Hello again, Thank you both. lgilsenberg, I have already done all this since as I mentioned I see my devices in the "do this action" section. But I still followed your advice and followed your procedure again, but without success. oberkc, I think you're right about the sensors because I tested all the "Alexa categories" using my dining room light by simulating that it was a switch, fan, motion detector etc. I'm sure you're right about the sensors. And the only ones that made my dining room light appear in the "when it happens" section was when I said it was a motion sensor or a contact sensor. Unfortunately I can't use these types for my light because anyway when you arrive in the routine, although it is detected, it gives me possible actions that are not compatible with my light, like what to do if a movement is detected. So I think I should resign myself to using variables. However, this is the area of my isy that I understand the least. It would have been great if switches and lights were accepted in the "when it happens" section. I hope an update will fix that. Thanks again for your help. DjBoomBoX

Hello, Thank you for this help. Maybe you would have an answer for me, in the routines, in the "when it happens" section the only option I have is to choose a motion sensor. However in the "do this action" section then there are all my insteon switches, my scenes etc.. How can i see my switches in the "When it happens" section? Thanks again :-) Dj BoomBoX

Hi Andy I went to my sister's house and i check what you said. "under Settings, I have a section called PTZ. Under PTZ there is a startup option. Click to bring up the startup options and select "Disable StartUp"" With this you are right on ! Thank you very much ! You don't know but you make my day DjBoomBoX

Hi Andy She does not have an Isy994i. but good to know if i install one in her house later Thank you again DjBoomBoX

Hi ! Andy: ok i will try this when I reinstall them to her house and you know Here. Stusview: yes there is a problem because she would only be record her house when she go out and I she can left anytime. So that way is a very quick way to start the camera just by hit a button to start them when she quit. I will do the Andy's suggestion as soon as I will visit her. Thank you

Hi gang ! I installed at my sister's house 2 camera insteon 75790 that i connect to 2 insteon outlet. When she leave her house she press on a switch near the door. That give power to those outlet and those one start cameras. She like that setup because she only use canera when she is not home. The problem is when you power on those camera the head moving from left to right and from bottom to top before it will take is position. It is a problem because after 3 month of start and stop those camera both have broken in the same week and have the same problem. Now when you powered them on they do the move from left ro right and after when they do the move from bottom to top they stuck there and they are record rhe roof. I explain that to my provider and because they have the same age, same use time and same problem he accept to exchange those camera to 2 new 75790. He was kind because they were not warranty at this time (it took a while before install them but i use it only 3 months) So my question is before i reinstall those one i would like to desactivate the head moving when you plug them for always. Because i am sure those one will also dead in 3 months if i keep that activate. I check but i cannot find any way to desactivate that. Anybody knows how to ? Thank you for you time. It is appreciate

Hi Kevin: ok îll try this. Stusview: like i said earlier, only part of the program. In that case the door lock is not working in the first program (was ok before i update a program for my water leak sensor that is completely not related to that one) and it is ok on the second program. As you can see the command for locking the door is the same on both program and the rest of the program that won't work for locking the door, is working well. Thank you

Hi Ok. Heres one example of what is describe above. For locking my door: This one work: Bonne nuit - [iD 0008][Parent 0026] If Control 'Lum. / Lum. int. / Keypad palier B (Bonne nuit)' is switched On Or Control 'Telec. chambre des maitres / Telec. A1- D' is switched On Or Control 'Telec. chambre des maitres / Telec. A2 - D' is switched On Then Set 'Porte / Porte avant - On' Lock Door Wait 1 minute Set Scene 'Lum. / Lum. int. / Lumieres interieures' Off Set 'Lum. / Lum. int. / Lum. palier (cuisine)' Off Set 'Lum. / Lum. int. / Lum. salon (palier)' Off Set Scene 'Keypad palier B (Bonne nuit)' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ And this one doesn't work: Sortie - [iD 0021][Parent 001B] If Control 'Entree - Sortie / Keypad palier A25 (Sortie)' is switched On Then Set Scene 'Entree - Sortie / Keypad palier A22 (Entree)' Off Run Program 'entree' (Else Path) Wait 1 minute Set Scene 'Lum. / Lum. int. / Lumieres interieures' Off Set 'Lum. / Lum. int. / Lum. palier (cuisine)' Off Set 'Lum. / Lum. int. / Lum. salon (palier)' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Porte / Porte avant - On' Lock Door Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Voilà !

