Ach du lieber! That is a pain.

I've tried deleting some test programs, either individually or by folder, and they appear to go away. But when I log back it to the ISY, the programs are back. What's going on?

FYI - this is now resolved for me. And it was odd. Background - I just rebuild my whole Insteon network. I had being using HouseLinc for many years, crashed and burned my whole network to the ground too many times - OK maybe that's a little hyperbolic. But I finally got around to using ISY. I added all the devices using the default "Remove existing links", so everything should be cleared. My eventual solution was to factory-reset the KeypadLinc and do a Restore Device. Now it works like it should. There must have been some odd setting in the KPL that wasn't completely cleared by the "Remove existing links". For remotes, my normal process was to factory-reset them before adding them (because they were all program-locked and wouldn't go into linking mode otherwise). But I didn't think I needed to factory-reset hardwired devices. Geez. Side note: I'd tried moving from HouseLinc to the PC version of ISY many years ago, but the fonts were too small to read and the color scheme was even worse. Luckily they've fixed this a bit, but the UI could still use a lot of work. They need to hire or at least consult with a UI expert. Programmers should never be allowed to design UIs (FYI I am a programmer...)

They Family Room button never turns off.

I have a KeypadLinc set as six buttons. The ON/OFF button controls some under-cabinet lights in the kitchen, the other four buttons are Non-Toggle-Off and they control scenes that turn off various parts of the house. The Living Room, Bedrooms, and Outside buttons work fine -- the rooms go dark and the indicator blinks and turns off. However, the Family Room button does not quite work -- the room goes dark, but the indicator does NOT blink and it stays on. Admin Console says the button is Off. Admin Console also says the button is controller and responded to the Family Room Off scene. The only consideration is that the Family Room Off scene turns off the kitchen as well, including this KeypadLinc's ON/OFF button. Also, for full disclosure, the KPL has no load, the ON/OFF button controls a scene to turn some LampLincs on and off. Is this known behavior? Or maybe the KPL is broken? I had the same issue in HouseLinc, but since I've moved to ISY I had to rebuild the network from scratch - ouch. Or maybe I should say that HouseLinc got corrupted too many times.

Are there any keyboard shortcuts in ISY? The only ones I can find are for the main menu (like ALT+F). No shortcuts makes it hard to navigate in ISY. There should be shortcut keys all or common tasks. Like CTRL+N to open the Notes for a device. Or at least have the context pop-up menu have accelerators, like the N in Notes. Or am I missing something? -- Derek

Well B was clearly a controller - it was red. But I deleted it and re-added it and now it works. Odd. Thanks!

I have two dimmer switches ( A and B ) that are in a scene as controllers. Each controls a light. I would expect that they where in a virtual three-way-switch scenario. Turning A on or off turns B on or off. However, turning B on or off has no effect on A. Do I need to do something like have two scenes? One where A is the controller and B is the responder and other where B is the controller and A is the responder? But it feels like that can't be right... Also, there is a button on a Mini Remote that controls the scene as well. -- Derek
