Hi everyone, is there a way to configure an Insteon ISY994i to turn on all lights from a single button or command, leave them on for 15 minutes and then tell all the devices to resume their normal program mode (some are on and some are off depending on what time it is)?

Thanks, Pat

I do not recall a "resume" type of command.  While I imagine creative programming techniques could achieve your goal, I am not sure that there is a canned command for this.

Without thinking too much about this, I wonder if you could insert a condition in your programs which would trigger them at the conclusion of your 15-minute wait period. 

What I imagine might be even harder would be to resume prior status, regardless of whether the result of a program, or manual control.

Hey Pat

Getting them all on 100% is easy,

• create a scene, include all of the lights as responders and set them to 100%.
• To turn them all on, make the switch you want to activate them a controller in for the scene, and turn it on

Its potentially a little trickier going back.

1. Are the lights all at certain levels at certain/different time periods?
2. Or, could they be at random levels because the occupants turned them on or off independently?

If its 1,  it could be accomplished with a few programs and scenes by

• creating individual scenes for each time period,
• writing programs that respond to the light being turned on and being in that time period
• .... then counting down and then turning the specific scene for that time on

If its 2, I agree with Oberkc that I'm not aware of a resume insteon feature

This is easy with v5.

Just save all the levels into integer variables and when you are done write them back to each device.

I have a section of variables dedicated to many of my devices and some take two variables for saved colour memory.
