HomeScope Tutorials -- Insteon Configurer
      Lights Control Return To Index     
   

The HomeScope system can be used to directly control any of the Insteon or X10 devices in the network.

If Zones have been defined, lights can be displayed by selecting a Zone.  All of the Lights for that Zone can then be displayed.  If no Zones are enabled, all Lights will be displayed.  By default, Lights are displayed as a 3 x 2 matrix, but this can be set to other values.

Current values for all Lights are displayed, and these can be changed with a single touch on the screen or, if a keyboard is present, with a few keystrokes.

The display can be viewed with the Control and Task bars displayed, or switched to full-screen display of the Lights.  Switching between the two modes is accomplished by touching the same Light or Zone twice within 2 seconds or, if a keyboard is present, using the F key.

Values are updated according to rules that give priority to any changes in settings made from HomeScope, then to the currently focused Light (outlined in green), then to other displayed Lights, and finally to Lights that are not currently displayed.  So, while manual changes made to Lights may not be immediately displayed, they will be displayed in time.

The following procedures may be used to view or change settings of Lights:
