I have a few lights that are used in different scenes if you will. Here is an example. I have a very elaborate outdoor landscape lighting system. It is on from sunset to 10PM. Simple. I have a program for that. This Christmas I added my door lights to the scene. After the holiday, I want the door lights off unless needed. Can I have a folder that runs SWL 1, SWL 2, SWL 3 to do as I want in a folder that runs from 12/1 to 12/31. Then have SWL 2, SWL 3 run separately in another folder for the summer landscape? I assume that they can be used in separate folders, unless they contradict each other? Also, can a folder be set up for a period, say April 1 to October 25 of any year? I only see a date specific to a MMDDYYYY. Thanks.

Thx

I have many lights that I control at sunset to 10PM. I like to have the backup of making sure they off at other times. That said I have each on their own program, i.e., IF: item is off, THEN: turn item on. Vice, during the off times IF: item is on, THEN: turn item off... I'd like to simplify my housekeeping and include all the items in one program. How can you then write that each item is challenged? I thought about a folderthat says from sunset to 10PM these items run, but then I don't have the protection in the off hours???

How can you have two KPL buttons "H" in a scene that can be turned on/off from a program? Can't seem to get an option for on/off... Can this only be done with "A"?

MikeD: I assume this has to be done through variables? I have never written a variable, therefore not sure where to start. Is there any way we could talk for a few minutes? Your program sounds perfect. Tim PS PM if you have the time so I know how to contact you.

Still can't get the KPL light to change with status. Maybe I need a whole new program. Does anyone else have this function?

I just finished installing two BE469(s). The process went well, no issues. I'm somewhat stumped as to how to program the locks. ​Being as this is my first Zwave product, I installed two sirens (per previous poster). I note that the communication is much slower and at times ISY reports "failed communications". Is this the norm for Zwave? ​I'd like to control these with ISY and a KPL. What I'm looking for is the simple press of the KPL button to turn them both to lock, and turn the KPL light out to unlock. If they are locked (and the KPL ight is on) and someone unlocks manually, the light would go out. I could then either re-lock via the KPL or go looking why it unlocked and relock, thus turning the light back on. I would then also as a backup have a program to automatically turn the scene locked at 10pm and unlock at 7am (or someone could just unlock them manually). Any help getting this bulletproof would be appreciated. I've tried writing a program that did work to lock and unlock, but did not show proper status when manually unlocked. Any other cool things to do with them? Tim PS. The Zwave card was all of 5 minutes to install. The door locks were 30 minutes each. The only gripe I have is that the deadbolt plate on the BE469 has relieved corners, where the ones I removed Baldwin (Schlage) were perfectly square. I'll now have to fill in the corners with caulk or ???

In another life, I used Panasonic BB-HCM xxx cameras. A gentleman on the forum was VERY helpful in getting code to run the cameras from ISY through the cameras internal software. After working on it for years, I got it to send almost all the commands I needed for my setup. Fast forward to today, and I just finished a new house. I installed all Axis eqipmet in it. My question... Has anyone worked with Axis? Is there a code similar to Panasonic's to control things? Any help and input is much appreciated. aLf

Tried having a load on it, and wala, instant link! Guess it needs to have a purpose first?

I've tried several presses of the link set button. I've tried many outlets and there is no link to ISY.

New install... Old equipment. I have 4 old AL's that I used in the last house. I'm trying to get them to link with ISY through the "start linking" button. None of them will transmit and be seen by ISY??? I don't know (and its not written on them) what the address is, so I can't link via that? Any ideas. Some are very old V1.5, one is 3.1 and one is 4.5... aLf

I have the downloaded .jnlp, but it won't open... How do I open it to run?

I can get to ISY via the local URL, but I can't get the Java version of the controller to load.

I've had some Insteon in the past that changed status, i.e. off when on, vice. I'm just concerned that the outlet will random turn off. I know that these units have evolved, but I still have memories of them doing what they shouldn't!

Just setting up new computers and forgot how to get the desktop ISY Console (Java) to be an active icon?

Just put many of these new versions in the house. I just went to program the first and found it is now controllable bot top and bottom! That is great, but in this particular use, I have a clock pugged into the top (always hot), and the fluorescent light plugged into the lower (on at sunset - off at 10:30). The light is an easy program. But I obviously don't want the clock switched of accidentally... Is there a way to bullet-proof a program so as to make sure it is ALWAYS on?

Ok, maybe I just figured it out. My post (if read proper above), clearly stated SWL's. I just looked and what you've been trying to tell me looks to ONLY work on KPL's. Yikes! So in SH's infinite wisdom, There is no on/off adjustment for SWL's? So my original program is it? No way to combine on/off levels for the LED's? Brilliant. I can't believe someone else has not attacked this problem The LED's are blinding at night. My program works, but with all the switches, it will be a VERY cumbersome write. Any suggestions? aLf According to what I see, I'm running the latest FW? Am I not?

I know you don't believe me... My options are again, as follows: On Off Fast On Fast Off Query 1 (Beep Duration) thru 250 (Beep Duration) 1% (Backlight Level) thru 100% (Backlight Level) That is it, nothing below, above or anywhere else. I'm running 4.5.1 firm, with 4.4.6 UI. All switches are brand new. I'm at a loss. Can anyone intervene, as I'm missing something here... aLf

Yes, I did. It ends at 100% (backlight level). Nothing past that? I've spent hours on this!

I understand the premise. In ISY though I only see ON - OFF, FAST ON- OFF, QUERRY, BEEPS 1-100, BACKLIGHT 1-100. I have played with the backlight, but can only get X%(backlight level). How do I get the "ON x/ OFF x"?

Marcin: Could I hire you for 16 buttons? Could you PM me with specifics? aLf

I don't see the option for On and Off in the same call?

Thanks. I assume that that the On 2/ Off 1 does correlate to a %? If so, what is 2 and 1? aLf

Stu: I played with this and got it to work. What I've got now is LED's that go to 1% during the night. I'm sure someone else has done this before. Now If I can figure out how to get any SWL's to go to 100% backlight during those hours if they are on, then return to 1% when turned back off??? aLf

I searched the forum and there are 100's of returns. Can someone quickly suggest a good Schlage deadbolt that has a keypad and Insteon compatible? Thanks, aLf
