Scene Status indicators of ISY 994i

[cjbartkowiak]

Hello-

 

I am curious about the Scene Status that the UDAjax interface displays. Basically displaying both the on and off buttons for anything except actual devices.

 

In addition to the Scene that I created there is an ISY and Auto DR Scene listed. I was able to remove the Auto DR scene per posting, viewtopic.php?f=27&t=11174.

 

Question, can I do the same for the displayed ISY Scene without adverse affects?

 

I understand that Insteon devices have no concept of Scene Status per post, viewtopic.php?f=27&t=12225, but I would think that the actual ISY would have concept of its own power state.

 

Just curious on why, the ISY shows up on the UDAjax interface and why it has no concept of its own power state. Or are the On / Off buttons simply ignored.

 

I was wondering if the Scene Status indicator could be the results of querying the controller state of the scene, or is this thinking to linear?

 

Example, my Christmas Lights scene uses a number of ApplianceLincs and OutletLincs and all controlled by a KeypadLinc Relay button D. When the Scene is ON, the respective button and all the Lincs show On. When the Scene is off, the opposite is true. If the Scene status would query the status of Keypad button or all the assigned devices, it would report being on or off and thus display the appropriate status indicator in the UDAjax display.

 

Thank you,

Craig.

Insteon has no concept of Scene status and the ISY has not invented one.

 

The "ISY" Scene, is that the element above all the device definitions when under the Admin Console? If so that is not to be deleted.

Thank you for your rsponse.

I wasn't going to remove the ISY object under Network in the Admin console. I was just wondering if I could put a "~" in front of it so it does not show up in the web ui.

 

Although I did figure out that the On and Off icons associated with the ISY Scene in the web ui is an All On / All Off switch.

 

Thank you.
