I changed the system setting. I think this worked. Thanks Javi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I do not see the dot until I click into the program, then back to favorites, then I am able to run the program. At first I see grey program icons. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello, I have a simple program to dim lights so that we can watch a movie. In the ID Mobile app, in put the program in favorites. I pick on it, it takes me to a status page, then if I go back the favorites, the icon changes and I can then activate the program. This two step process should be easier. What can I do?

The preorder site says there is discounts for membership. What is the benefit? I don’t know if I got it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve been thinking about buying a Polisy or Polisy Pro. Does this supersede Polisy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh, I see. The KISS principle (keep it simple). I can remove the query of the lights as a trouble shooting step. My only reason for adding them is so that I can then turn all lights off except one (30%) for safety. It then turns itself off after a period of time. I'll give this a try this evening. Thx.

I did have parenthesis previously and it did not seem to help. Here is what I think it should be to group all the lights in one big "or" condition. I am at work so this is from memory, not cut and paste from the program. The reason I do not remove the "or status" for all the lights is that I want the ISY to do something if she leaves any of the lights on, or dimmed (not off). I could change this to a status "on" query. The reason I use a time of day condition is that I want normal operation when we are using the rooms during the day. My wife would be annoyed if she is reading a book and the lights turn off on her.

I am trying to write a program to turn of lights if my daughter leaves them on in the middle of the night. My problem is that the program status is always "true" and runs no matter is the motion sensor is on or off. I've tried setting the motion sensor to "is not on". No difference. Motion sensor settings are below.

I would like to dim some lights and turn others off when ready to watch a movie, I have set up two scenes, one for lights to be dimmed, other for lights to be off. I then wrote a small programs with no "If", but the "then" runs the two scenes. One problem is that I set the device on state to 45% for the lights remaining on. Now, when other schenes turn on these lights, they only turn on the 45% brightness. Can I tell the device in the program what brightness to go to?

Ok, that worked just fine. Once I finish buying enough switches, this will be real cool. When my kids leave lights on downstairs, I'll be able to turn them off without leaving my room. I just ordered 4 more switches from Smarthome. Some each paycheck for a while.

Thanks LeeG, I'll give that a try. It is confusing to hear that a device can be a controller in one sceen, yet a responder in another.

To have one switch control the other, and visa versa, don't they each need to be a controller of the other? If I make them both a responder, the 3 way option will not work, right? 1st priority is that my wife can use them as before I changed to these fancy switches. My automation sceens are a secondary goal.

I have 3 way lights in my house, like those you would find at the top and bottom of a staiwell. I replaced them with insteon dimmers. Each is a controller and a responder to each other. They act as the 3 way swiches they replaced. I have a scene called "entry light" that is used to control both switches/devices. I would like to create a scene to turn off all the lights downstairs. When I tried to put the 3 way configured switches into the all of scene. I would not do it. It says that 30.BA.D4. is already a controller for 33.B6.A8.1, would you like to make it a responder (NO)? Aslo says It says that 33.B6.A8.1 is already a controller for 30.BA.D4.1, would you like to make it a responder? How can I turn off all lights, even those already in scenes or have controller/responder relationships??

Done. I also added the sunrise/sunset condition. Kinda cool that it works. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lighted Entry - [iD 0003][Parent 0001] If From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) And Status 'Garage Door-Sensor' is not On And Elk Zone 'Garage Door' is Violated Then Run Program 'Entry for 15' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Entry for 15 - [iD 0004][Parent 0001] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set Scene 'Entry Light' Fast On Wait 15 minutes Set Scene 'Entry Light' Fade Down Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I'm going to scrap the idea of delayed trigger. It is not needed. The light comes on as I walk into the house as the garage door sensor AND the house door sensor are open. Problem I have is that the WAIT 15 to turn off the light did not work. Reason is that as both doors become closed, the program AND state is no longer true. The program stopped before the wait period was over. I added a second program so that when the trigger condition occured, it starts the second program 'wait 15' and it no longer matters what happens to the 1st program conditions. Now I need to figure how to set it up to run only when dark. Program Lighted Entry: If Status 'Garage Door Sensor' in not On And Elk Zone 'Garage Door' is violated #elk zone 'garage door' is the door from garage to house Then Set Scene 'Entry Light' On Run Program 'Off in 15' (if) Else - No Action ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Program Off in 15: If Nothing Then Wait 15 Minutes Set Scene 'Entry Light' Off Else Nothing

I'd like to make a program that monitors the roll up garage door (io linc) and the entry door into the house (Elk), then turn on a light so I never have to come home to a dark house. Once I get the basics, I'll add sunrise/sunset so it only activates at night. Couple problems. I'd like the Garage Door Sensor (roll-up) to trigger watching that the Elk Zone 'Garage Door' (garage into house). The way this is written, both need to be true, but I could walk into the garage from outside, close the big door behind me and not trigger a 'True' state. Also, I do not want to turn on a light because an occupant opens the door to a garage. So, both doors need open to run the Then commands. Is there a way to look at one sensor, see a trigger condition, then look at another sensor fo rthe second trigger condition, while the first sensor closes? Also, if one of the doors close before the 15 minute period, the entry light never turns off. Program returns to a false state. If Status 'Garage Door Sensor' in not On And Elk Zone 'Garage Door' is violated #elk zone 'garage door' is the door from garage to house Then Set Scene 'Entry Light' On Wait 15 Minutes Set Scene 'Entry Light' Off Else - No Action Thanks.

The manual method worked. Thanks for the help. The admin console is going to take some getting used to.

By "Query", I mean that in the administrative console, main tab, I selected the Query button. This evening when I get home, I will try "start linking" to have the ISY find the device on the network. If I try to manually add the insteon device, how do I know it's ID address? Should it be printed on the device? Regarding latest software version, I installed it last night.

Hello, I am new to this. I have an ISY994i and Powerlink Serial modem talking to two Insteon Dimmer Switched, 2477D, set up as 3 way switches. All is good. Can talk to the switches through My ISY and MobilLinc iPhone app. So I decided to add a Insteon 74551 Garage controller and status kit. I press and hold the button on the side of the garage controller until the LED blinks. Went back to the My ISY SW and querried the ISY and it does not get recognized. I thought it may be a proximity issue, though only about 10ft from the dimmer switched. I ran a short extension cord to a plug closer to the light dimmer switches. Still, not showing up in My ISY. Am I using the My ISY wrong? How do I trouble shoot this? Thanks, Doug
