Last column on right (ID) of the Summary screen has the Scene number.

MrWorf
What are you using to remove the link and from what device?
A Motion Sensor sleeps (being battery powered) so removing a link from a MS takes additional effort.
-
MrWorf
The 62 is an inactive record. The AA is valid for the SwitchLinc Relay device.
SmartLabs use to have a link that showed the possible values in bits 3 & 4. The SmartLabs page has changed making it more difficult to find the document. I may have a copy locally which I will post if available.

MrWorf
The AA flag is a valid active record. Bits 3 & 4 are now used and can change over time.
-
Suggest restoring PLM. There is a deleted record in the small portion displayed. Likely more deleted entries exist.
-
Ignore the difference. Bits 3 & 4 were added some time ago to control hops. Although physically different from an E2 link record, an EA and other values can exist in bits 3 & 4 .
-
Should be no problem turning On Zones, only one zone at time. What were you expecting to happen beside the zone showing On in Admin Console?
-
A State variable change in value will trigger a Program.
-
Is $iDay.xxxx an Integer or State variable?
Integer variables do not trigger a Program.

Thanks for the feedback. Great news.

"When I add the lines to the then statement I select adjust scene and select the scene then select the device inside the scene is this correct."
The Adjust Scene statement that specifies a Scene name as the first parameter is setting "Scene" level information. Controllers/Responders values being set are based on Scene which is not setting the correct values. The Adjust Scene is not setting the On Level values that affect when the switches are operated. That is why the devices are reacting to a 100% On Level rather the the desired 30% On Level.
The On Level values being set are based on the Scene Group number rather than the Group number of the individual switch. The Group number of each switch is 01. The Group number of the Scene depends on how many Scenes have been defined, always outside Group number of the switches.

The Motion Sensor is asleep because it is battery powered. Press Motion Sensor Set button for approx 4 seconds. Motion Sensor Red LED should now be blinking. Now the Motion Sensor is awake and the Options can be set for approx 4 minutes..

The ISY creates the two Insteon Scenes automatically when the following definition is used.
Stair Light - ISY Scene
Stair Upper Switch
Stair Lower Switch
Stair Upper Switch is Controller, Stair Lower Switch is Responder
Stair Lower Switch is Controller, Stair Upper Switch is Responder.
Suggest running Event Viewer at LEVEL 3. Run the Program Then clause that sets the 30% values in the switches. Post the event trace. Operate both switches with event 30% values set. Post event viewer trace.
-
If you want to debug your new approach please post the new Programs for evaluation.
-
All you need is the ISY Scene that I displayed before. This single definition provides all the Insteon Scenes needed.
Stair Light - ISY Scene
Stair Upper Switch
Stair Lower Switch
"I then ran the Then and in the ISY it showed it was set to 30% but when I tried the switch it goes to 100%."
This sounds like the ISY Scene is set to 30%. The ISY Scene is not being used in this scenario. The test4 Program I posted before sets Stair Upper Switch and Stair Lower Switch to 30% .
test4 - [iD 0049][Parent 0001]
If
From 9:00:00PM
To 6:00:00AM (next day)
Then
In Scene 'Stair Upper Switch' Set 'Stair Upper Switch' 30% (On Level)
In Scene 'Stair Upper Switch' Set 'Stair Lower Switch' 30% (On Level)
In Scene 'Stair Lower Switch' Set 'Stair Upper Switch' 30% (On Level)
In Scene 'Stair Lower Switch' Set 'Stair Lower Switch' 30% (On Level)
Else
In Scene 'Stair Upper Switch' Set 'Stair Upper Switch' 100% (On Level)
In Scene 'Stair Upper Switch' Set 'Stair Lower Switch' 100% (On Level)
In Scene 'Stair Lower Switch' Set 'Stair Upper Switch' 100% (On Level)
In Scene 'Stair Lower Switch' Set 'Stair Lower Switch' 100% (On Level)
You need to run the Then of the above Program to set the switch values to 30% rather than setting the ISY Scene to 30%.
-
No new Scenes should be required. I'm assuming there is an ISY Scene with two switches.
Stair Light - ISY Scene
Stair Upper Switch
Stair Lower Switch
The above definition represents three Insteon Scenes which operate independently. The Stair Light ISY Scene is not used in the description initially posted.
Stair Upper Switch Insteon Scene is used when Stair Upper Switch is operated. The Stair Lower Switch is a Responder.
Stair Lower Switch Insteon Scene is used when Stair Lower Switch is operated. The Stair Upper Switch is a Responder.
test4 Program runs the Then clause at 9 PM, the Else clause at 6 AM. To test right click test4 Program, select run then to set the 30% values. Now operating the two switches should produce the 30% result.
-
The changes made by test4 do not affect what happens when the switches are operated.

That is correct, the Motion Sensor Low Bat node only sends an On when battery reaches a low point. It does not not send an Off when battery replaced. The Motion Sensor would have to save some permanent indicator that an On was sent which would survive a power loss when new battery installed.
-
Run an Event Viewer at LEVEL 3 and Query Low Bat node You should see the following trace. The trace shows Low Bat node being turned Off. No actual communication with Motion Sensor occurs because it is asleep.

Buttons Grouping should not be used with ISY.
-
There is either a Scene being used by the 8 button which sets the On Level of the other KPL buttons to 0% On (Off), or there is a Program that is turning Off the other buttons. KPL does not automatically turn Off other buttons.
-
I hope the 'fix' was not to disable the 3 AM Query. That approach is ignoring the actual problem.

If you have the time can you explain the 'fix'. I've read your posts which explain aspects of ISY processing but I did not see an actual fix. Others may benefit from how this was solved. Thanks.
-
As an FYI, all Insteon devices (except PLM) use Scenes for communicating with other devices.
Sorry, I cannot provide functional capability for 5.x Alpha.
EZIO8SA setup

The EZIO8SA connects to the Insteon network using its own PLM. Perhaps you are seeing what would be comm to its own PLM.
