Thanks Rand That is exactly what I needed! Now I see I really need two programs, much more like my "Ocelot Programming". Yes, I just want to run on then off at set times, but still controlled by other switches

Does the ISY support EZX10RF? I have some legacy X10 controllers, easy to hook up with ISY and EZX10? Also, what is the general opinion on the EXx10RF, worth the money and works good? Thx Joe

I assume the ISY has no battery backup as I power cycled it and it had the wrong time. What is the proper way to handle power failures to get the programs running on schedule again? Joe

sorry for the basic question, but do I need the Else command in this program? Also, do I need to enable "run at start up"? on all of these type of programs? Goal is to have the fountain on for 2 1/2 hours If From 4:00:00PM To 6:30:00PM (same day) Then Set 'Fountain - Backyard' On Else Set 'Fountain - Backyard' Off

Hi Mike, Getting late, so may be not clearly undersatnding your comment. But, more simply, if I look at the RL status on Key # 4 I cannot toggle it from "on" to "off" or visa versa unless i totally remove the RL and do a reset. Then it works OK, but then if I include RL#4 in any scenes it all starts to act up again Tough to explain because I have made several changes and I know the key is in the details, but I again think the RL is defective, so I guess easiest is to see if the issue persists after I get the new one Thx Joe

I guess I dont have access to download that upgrade

Rand Thanks for you patience. I did this several times before and it works OK until I try to use key #4, then it all gets messed up, so I am back to thinking it is the RL. Right now I just make sure I do not use RL #4 and it seems to work OK, and I have an exchanged one coming. I may be wrong, as it is weird that it messes up other buttons when I use #4, but thatappear to be the case I will upgraded to software, I did not see that version in my ISY though (have on automatic update) Thx Joe

I am totally confused. OK so I was convinced RL #4 defective, then created I created a scene with RL#5 and KPL#5 with "Garage Lite" works fine. Then created another scene with "garage lite" and RL#3. Now the RL#5 key does not work EXACTLY like RL #4, same symptom This is so simple but it escaped me!

Hi, it appears to be 26. I did not think even that many, but I believe that 26 is pretty low?

Not at home now, but it should be very few as I have only been doing a few experimental scenes to prepare for conversion. Nevertheless I will try tonight and see. I have contacted SH since despite repeated attempts it appears Key #4 is a problem, no other key is an issue. They are sending a replacement Joe

I did that and RL #4 is the only key that acts erratically, sometimes working initially then permanently failing each time I link it again. I am now convinced i have a defective RL Thx Joe

sorry, after battery change other keys did work on KPL just took a few min., but #4 still not working

changed the batteries now nothing works on any of the keys. Need to relink every time change the batteries?

yes, I did that as per instructions, but I cannot get the RL to restore or remove from the scene. Other RL keys work fine, could the batteries in the RL be low?? I am totally stuck. Can I reset the RL and "re-add it?" not sure what to do

Wow, what a hassle. Created a scene with RL #4 and a Pool Lite in the ISY. Worked fine. Added a KPL #4 to the scene, works fine, but then RL #4 stopped working. Tried to restore the RL #4 and does not restore, get page after page of pop up progress bars. Tried to remove the scene, again many many minutes of pop up progress bars until fails. Wow, this thing is slow, goes off into the weeeds for 5 minutes, despite that now I do not know how to remove the RL #4 or the scene, wont let me do either Joe

Sub-Routine If by reboot you power cycle to reboot I just checked, mine does not even run then only if I force it to run. Ii says next schedule is 10:15p

Is there a way to program an X10 address into an insteon device from the ISY control interface as oppose to manually setting the Insteon device and the sending the x10 address 3 times?

got it! Thx

so, when I write a new program as below it does not start right away unless I force it to, so I assume it does not start until 5:30 the NEXT day? If From 5:30:00AM To 10:15:00PM (same day) Then Repeat Every 20 minutes Wait 1 second Send X10 'L2/On (3)' Wait 2 minutes Send X10 'L2/Off (11)' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

and I now see that more than one RL button cannot be added to the scene, so only one controller per scene? Joe

Thanks! I am sloooooowly getting it, but so far (when I got past the X10 dead PLM issue) I am pretty impressed with both Insteon and ISY THx Joe

experimenting /learning so lets say I am using and ISY and have two SLs and an RL, and create a scene. There appears to be three different ramp and brightness levels If I click on the SL I can set Brite and Ramp applied locally, so I guess this is when I physically press the SL? then I can set scene brite and ramp, but this one I don't totally understand, because... I can also set the RL key I have attached to that scene at yet another brite and ramp level, so does this mean that the levels are unique to that RL button? if I were to have and add a Keypadlinc, would that button I assigned to the scene also have a unique brite and ramp level assigned to it? so both the scene and any controller have separate levels? and the reason the scene has separate levels is if the scene is called from a program? If I have it correct then there are a lot of choices, a little confusing, but I guess more control is better Thx Joe

matapan In the disable/enable programs, is that status maintained during power cycle?

matapan yes, could do that but as in my orig. statement, I do not know when the time will be that the warmth of summer starts, so was willing to manually make the change, but by date does not cut is, as I also have to change some valves on the pool pump when I go into summer mode Thx Joe

Perfect! However the boot into false status concerns me a bit. On your second suggestion using disable/enable programs, is that status maintained during power cycle? Thx Joe
