mrxmas Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 When I create a scene, can you have a wait or delay added?? I would like to not have everything come on at once. Maybe have a couple sec. between some lights! Is this possible??
LeeG Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 You can use different Ramp Rates assuming the devices are Dimmers. Using a slower Ramp Rate has the visual effect of some coming on later. Different Scenes can be used with a Program turning on each Scene with a Wait or Delay. There is nothing in the Insteon architecture at the Scene level that allows for a Wait or Delay between devices in a Scene.
mattavila Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 I agree that in a SCENE there isnt a way to necessarily add a wait - but you could do it in a PROGRAM. Try creating a program that activates a couple scenes - pretty simple to add a wait in either an "if or then" and achieve the same effect. I use them in vacation programs (waits) with a "random" variable to simulate differences in scene activation (it helps give the appearance of home occupancy). Give that a try and see how it works for you
