When the HomeScope system is first started, or after a Factory Reset
(provided that no Devices or Links have been added to the Configuration), and
provided that an Insteon PLM or PLC is attached to the system, the user
will be given the option to "Crawl" an existing Insteon
network.
To "Crawl" an Insteon network, you must
already have an Insteon network with devices linked to each other and at least
one of those devices linked to the Insteon PLM or PLC attached to the system.
|
|
The HomeScope system can then detect all
linked devices, and automatically add them to your system. Other devices
can be added later using the Editor, if required.
Depending on the number of Insteon devices in
the system, the "Crawling" process could take an hour or more.
Once the "Crawl" process has begun, it will
continue without any further intervention from the user and, on completion, it will populate the
system Configuration with all of the Devices and Links found. The user can then examine
and/or modify the new Configuration using the system Editor.
|
|
If it is necessary to stop the "Crawl" process for any reason, this
can be done by touching the CANCEL button or, if a keyboard is present, by
touching the "C" key. The user will be asked to confirm the request to abort
the process. If the process is canceled, no additions will be made to the
Configuration and no report will be written,
regardless of the number of Devices or Links already found. |
When the process is complete, the user will be asked whether to save a
report of the Devices and Links found. Unless the user declines, the
report will be written. The report is written to a subfolder of the
current application folder, with a name incorporating the time at which
the process was completed, in the form: \Reports\Devices_Detected_
yymmdd_hhmm.txt. |

Note that the "Crawl" process will continue even
while this Help page is displayed. |
