2441TH thermostats. The programs run successfully every time. I also have some 2441ZTH thermostats that control the wired ones, but no programs that depend on the wireless thermostat's state.- Suddenly having strange issues...please help.
The PLM I received from Amazon (months ago) is V2 with 9E firmware. AFAIK, the PLM does not solve the ALL ON problem. That's been addressed by removing the command from Insteon devices. It's been awhile since I've experienced an ALL ON (with the new PLM), but my newest devices were not affected.- Synchrolink status doesn't get updated frequently
The SynchoLinc does not have an out-of-box configuration. The SynchroLinc must be calibrated for each situation as described in the on-line Owner's Manual. You are also missing the three values for the options I asked about.- Synchrolink status doesn't get updated frequently
The SynchroLinc has three options? What is each set at?- Unable to set scene to a value between on and off
It doesn't make sense to, "turn on a scene to 50%." If a member is set to 100%, then the device will be set to 50%. Not a problem. But, what if the scene member is as 40%. Should it go to 50% or 20%. And what about a device that's set to off? Half-off or half-on- aeotec gen5

Thus, the reason for I2CS. Thanks, Lee- LED lights flickering when turned off from linked insteon switch
The cans linked to are dimmable, but the OP indicated, "Not sure if this is the exact model but very similar." Similar, in this case, is meaningless. One digit/letter difference could mean an entirely different product.- BuzzLinc Program
Lee, This is a BuzzLinc- LED lights flickering when turned off from linked insteon switch
It's been more that half a century since ground wires were required. I'm not sure what you mean by, "mixed up the ground and neutrals on each of the buss bars." There should be only one buss bar. There's also a concern about "it lacked a ground." What lacked a ground? Do you have metal boxes?- LED lights flickering when turned off from linked insteon switch
Try one halogen (or incandescent) bulb along with the other three being LEDs. Did that help?- Cannot Communicate with new dimmer
An ISY 99i is somewhat old. It does not recognize most newer Insteon devices. You might want to consider upgrading.- This could be bad...
There's an Insteon device that interfaces with MI locks.- Switchlinc 2477S Will Not Turn Off from ISY994i - Comm Problems
A phase-coupler that bridges the opposite legs of the split, single-phase electric supply for X10 is effective for Insteon as well. Active couplers, however, mess up Insteon signals. The SignaLinc 4816A2 is a passive coupler and does not interfere with Insteon, so you can leave it in place. However, needing to plug the Mini Controller into a particular outlet indicates, as you've surmised, that bridging has not occurred or that you have powerline interference. As a test. move the PLM to it's original location (you can just use an extension cord). Does X10 communication improve?- This could be bad...
I've seen this boast a few times from various posters on various forums, "I will be presenting my research, and releasing tools demonstrating the vulnerabilities throughout the Insteon home automation system," but not yet any evidence of any presentation.- Strange behavior from INSTEON 2635-222 ON/OFF Module
That indicates that the 2635 can communicate with the 2477S. What's the result if you initiate the test from the 2477S?- Question about fanlinc and the pull chains on the fan
Bypassing the switch forgoes the ability to test, as indicated by Teken. Some of our fans had short chains with decorative attachment (piece of chain + knob). I removed the decorative part. On other fans, I tucked the chain in or on top so it wasn't easily seen or seen at all. Stored above the glass, as larryflix suggested works, too. - LED lights flickering when turned off from linked insteon switch
