slpelts Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 can i have a scene where some lights are on and some are off? if i have a situation where i want to make sure that lightA goes on lightB goes off fan goes on can that be in a scene? if not do i just have to program this some how? what is recommended?
oberkc Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 I believe this can all be defined as a scene, but must be done through the ISY rather than direct insteon device programming. Using the ISY-99, you simply add the devices you want to the scene, then set the on levels as you desire, including setting it to 0 (or off). You did not mention how these lights and fans are controlled (switch? keypad? plug-in module? In-line linc?) or which of these, if any, are controllers. If you need further clarification, it may be useful for you to provide such details.
slpelts Posted May 18, 2010 Author Posted May 18, 2010 it is a keypad link and want to control from a controlinc i want some devices on and some off. they are all appliance types so switches. i can't set dim to 0 to have same effect with appliances
oberkc Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 i want some devices on and some off. they are all appliance types so switches. i can't set dim to 0 to have same effect with appliances As an experiment, I just created a scene including a controller switch and an appliance module. I was able to create an on level of 0 for the appliance module. I have no explanation for why you are unable to set a relay switch in this way. Perhaps different versions of the switch cannot do this. Another possibility is that you have a relatively early version of the ISY software. Both of these theories are just guesses on my part.
slpelts Posted May 20, 2010 Author Posted May 20, 2010 ok this works mostly by setting the appliance type modules to 0% however, the ones that do work, if initially off turn on then off. then there are those that just turn on and stay on. any thoughts?
