Programmaticall disabling writes to battery devices?

Featured Replies

With eisy-ui coming along and the Admin Console going away eventually, I figured now would be a good time to ask about this. I have a number of scenes where I update the action response to battery operated motion sensors, so on every boot of IoX (or ISY from 5.x onward, this worked without issue in 4.x) I have to go in and manually disable automatic writes to battery powered devices, otherwise over the course of a week or so the performance goes off a cliff due to all of the pending writes.

Does anybody have a way of doing this using a program? The option isn't in the eisy-ui at all, and frankly after years of this it's getting old and I want to remove one more, "After power loss.." things from my life.

I don't follow, maybe attach an image of the scene or program being used. Batter devices need to be awake to write, so writing is not something that should be done programmatically in most cases.

What he's asking about is if we could add a way to programmatically enable/disable automatic writes to battery powered devices. By default this is enabled, and IoX tries to write the updates periodically, which slows down other Insteon communications. In admin console, this is triggered here:
