Can a program activate a scene?

Featured Replies

Yes. a program can turn a scene on or off or even modify the brightness level(s) of some or all devices in the scene.

 

Action, Insteon

 

Set 'Scene Name' [choose an action]

Does the scene have to include a controller? For example I want to add all my lights to a scene then have a program turn that scene on and off

If

     anything (e.g., device, schedule, etc.) or nothing*

 

Then

     Set 'scene' [choose something]

 

 

*if nothing, then you can use another program to run the "Then' part.

No sir.  All devices can be responder only if so desired.  The ISY's PLM is actually a controller but you don't see that in the device list.

 

Hope that helps.

I would even go so far as to say using scenes is preferable when switching multiple lights on or off because they will all respond simultaneously, versus a sequential shut down if you tell your program to shut them off one by one.

 

Unless you're going for that sequential look, of course.
