smokegrub Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 I have about 15 SwitchLinc/ToggleLincs controlling Christmas lights. I plan to remove these devices from the outlets following the holidays. The devices are included in 3 scenes and 2 programs. When I remove these devices from the outlets should I also erase them from the ISY along with their scenes and programs? I hate to do that because of the lost work.
Techman Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 If you're going to use them again next year why not disable the devices in the ISY then unplug them, The scenes and programs would remain intact.
bleepblorp Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 I agree that disabling is the best method for programs like this. I wish there were a way to conveniently 'disable' ISY from querying the specific devices as well so as to avoid getting the series of pop-up messages about device not found. Is there a better practice here than just ignoring the pop-ups for items you knowingly removed? Just curious.

It will prevent it from being queried and complained about while it is not present on the network. -Xathros
Jimbo.Automates Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 For me, disabling the device stops the ISY from querying them. Also for programs I just create an s.Christmas variable which changes how my programs work when the Christmas lights are all plugged in. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

A happy idiot though! Thanks for setting me straight,all!
