How to use with Indigo

yosappy wrote:When I do the normal DEFINE & SYNC for an INSTEON DEVICE, for a Wireless TStat, I first press the SET BUTTON on the TStat so Indigo can communicate with it. Then it goes through its routine; but, at the end it tries to send 4 requests & they all FAIL because the Wireless TStats are BROADCAST ONLY devices, to save on their battery power. Then, when I check the RESPONDER LINKS & CONTROLLER LINKS, there is only 1 RESPONDER LINK that tells the Hard-Wired TStat that this Wireless one is controlling, to go to "Sets Mode to Auto Heat 67 / Cool 78" on broadcast of button/group 1.

yosappy wrote:2. How can Indigo CHANGE THE OFFSET TEMPERATURE SETTING or PROGRAMMING for any TStat? You can do this manually via the PROGRAM & TIME / SENSOR BUTTONS.
yosappy wrote:3. How can Indigo CHANGE THE MASTER ON / OFF CONTROL for any TStat? You can also do this manually via the MASTER BUTTON.

yosappy wrote:5. What is the meaning / use for each RECEIVED INSTEON STATUS for each BUTTON / GROUP #1, 2, 3 & 4; i.e., Button 1 (OFF) = HEAT OFF, button 2 (ON) = COOLING ON, etc.?
yosappy wrote:OK, that explains why I did not see the other 3 Links in there and why this Link was in there, which I did not put in there. I am still concerned, however, about deleting it.
yosappy wrote:Are "(button 1)" and your "Group 1 - Cooling change (ON or OFF)" the SAME THING? Thus, "on (button 1)" IN ENGLISH, MEANS the Air Conditioner was TURNED ON?
