OK guys, I have multiple rooms with your standard can lights with incandescent bulbs, but also a fan (fanlinc) with LED light that does not like to dim too much. My question.The can lights + the LED fan light is on a single scene with dimmer switch for each room. Would it be possible to have the LED turn off for anything below 100% so if I want to dim my lights the LED turn off and the can lights dim? Thanks

Here is one that I use to just disable it while i am working in the basement: Copied from another post Then the Override program: Pendants Override- If Control 'Kitchen / Kitchen Pendants' is switched On And Control 'Kitchen / Kitchen Pendants' is not switched Off Then Disable Program 'Pendants Timer' Else Enable Program 'Pendants Timer' Hope this helps.

Not yet but I had one hell of a time getting my first one to connect since my router is both 2.4/5 Ghz I have the same SIID and login to keep things simple but apparently the DOT's don't like that at all... Had to label each SIID different with its own password.

Ok so it should be more like this... DOT #1 Living/Kitchen area Portal acct #1 Amazon acct #1 DOT #2 Living/Kitchen area Portal acct #1 Amazon acct #1 DOT #3 Bedroom #1 Portal sub acct #2 Amazon acct #2 DOT #4 Bedroom #2 Portal sub acct #3 Amazon acct #3 DOT #5 Bedroom #3 Portal sub acct #4 Amazon acct #4 DOT #6 Bedroom #4 Portal sub acct #5 Amazon acct #5 That sucks about the prime music

OK just so I understand while I am setting up my Dot's I will have 6 total. 4 of them I want to be able to use the same wake but be zone specific meaning same command but the closest one will respond with just that lights-Basically those will be in the individual bedrooms. The other 2 will have the same wake word as the other 4 but be in the living/kitchen area and they can control the same lights..So is this the correct way below, all on one Amazon acct. And I will have to program the spoken words for each portal acct, correct? DOT #1 Living/Kitchen area Portal acct #1 DOT #2 Living/Kitchen area Portal acct #1 DOT #3 Bedroom #1 Portal sub acct #2 DOT #4 Bedroom #2 Portal sub acct #3 DOT #5 Bedroom #3 Portal sub acct #4 DOT #6 Bedroom #4 Portal sub acct #5

Just bought these for work but they have a output and relays i am sure you can tie to an iolinc i think and the range is about 1/2 mile and you can use the magnetic switch... https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OMOKADW/ref=sxts2?ie=UTF8&qid=1476926179&sr=2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65

OK so who is getting excited for the UPS man tomorrow! I have six coming, still trying to figure out some nice speakers for each room not wanted to spend more than a $100 per setup and the kids's room substantially less! I have been looking at these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0109GTXWA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=5OFQ5GJI1CH&coliid=I1JRFX2E108ZX1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BXF5HQ8/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=35BUGSU2D4F93&coliid=I3OJCSC0AFP3DK&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016P9HJIA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=5OFQ5GJI1CH&coliid=IHDYAR74A7WLK https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EZ9XKCM/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=5OFQ5GJI1CH&coliid=I3PUJ2NII43V04&th=1 Besides full sound systems what do you guys use? Also with not having setup anything with Echo, has a consensus been reached how these will have to be set up? If I want to use the same wake word for them all( since ESP is enabled) but also the same commands-Meaning if I say turn off lights I want it to turn off the lights in that room the echo is located in only.

I like to be the rebel, I use a single button as well, but Low->Med->Hi->Off

That's too bad figured that would work nice to figure out what speed. I just added to turn the keypad light off: Master Fan Off - [iD 0013][Parent 0014] If Control 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' is switched On And Status 'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' is High Then Set 'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' Off Set 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

OK I gave the program below a shot and it works, but like you said you get that 100% flash before the program runs, I had to turn up my ramp rate all the way to 4sec which is not a big deal at night but during the day the wife will kill me if she has to wait 4sec to see: Night Lights - [iD 000E][Parent 000D] If From 10:30:00PM To 6:00:00AM (next day) And Control 'MasterBath Toilet Light' is switched On Then Set 'MasterBath Toilet Light' 40% Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I tried the reverse as well setting the local on at 20% and have the program run at 100% during the day but I still get the dim-bright flash. So basically I need to add a controller to make this work, correct? Can I use a KPL button, and how would I do that? Thanks

