apostolakisl Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 I went to change a scene around removing a kpl button. I added that kpl button to another scene. The problem was that then light switches in the old scene were turning on the new scene. I went through and did a restore device on each device in the scenes and still it didn't behave Finally I removed everything from the scenes and put them all back in. That worked. But my question is, why did I have to do that? Shoudn't it have worked by just removing the one thing and adding that same thing to another scene?
Michel Kohanim Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Hello apostolakisl, It all depends on how you added your devices to ISY in the first place. If they've been added by using the crawl function, then phantom links might not be removed depending on whether or not they are responders. Usually the best thing to do is to start fresh with a clean database for each device. With kind regards, Michel I went to change a scene around removing a kpl button.

apostolakisl Posted October 7, 2009 Author Posted October 7, 2009 No, the scenes were created using the isy initially and then later I changed them using the isy. It was my impression that when you do a restore device that it is supposed to clear all old links and then drop in the correct links. I also was under the impression that when you pull a device out of a scene using the isy that it removes those links on the spot.
Michel Kohanim Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Hi apostolakisl, Yes, ISY should clear all those links when you use the first option in Add INSTEON Device and Start Linking modes. If they are not being removed, then I would strongly suspect the switches themselves.
