HomeScope Tutorials -- Insteon Configurer
      Repeat Wizard Return To Index     
   

The Wizard Editing Mode provides an easy way for the inexperienced user to set up the HomeScope system to manage an Insteon network.  The capabilities of the Wizard Editors are limited to essential functions only, but it is always possible to invoke the Expert Editing Mode to make other changes.

The Wizard will take the user through Option Screens that allow the Zones Wizard, the Devices Wizard and the Cross-Links Wizard to be sequentially invoked.  Any of the Wizards can be skipped, and the process repeated to return to the skipped Wizard, if necessary.  Individual Wizard Editors are:

  Zones:

Allows Zones to be added, enabled or disabled.  The Zones Wizard also provides the option to temporarily invoke the Expert Zones Editor if changes to other parameters are required.

  Devices:

Allows Devices to be automatically detected.
For Loadable devices that support dimming, the Local On Level and Local Ramp Rate values can also be set.

The Zones Wizard also provides the option to temporarily invoke the Expert Zones Editor if changes to other parameters are required.

Cross-Links:

Allows Cross-Links to be established from any Switching Device (Master) to any Loadable Device (Slave) and, in each case where the Loadable Devices supports dimming, values to be set for the On Level and Ramp Rate to be applied when the Link is activated.

Links can also be set up as two-way Links, allowing the current status of the Slave Device to be displayed at the Master Device.

The following procedures may be used to select the various Wizard Editing options:
