Would it be possible to add an "ALL OFF" command to eisy-ui, in rare occasions when I have a battery operated device that has a low battery it triggers an all on event, and I have to go into the Ihe admin console to use the all off command.

If memory serves, the all off command in X10 did not apply to appliance plugs, just to dimmers. Probably for safety reasons. Something to think about.

There are both "All Units Off" and "All Lights Off" commands, depending on if you want to turn off all devices or just lights, on a given house code.

The all off command would be for Insteon devices

I get that. but there are Insteon dimmers for lamps and Insteon appliance modules for pumps and freezers and etc., and I still think it is worth thinking about. But, I don't really care one way or another. I have never suffered from an all on event, nor do I have any critical items on Insteon appliance modules.

I am not sure if this will help but I created an All Off scene with all devices and all kpl buttons buttons for just such a case.

I don't think an All Insteon Command can be directly sent.

Like TJF1960. I created a scene with every device in the system.

To follow up @xlurkr 's caution...

1. Almost everything is triggered, like a garage door that might be on an io-linc, sprinklers, etc

2. The Almost part: In a test I did a couple of years ago, iox ALL ON / ALL OFF buttons did not turn off i3 devices as Insteon removed the ALL ON/OFF response based on the dreaded random occurrences. If you have any of those, they won't respond. I have to assume what you're asking for would call that feature on the buttons of java iox.

Depending how much link count is a premium in your PLM, creating a scene with specific participants would be the way to go.

@Techman , I use a program to monitor (query) a lamplinc that is my dedicated "all-on" detector. If the Lamplinc is detected as "ON" event has occurred and a "my Lighting" off program is called.

You could easily construct a similar program and Link it to a KPL button - activate if "All-On"

Note: setting "My lighting Off" turns will issue the Group FF off command to all Insteon devices. On my system, it also issues an X10 all lights off to housecode A (see event viewer below). I don't have Z-wave installed but these could also be turned off as well.

If you don't want "other technology" devices turned off, you would be better served by creating an "all off" scene as others have indicated.

Disclaimer - this is on the ISY994

Query Lamplinc every 5 Min

All on Poll - [ID 000A][Parent 0013][Run At Startup]
If
        Time is Last Run Time for 'All on Poll' +  5 minutes
Then
        Set 'All On Detect' Query
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Call My Lighting Off if Lamplinc is ON

All on response - [ID 0011][Parent 0013]
If
        'All On Detect' Status > Off
Then
        Set 'My Lighting' Off
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
