I am fairly new to Insteon so be understanding.

Manually I programmed my SL 2477D to control a KeypadLinc 6 button 2487S (coach light), a ToggleLinc 2466 (coach light), a SL 2487S (coach light) and a SL 2476S (flood light). This one switch is located where when company visits we pressed it to turn on coach lights, flood lights and garage lights all at once, then when they left it was nice to turn all off with one button.

Then I bought an ISY 994i and unlinked everything starting new.

I have control of the switches on my computers Console and thought I understood how to make a scene. I am struggling because only one of the SL for a coach light works.

Let me see if I explain this right (a Controller is physically hooked to the switch while a responder is just a slave.

I am not sure that I understand your configuration or question, but I will make one point...

 

If you want more than one switch to control a single light, make each switch a "controller" in the scene, regardless of which switch actually powers the light.

Do I need to create all new scenes and make everything controllers? I remember trying to get back to change or add and it would give me a pop up saying it was already in the scene (or something to this effect)

Thank you.

 

I was basically trying to explain I have a dining room switch that is hooked to nothing but is where we liked to turn on and off a total of 8 other switchlincs. I went the long way to say it simple.

I agree that I have not found a quick way to turn a responder into a controller. However, i dont think you have to create all new scenes.

 

Pull the responders out of the scene. Add them back as controllers.

 

Keep in mind that if the one switch is the only one that you want to control the other eight, only the one switch has to be a controller with the rest responders. If you want every switch to turn on all the others, make them all controllers. Think of switches as controller of a given scene. If a switch is controller, it will turn on/off the other devices in that scene. If a responder, it will not turn other devices in that scece on or off.
