BlueMesa Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 All, New to ISY. How do I set up all my lights going on/off via one command? Seems the complication is I have several 3 way switches already in a scene and not sure how to figure them in... tnx Jeff Link to comment
lilyoyo1 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Details!!!! What's all lights? Just the 3 way, whole house, only the room, is this done manually from certain locations, via a program....etc. Link to comment
BlueMesa Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Oh, thanks for the reply. Well just want to be able to either use Mobilinc to kill all lights in all rooms. Some are 1 way and some are 3 way. Also may want to do the same with a insteon button switch. So don't know if I need it via a program or a scene. Have scenes to run the 3 way lights. Thanks for ideas... Link to comment
lilyoyo1 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 If it's only via mobilinc, create 1 scene, add all devices to that scene and then you can turn all off. Every room in my house has its own all on/off scene. I have a program that will activate each scene 1 at a time for functions where I'm shutting down the whole house such as my away or vacation mode Link to comment
BlueMesa Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Ok, got it. Thank you! Any ideas on my Polisy question I listed? Link to comment

If I have 3 switches in a 4-way switch, do I add all 3 of them as a controller or responder to the "all scene", or just one of the 3 switches? Assume in you answer they go in as responders.

Each switchlinc with a load should be a responder. Each switchlinc that is going to control the load(s) should be joined as a controller. Some will be both. Make sure you factory reset every Insteon device before linking it to ISY! You will save yourself a lot of agro later. Link to comment

You would have separate scenes for your 4 way switch. In the main scene for them, all would be controllers. In your whole house scene, all would be responders. The same would apply if you had a scene to control the whole room. Everything would be a responder. Link to comment
