Snibley Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 Hello, I've just upgraded to 5.0.16 RC1 from 4.7.3, need to rebuild some scenes....and the first thing that I bump into is that the Copy Scene Attributes function of 4.7.3 seems missing from V5. Am I not seeing something, or is this function not yet available in the 5 branch?... Thanks, - Snibley
BJB2757 Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Is there any update on this? I just updated from 4.x to 5.3. I used to use "copy scene attributes" all the time!

No. This capability was removed. With the ability to add different types of nodes vs only insteon to a scene, this no longer worked.
BJB2757 Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 It would be nice if at least insteon scene attributes could be copied, so at least we’d have the same functionality as before.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk This has already been discussed. In order to work with other stuff, it had to be removed. Isy is no longer about just insteon but a collective of different technologies. Unfortunately, it's the price of advancement.
BJB2757 Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 I'm excited about the advancement, I upgraded to 5.x because I want to take advantage of the new stuff! But still, I'm sure technically it would be possible, and it certainly would be extremely helpful, to have a function in the firmware that propagates Insteon scene attributes, and ignores all other scene attributes.

It was tried. Caused too many problems.

It's missing so that you can have the new stuff such as integrated nodeservers and zwave with insteon. If using only insteon is what matters 4.8 is sufficient. You can't say give me new but only want the focus to be on old. Unfortunately progress means some things that made stuff easy is lost in the process.
