Thanks for your reply. The problem seems to have cleared itself up.

When I try to access the Administrative Console, I no longer get a login prompt, it just seems to hang the browser for a bit. I can still access devices and programs, but can't get to the Console. Any ideas?

I was hoping the Mrs. would use her laptop, since her Kindle has no way of sending a signal. Ideally though, she would use the Pronto remote to trigger things via IR. In order to do that I need to find a way to get the IR signal from the bedroom to the den where the ISY resides next to the router.

I do understand the concept, and appreciate your coersion, but at this point the idea is to turn off that noisy fan in the bathroom from in bed. Oh look, the kids left the kitchen light on, we can take care of that. Right now, I'm just trying to provide basic on/off capabilities. Something that works and is easy for her to learn. I've had INSTEON for quite some time and have suffered through her dissatisfaction when things went awry. Paddles stopped working, surges after power failures blowing out 80 percent of the switches. The usual INSTEON headaches. I've used ECS and PowerHome both, but I thought this would be simpler for her. I'll play around some more and see what I can come up with. Thanks for your help, Howard

You're doing great. I was thinking more along the lines of allowing others in the house to have control of lighting, namely the boss, I mean wife. At present, I have no scenes and don't really want any. Surely this may change in the future. Scenes were automatically created just because of the link that existed in the switches themselves. These links were only there so that both switches would be in sync, and so that either switch could turn the lights on or off. this mimics the behaviour of non insteon switches. For the non-techie boss, the inclusion of scenes on the screen, and even the display of slave switches will be confusing. I was hoping that if she happened to click on the slave instead of the load bearing switch on the screen, it would have the same behavior, the light would turn on or off. Maybe there is another way of accomplishing this. Maybe I need to be looking at the GUI instead of the switch setup. Thoughts?

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm not sure I understand the need to control the switch and not the load, but I guess I have some learning to do here. Seems if you control the switch and it is a controller of the other switch, it should keep the two in sync. The whole idea of linking the switches is to keep them in sync. Howard

I just installed the ISY and entered all my insteon switches. I have 4 scenes that were automatically created for situations where I had two or more switches controlling one light. The problem I have is the second switch, which was discovered by reading the link in the first switch, does not function remotely. If I tell it to turn on, it will turn off the led light on the switch, but not turn on the light. Any help would be appreciated. Howard