Hi "ISY" friends I have a problem with the "program" part of my isy994i. This happen couple time since i have my system (around 1 year) but I thought i was the wrongdoer, but now I know it is not me. When I update a program ans save it, for any reason, one or many part in one program or in many programs that are not link with my change for any reason, stop working partially or totally. EG: Yesterday, I update my leak sensor program (add to make 3 lights flash 3 times when I am in my house). So I add those lines to an existing program. I saved it. I tested it (that program work well before the add and also with the new add) because I now it happen, I decide to test few others programs to make sure they are still working well. I test the program that make my light goes off and my door lock when I quit the house. (as you can see no link with my leak sensor). It close my light but won't lock my door anymore. I have another program that I call when I go to bed. This one close my lights and lock my door. (I know it does the same as the other one that is mention above but I need it ...) And that program close my light and still lock my door. I test another program. When I come home 2 lights in a scene open when it is the night. 1 of those light will close after 5 minutes. But now, after my update of my leak sensor program, it won't close the light after 5 minutes but the rest of the program is ok ! Another program (let name it "A") suppose to run the "else" part of another program (let name it "B"). By this I should see the other program ( in "False" status. So that part of the program not work in the "A" program. BUT if I right click on the program ( and choose "run else" the status change of the program ( In the past and also today I did those things (below) with sometime success (in part) sometimes it change nothing: - Reboot Isy - Try to copy the program, delete the old one and rename the copy same as the original. - Try to remove the line in the program, update, save it and recreate the line. I am not feel secure with that system because each time I touch something it as a possibility to destroy totally or in part others stuffs. Have you seen that in your "isy" life ? Thank you guys DjBoomBoX

"Right click on the low battery node in the device tree and select query. It should be set to Off" Hi Larryllix It is working ! Thank you very much for your time DjBoomBoX

Hi Larryllix, For the battery, basicly what i understand is better to forget that because it is not reliable. I will listen to you ! For the dust/dawn (7 push): The status was empty and never appear. So like i said, 30 minutes after it appear by itself. So tomorrow what i'm gonna do, by the day, i'm gonna put it to a dark place and i will push the button 7 time to see if it is refresh fast in my isy. So other news will come tomorrow ! Thank's again ! DjBoomBoX

Hi

Hi Ok i will test it tomorrow Thank's

Hi, If i understand properly ... I hold the set button for 5 sec. Then the MS light is flashing.(linking mode) The second time i press it it flash quicker. (i don't know why) so i press 6 times again (to make 7 push in total ) and all those push make my sensor activity "ON"-"OFF"-"ON"-"OFF"-"ON"-"OFF" (so my light turn on and off several time. But my dusk dawn current state is still empty in my isy994i for my MS. Also, it seems it is not send the new darkness sensitivity information to the MS. It was at 128 in the isy994i and i change it to 35 by the time i am in linking mode. and nothing seems to be affect. I know "1" is for if i want my light open when it is more dark and "255" open the light when it is more lighty. So I tested those 2 differents setup and leave them for 2 hour each time and it doesn not make any different. All the time my light is open when i pass in front of the MS. Thank you for your assistance

Hi Thank's guys ! I begun by testing the solution of larrylix and for me that doesn't work. After, i tested the solution of stusviews and for me that one works ! The thing that i notice when i did that is, because i move the motion sensor to put it in link mode it goes to "ON" (it is normal). After i link it, it does not going to "OFF" after 1 minute (i set the timeout to 1 minute. To fix that, after i put it to is own place i just pass in front of it and the timeout counter begin and after that minute it goes off. For me it is ok to live with that. it is not a big issue. I just wrote it here for make sure if someone read it in the future for the same problem, he will see that will occur. Now i will try to adjust the darkness !!! Thank you for your time. You are an unestimate ressource of knowledge guys Dj BoomBoX So now i will try to adjust properly the darkness level because
