I used several Insteon Appliance modules to control my Christmas lights this season. I set up a scene for them and controlled it with a program. Simple, easy, and it worked great.

 

After the holidays were over, I disabled the program and disconnected the Appliance modules, but now when I open up My Lighting, I get pop-up warnings that they can't be detected.

 

I'd rather not delete them, since I'd just have to re-create them when I use them again next year. Can the Appliance modules be disabled somehow, so that I don't get the pop-up warnings?

You will get errors with the 3AM Query "MyLights".

 

You can create a new scene containing all your devices except the holiday ApplianceLincs and direct the 3AM query to that instead of MyLights.

 

I have several scenes that added together contain all my devices; Indoor Lights, Outside Lights, Basement Lights, Holiday Lights, Train Lights.

 

Train Lights are on a power strip that is powered only occasionally. Holiday Lights are new LampLincs that will probably turn into Train Lights before next Christmas

 

If
       Time is  3:00:00AM

Then
       Set Scene 'Indoor Lights' Query
       Set Scene 'Outside Lights' Query
       Set Scene 'Basement Lights' Query

Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

 

Yes, it adds another link for every device, but it also allows viewing and control (and query) of every device in a more organized manner.

 

Or, heck, just delete or disable the 3AM Query

It did not occur to me that the 3am query was what was causing the messages. Thanks for the clue!
