Thermostat Recommendations
Something is amiss. If only the red and white wires to the thermostat are connected at the other end, then the thermostat would control heat only.

That seems to be the other end of the cable that runs to the compressor. What about the other thermostat cable? And what do the heavier wires connect to?

Thermostat Recommendations
The other end of the thermostat cable goes to a control panel, usually located on or near the furnace. You'll need to locate that end and post what you find.

At the end where the blue wire connects to noting (not the thermostat end), is there a terminal labelled C?

How to set a program variable via Alexa portal?
Scene can be dimmed or brightened (thanks, Benoit), just not to a specific level. Each command to dim or brighten a scene changes the level by about 9%.

Advanced Programming Environment
You need to separately set/adjust the On-level for each device that you want to respond in the scene. If the device is a controller, then it's also a responder.

1. The thermostat shows two red wires. The cable image show one cable. What does the other red wire connect to? 2. What does the other end of the thermostat cable connect to (the one with the clipped blue wire)?

Advanced Programming Environment
A program can do that. Do you want to set just the device itself or the device as part of a scene? Use "Your Devices" for a device or "Adjust Scene" for a device within a scene.

The I/O Linc response depends on the momentary mode you have set. Only Momentary C allows a different response to on or off.

NEW Installation - Insteon or Z-Wave?
That's only advantageous in situations where there already is a multi-way configuration. In the case of a virtual 3-way configuration, only the more costly Z-Wave devices will suffice. BTW, Z-Wave does have 4-way ability using multiple slave switches.

Insteon Cam turns lights on ?
The camera, although branded Insteon is not an Insteon device. If you have the portal and are adept at IFTTT, then you can have the camera send a notification to trigger a program.

can't change a KPL button state via a program
Create a scene that contains only the button as a responder. Use a program to control the button scene.

I/O Linc 2450 "Cannot determine Insteon Engine"
Most GDOs plug in at the ceiling. Why is the size of a FilterLinc a problem there?

Keypad button to control dimming?
Using non-dimmable bulbs with a dimmer, in this case the light portion of the FanLinc will shorten the life of the dimmer, the load or both. That's because TRIACs dim by clipping the waveform so less voltage reaches the load. The problem is that TRIACs clip the waveform even at full brightness. Here's how is control fan speeds with one button. I chose to duplicate the chain-pull logic, that is, if the fan is off one pull is high, the second is medium, the third is low and the fan turns off on the fourth pull. There are no Else steatments, so I left those off for brevity. CR Fan High If Control 'CR / Devices / CR KPL LR Light / CR KPLH CR Fan' is switched On And Status 'CR / Devices / CR FanLinc-Light 80 / CR FanLinc-Motor' is Off Then Set Scene 'CR / Scenes / CR Fan-High' On CR Fan Medium If Control 'CR / Devices / CR KPL LR Light / CR KPLH CR Fan' is switched On And Status 'CR / Devices / CR FanLinc-Light 80 / CR FanLinc-Motor' is High Then Set Scene 'CR / Scenes / CR Fan-Medium' On CR Fan Low If Control 'CR / Devices / CR KPL LR Light / CR KPLH CR Fan' is switched On And Status 'CR / Devices / CR FanLinc-Light 80 / CR FanLinc-Motor' is Med Then Set Scene 'CR / Scenes / CR Fan-Low' On CR Fan Off If Control 'CR / Devices / CR KPL LR Light / CR KPLH CR Fan' is switched On And Status 'CR / Devices / CR FanLinc-Light 80 / CR FanLinc-Motor' is Low Then Set Scene 'CR / Scenes / CR Fan-Off' Off

I/O Linc 2450 "Cannot determine Insteon Engine"
That strongly suggests that you have power line interference. If so, you need to track down the problematic device(s) and use one or more FilterLincs. The most common devices that need filtering are computers, peripherals and UPSs. What else is on that specific circuit?

Thermostat Recommendations
Be prepared before buying any thermostat. Open the thermostat and post what you find, the wire colors and what each is connected to. There is no need to disconnect anything at this point.

How to set a program variable via Alexa portal?
If you want the Echo to control the intensity of a single dimmer, then add the dimmer to the portal and give it a unique spoken. BTW, then most expedient way to control a group of devices is with a scene, not a program. You can also vocally brighten and/or dim a scene, but not a program.

How do you sync a KeypadLinc status light with the devices it controls?
That should work. Does the the KPL button control anything else?

Turn ON Something and Leave It ON? How?
I have several dark locations where the delay of a program controlled by a motion sensor, however brief, is too long. A scene turns the light on, a program turns it off. Wingsy, the inherit delay of executing a program statement is mostly dependent on the speed of the processor. A significantly faster processor equates to both a significantly higher cost and, often, somewhat more heat.
