  1. Thanks. I have all my switches breadboarded on a piece of pine with a line cord so I can learn and test Insteaon before my new home theater construction is done. After I posted before, I unplugged the bread board (the really big air gap). I just plugged it in and of course it all worked perfectly. I was logging in to tell you not to bother answering but you beat me to it. Everything seems to be working. I will add some more IR controls then move on to programming my Pronto remote to control the installation. I appreciate the fast responses to my postings.
  2. Michel, I basically removed everything from my configuration and started over, so I have gotten past the request failed problem. Now I almost have the system working with one problem: First - I have a very simple system: 2 switchlink relays - one controlling the load - set as a 3 way switch 2 switchlink dimmers - one controlling the load - set as a three way dimmer An IRLink to control remotely the two lights. I am using the ISY-99i ("Computer") solely to set up the system, I do not plan to use it connected as a controller once the links are set up. I have the relay's properly set up. The leds on each switch track properly, but I am having a problem with the dimmers. They connected together in a scene both as controllers to link them. There is another scene with all four devices as responders and an IRLink button as controller to set a movie watching scene. In that one scene, the scene itself and the IRLink button set the dimmers 12% with 6.5 sec ramp. In every other instance of the dimmers, they are set to 97% and .5 sec. The problem is using the dimmers manually. Pressing the non-load dimmer to "on" causes it's LEDs to ramp quickly to full brightness but the load connected dimmer ramps slowly to 100%. Pressing the load connected dimmer "on" ramps it to 15% slowly, but ramps the leds on the other dimmer quickly to 100%. So the two dimmers do not seem to track brightness and speed - but they do if I control them from the computer. I have gone through each device in the tree and set the dimmers to 100% and .5 sec (except for the movie watching scene and the IRLink button). I have also had the computer rebuild all the device links using "Restore Devices" What else can I try to get the two dimmers in sync? I looked through the Wiki and forum but could not see anything I was doing wrong.
  3. I was trying to get the button on a 6 button dimmer to respond to an IRLink initiated scene (apparently this is not possible). In the process I ended up with two IRLink buttons in my scene as controllers. When I try to remove the one I do not need, I get a dialog box "Error Request Failed" How to I clean this up? David
