I'd like to make a scene by double-clicking a button or dimmer-- should this be possible with ISY? Or is it an Insteon logic limitation? My wife doesn't like to push a dimmer twice to get full brightness (I have on-level [applied locally] set to 20%, so we have to push twice to get to full brightness. She wants to push once for full brightness (default), and twice to get to dim level. That requires a program for every switch in the house-- Why can't we get a scene to do that?

Thanks

You can program a switch's On response, but the other responses are uniform for all dimmers across the Insteon product line--Off turns off at the local ramp rate, Bright is always bright, Dim is always dim, On (pause) On turns the local load on 100%, and Fast On & Fast Off turn completely on or off instantly. This consistency improves the user experience for visitors and, eventually, potential buyers of your home when you decide to relocate.

 

You can get something close, but not exactly what you describe. It sounds like you would be best served by programming the local on level at 100% and the ramp rate to instant. Tap the On (top) paddle to turn on instantly, or hold the On (top) paddle to brighten to a lower level.

Thank you for the explanation. Questions-

 

Isn't "fast on" and double-tapping the upper dimming switch equivalent?

Do you suggest instant ramp rate just so you get a faster dimming/bright response?
