sceaton Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 When making my 3 way circuit scenes (one for each member of my 3-way virtual circuit) my list of scenes is getting ... messy. It would be nice to "group" all of my 3-way scenes into a "folder" so that I can zip them up in the tree and get them out of the way. Maybe just use the windows vernacular and say "move to folder..." (not add to folder since you'll be REMOVING it from it's current root folder) So on the main tab, there can be a new button to create a folder (just like creating a scene) then right click a scene (or a selection of multiple scenes) and select "move to folder..." A dialog appears with the list of available folders; select the appropriate one and click "move" or "cancel" if you change your mind. this doesn't affect functionality, but I'd find it helpful.

I would second this. In my case, though, I could have a folder for each room in my house, and in each folder, I could have the scenes that affect the devices in that room. B. J. Link to comment
Mark Sanctuary Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 For a three way circuit you should only have one scene that has all the devices in it as "controllers" so I am not sure why you have multiple scenes to folder up unless you’re talking about more than one three way circuit. Three Way Scene _____ Switch 1: Controller _____ Switch 2: Controller _____ Switch 3: Controller The Network tree on the "Main tab" has been requested to be improved (but lets make this the offical post for the request because it's mashed in to one big requests post) to be the same as the tree widget in the programs area. It just may be out a release or two. Michel what’s your say on this? + Network + My Lighting ______+ Living Room ____________Main Light ____________Switched Outlet ____________Brass Lamp ______+ Family Room ____________Switched Outlet __________+ Keypad Main Lights ________________A: Family Room Evening ________________B: Family Room Movie Time ________________C: Family Room Off ________________D: All Off ______+ Bedroom Room ____________Main Light ____________Switched Outlet ____________Bed Lamp __________+ Bedroom Bath ________________Light ________________Fan + My Scenes ______+ Family Room Evening Scene ______+ Family Room Movie Time Scene ______+ Family Room Off Scene ______+ All Off Scene Link to comment

Indeed, B.J. straightened me out on this one. It would still be nice to organize the tree, just as you describe, except for the scenes as well. Link to comment

Sub-Routine Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I thought is was recommended to add all the responders first. That seems logical to me. Set up the basic scene and then as you add controllers you can copy and modify the basic scene. Adding controllers takes the most time. Modifying any scene is quick. I did the same thing (create new scenes for each controller) when I started with the ISY as well I very much enjoy the way it is implemented now. Rand Link to comment
