I created a Scene in the ISY994i-ZW and put the AEOTEC micro dimmer with the Linear WTOOZ wall switch in. I can control the devices in the control panel but NOT from the switch itself. What am I missing? Thanks!

ISY scenes are for Insteon devices only. They're part of the Insteon protocol. If you want to control Z-Wave devices, then you'll need to use a program. BTW, not all Z-Wave devices report their status to the ISY. Those that don't can't be program triggers.

Instant Status is definitely an issue, but Scenes do work for Zwave.

But not yet for the ISY. I believe scene support for Z-Wave is coming on 5.0.5.

One way to make a scene is to lay on the ground and flop like a fish.

 

One thing I do is create a scene that runs a program.

Did I miss something?

 

Where does a program get entered into the scene?

Hummm.... Maybe I'm thinking of something else....

 

I think I created scene with a KPL button then added the control of the button to a program that runs a program.

 

Time for another drink.

Somethings fishy. Perhaps you created a program that runs a scene.

I like the title of this forum "How to make a scene"........ Some of our spouses are good at it.

Wait a minute! "Some of our spouses"?

 

How many do you have?  Most of us only have our wife and former sweetheart.

Sorry Paul, just wanted to add a lighter note. Hope I did not offend anyone.

No, no it was a joke as well ,,, Larry said us, so I assumed there was more than one in there

I think we are becoming guilty of breaking the golden chat rule. Mark your humour.

 

I have seen too many misunderstandings online. This isn't funny.

 

Asbril: Your comment was funny and we knew it, but you opened a "can of worms".

 

 

Are we creating a scene, now?

How can I create a Scene (or a Program) whereby a specific light is On at 50%  at specific time and 100% at another time ?

You can't do that with a scene. You need to create a program that controls the On-level of the device within the scene based on schedules.

I get it..... Many thanks.  

Please allow me to ask another question....  I installed a fan switch ( F ) behind my bed and I installed an ON/OFF switch ( S ) at the entrance of my bedroom, without a connected load. I  created a program that if S in ON, then F goes ON to 50 % and if S is OFF then S goes Fast Off. Question : In the program, does it make a difference if I choose S  in IF as "Control"  or  "Status"  ?

Probably not for a two state only, system = 50% and Off.

 

When S is on and for some reason you want to switch it on again, ISY will NOT show a change in the status from the dimmer and not trigger the program. The status didn't change.

 

When S is on and for some reason you want to switch it on again, ISY WILL show a change in the control / switched  from the paddle and trigger the program again.

 

eg: You use control/switched and as a backup you turn the fan on 50% for 1 hour and then turn it off again. 

Another tap up on the paddle can restart the program and timer (switched on)

Whereas no status of the dimmer can change as it is already On. (status On)

 

Control / switched from the paddle could be used for a four stage fan speed program system to roll through off, low, med, high, or operate something else if the fan is already on...etc..etc..

"Control" requires that the device be manually operated. Each time a command is sent, the program will trigger. So, if On is the trigger, the program will run each time On is pressed.

 

"Status" will trigger each time the command changes to the desired state. The change can be manual or via a scene. If On is the trigger, then the program will run each time the state changes to On. If On is sent more than once, the program will run only the first time because the state didn't change.

Vey much appreciated. Maybe one day you can explain to me how to use Variables. For whatever reason I do not understand the concept or how to program Variables. I have read the description in Wiki, but I just don't get it.
