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?

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.

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

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.

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?