OK I am looking for something very similar 1 button push to cycle thru my fanlinc speeds. I created 1 scene that has the fanlinc(responder) and Keypad A(Controller. No load is wired) Keypad button is set to Non toggle ON. With the following programs: Master Fan Low - [iD 0010][Parent 0014] If Control 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' is switched On And Status 'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' is Off Then Set 'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' Low Wait 1 second Set 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' 2 (Beep Duration) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') _____________ Master Fan Med - [iD 0011][Parent 0014] If Control 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' is switched On And Status 'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' is Low Then Set 'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' Med Wait 1 second Set 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' 2 (Beep Duration) Wait 1 second Set 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' 2 (Beep Duration) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') _____________________ Master Fan Hi - [iD 0012][Parent 0014] If Control 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' is switched On And Status 'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' is Med Then Set 'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' High Wait 1 second Set 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' 2 (Beep Duration) Wait 1 second Set 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' 2 (Beep Duration) Wait 1 second Set 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' 2 (Beep Duration) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ______________________ Master Fan Off - [iD 0013][Parent 0014] If Control 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' is switched On And Status 'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' is High Then Set 'MasterBedroom Fan-Motor' Off Wait 1 second Set 'MasterBedroom KeypadA' 5 (Beep Duration) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ____________________ Couple issues, the fan speeds work when I cycle thru them, but the button LED blinks 3 times and no beeping sounds. I would like to have the beep so I know what speed is selected. Also the button LED does not turn off with the OFF program... Thanks

Yes I am very disappointed. My assumption was that I can just write a program that will run using a schedule without the need to turn a scene on manually, I will give your programs a shot using scenes and report back. Thanks

So if I understand correctly I would had my switchlinc twice-one for controller and one for responder, bc when I push the button(controller) it will respond with the dimmer in the same switch? Since I am not using a MS just the switch that I want to turn on. Or am I not following? If that is the case could you give me an program example for using a single dimmer switch that is wired to the load to have a different On-Level during certain times. Thanks

So when I create a scene and add a device I add it twice? Once as a controller and once as a responder?

OK guys my intention is not to hijack this thread but since I am having the same issue figured we keep this discussion going unless you prefer I start a topic. From searching seems like my program should work but its not. I created a scene with 3 light switches, I have tried adding them all as controllers and responders but its not working, they still come on at 100%: Night Lights - [iD 000E][Parent 000D] If From 10:30:00PM To 6:00:00AM (next day) Then In Scene 'MasterBath NightLight' Set 'MasterBath Toilet Light' 25% (On Level) In Scene 'MasterBath NightLight' Set 'Master Bath lights' 25% (On Level) In Scene 'MasterBath NightLight' Set 'Master Bath Accent Lights' 25% (On Level) Else In Scene 'MasterBath NightLight' Set 'Master Bath Accent Lights' 100% (On Level) In Scene 'MasterBath NightLight' Set 'Master Bath lights' 100% (On Level) In Scene 'MasterBath NightLight' Set 'MasterBath Toilet Light' 100% (On Level)

OK I think what I have is working! Girls On - [iD 0009][Parent 000B] If Status 'Basement Shower' is 25% And Status 'Basement Motion-Dusk.Dawn-Sen' is On Then Run Program 'Motion' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Motion - [iD 000C][Parent 000B] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Stairs Stairs 3-way' 25% Set 'Stairs Main Area' 10% Wait 1 minute and 30 seconds Set Scene '3-Way Switches / Basement Main' Fade Down Set Scene '3-Way Switches / Stairs' Fade Down Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

