Thanks for all the responses and help guys I had come to the conclusion of not wiring the load to the switches themselves. Ever since I purchased the Nest and found out it "Works With Nest" I became more interested in home automation. Being able to click one button and the temp turns down, lights turn off, sonos plays relaxing music, door locks, etc just fascinates me. I am really looking forward to getting my ISY. I had located a bunch of other products and setups like the "Vera" that was interested in but I think i'm going to go with Insteon and the ISY. I will be an addict in no time

I really big into home automation and really want to setup my house in a certain way. I currently use an iPhone to control Philips Hue bulbs in my house two insteon switches and my sonos speakers. I was thinking about getting an ISY994i to install into my system. I was wondering if their was a way in the ISY to make Insteon switches kind dummy switches. Like they will not switch load off or on ( i always want it on) They will trigger an action in the isy to run a scene or program. So when you hit the on button on insteon switch it will send a http request to the philips hue lights to turn on and to a certain scene rather than switch the circuit on or off. Also is there a way to integrate this into my Nest system or my Sonos system. When I go to bed it would be nice to have all the lights dim out and have the temp turn down and my sonos start playing chill relaxing music. Not sure if you guys will be able to help me or not but maybe you could point me in the right direction.
