I am on EISY-UI 1.4.6. If this has been corrected in 1.4.8, please disregard.

I use a lot of Insteon Micro Modules to control my lighting. I install these behind either standard wall toggle switches or, in many cases, Victorian push button switches. Either I have misunderstood the programming of the options on these units, or the options menu in EISY-UI has reversed the logic of some of the micro modules options both from how they actually operate and and how they were presented in AC.

By default, the modules are shipped configured for a latching switch (Momentary option is off). If a momentary switch is used, the Momentary option must be enabled.

The modules come with two sense wires. By default, the module only listens to the sense #1 wire (yellow). This way the module works with a standard single pole switch. If a double pole switch is used and connected to both sense wires, then the Dual Line option must be enabled.

A third option determines how the switch responds to the power on the single sense wire. By default, it will switch the load when the sense wire either senses power applied to the sense wire or when power is removed from it. This way, throwing the switch will always switch the light either on or off, even if it was previously switched by a different controller. This is the default and it is called 3 Way mode. It is active when the Line High always mode is turned off (i.e. not selected). If it desired that the light always follow the attached switch, the option must be enabled (i.e. 3Way mode turned off). If this is done, it may be necessary to flip the switch twice to control the light (i.e. if the light is on but the switch is off, turning off the light with the switch will require you to turn the switch on so that it matches the light and then turn if off to turn off the light).

In AC, these options were clearly labeled, and the additional explanatory text in red made it even more obvious that you had to deselect the option to choose the option in red (the default mode).

In EISY-UI, the logic has been reversed. The options have been labeled with the AC red actions, which are NOT what you will get if you select the option. The options in EISY-UI should be labeled "Momentary" rather than "Latch", "Dual Line" rather than Signal (?) Line, and "Line High On, Line Low Off" rather than 3-Way. Even better, the wording from AC should be used directly, providing the information of what turning the option on does, as well as what leaving it off does.

In addition, the option labeled "Ramp Dim" in EISY-UI should say "Resume Dim". Enabling it makes the light come back on at the light level it was at when it was turned off. It has nothing to do with ramping.

If I have misinterpreted these items, please correct me.

Thanks,

Dave