1. See that is what I read about the scenes and figured I would have the program check the status of that light (25%) that way it would know if that scene is on. Or is there a better way to check the status? 2. The only reason I am using Mobilinc is to minimize confusion with the family we just build the house and did everything Insteon, My kids are still too short to really push the buttons perfect-There is a lot of double tapping and holding of buttons. So I cant really use fast on or something simple, unless you have some other ideas that is not schedule based. 3. Not familiar with "MS" and only the hallway lights should be activated with the motion and turn off after a couple minutes. Was curious why or what is the best way to to turn on a scene at a certain % on level. I have a couple virtual 3-way scenes with the hallway lights but when I select the scene I do not have the option to pick a % for the on level (Ok I just checked something else and for a couple virtual 3 way scenes I can under actions-devices select % but some scenes I cannot? The only difference is the ones I cant has a fanlinc as part of the scene.) . So then I just select a device in that scene and I can set the % on-level but then the 3-way scene is out of sync? 4. There are 2x 3-way scenes that I would like to turn on at 25% when motion is detected. 5. Also I checked my motion sensor in Isy and there are 3 options: (Basement Motion.Dusk.Dawn-Sen) (Basement Motion.Dusk.Dawn-Dus) (Basement Motion.Dusk.Dawn-Low) Thanks again

I will give that a shot thanks. Just realized that I used the wrong motion trigger. What I need from the program: I turn on a scene using mobilinc to turn on two lights at 25% If the scene is on- I want more lights to turn on for a couple minutes and turn off if no motion is detected. I only want the motion sensor to work if the scene for the 2 lights at 25% is on- not on a schedule. That way when I put my kids to bed I turn on the scene that gives some some light (25%) incase they want to go to the bathroom, but if they want to go upstairs (dark) they will enter the hallway where the motion sensor is and turn some lights on for them towards our bedroom but only for a couple minutes then turns off. The second program is just to cancel the scene (25% lights) that I turned on the night before to activate the motion sensor. Thanks again

Great thanks, but I am new to this so the points you made, does not really mean something to me.

OK guys seems like I cant even write a simple program... I moved my kids to the basement and set up a motion sensor. So I have a scene that sets the bathroom and hallway light to ~20% (I trigger the scene with mobilinc) to act as a nightlight. Figured the only way I can have ISY know the scene is active is to check the status of that light. Once the scene is on I want the motion sensor to be "active" so once the walk in the hallway it would trigger another couple lights on the way to our room. And turn the same lights off again after 1m30sec. Everything works great except the motion sensor still kills the lights even if the "scene" is not active( the basement shower 25%)Meaning during the day the lights still shut off. And the what is the best way to cancel I scene? Below are the 2 programs I use at this moment. Girls On - [iD 0009][Parent 000B] If -( | Status 'Basement Shower' is 25% | And Status 'Basement Motion-Dusk.Dawn-Sen' is On -) Then Set 'Stairs Main Area' 20% Set 'Front Door Stairs' 25% Wait 1 minute and 30 seconds Else Set 'Front Door Stairs' Fade Down Set 'Stairs Main Area' Fade Down Girls Off - [iD 000A][Parent 000B] If Time is Sunrise - 10 minutes Then Set 'Basement Shower' Off Set 'Basement Hallway' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Well not sure why I thought that but then the external temp probe should be least invasive way to try I know this is not pretty but gives you an idea

GaryFunk, have you thought about using an external temp sensor on the outside of the pex for each hot waterline, set some parameters to arm a standard solenoid valve like: http://store.flw.com/products/asco-series-8262-2-way-solenoid-valve-8262h002-120-60-110-50.html?gclid=CITi1KKxxM8CFQ6EaQodGIYCZg and start a timer once its reach to slowly close the valve until only cold remains, that way if it shuts off the water and keeps the cold going it will remind them to still shut of the valves and not not leave when the valves are on?

I installed one in my new construction but have not gotten around to wire it up yet. Maybe the next week or so.

Guys quick question on the new Beacon DOT that is available on Kickstarter... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1867163750/dot-the-physical-push-notification?ref=profile_starred This should with the ISY994i correct? Or do you only use beacons with a third party app like Mobilinc? Sorry not familiar with the beacons but it seems on the cheaper side and since I already pre-ordered the echo dot 6 pack what is another couple Dots right...My wife might divorce me with all the money that is going into this automation but hey maybe this might just replace her!

What do you use for valve control in your tub? I have the MOEN vertical spa that has an RF remote but haven't figured out how to incorporate that with my HA
