Create a "Goodbye" code

Post by nexx »

Hello!

I'd like to configure a button on a KPL that turns everything off (lights and devices) when I'm about to leave home.

I have about 60 fixtures/appliances in my home. So we don't wanna check or send OFF commands to every device.

Question is: is there a way to get from Indigo the list of fixtures that are ON (or not OFF)?

Thanks in advance

If your devices are all (or mostly) INSTEON devices then you can just create a PowerLinc group with all of them in it. Then just send the group an OFF - it's a single message to all devices at once so it doesn't really matter how many are on/off.

Thanks Jay.

Oh yes, all devices are Insteon. How do I create a PowerLinc group with all devices? By using Indigo?

Check out the Managing PowerLinc Scenes section of the docs.
