7.7 Multi-Way Circuit

7.7.1 Creating the Multi Way

In the ISY the multi way circuit is much easier than most other hardware/software
controller setups. When it was done in the past with other INSTEON control systems you
made a separate scene for each controlling device that linked to all the other devices. With
the ISY there is only one scene to get the job done. Here are the steps to create a multi way
circuit.
• Log into your ISY.
• Create a new scene for the "Three Way Scene" (we are using three way for this
example you can have any number you like)
• In the confirm popup window set all three as controllers, then click ok (this step will
only work if all the devices are controllers, and all the devices are not already
controlling something else)
• Click on the "Three Way Scene" set all the scene levels so they are what you want.
• Click on each switch entry and click "Copy Scene Attributes From Three Way Scene"
so all buttons do the same levels.
Your 3-way is ready and should look something like this below.

Switch 3

7.8 Organization with Scenes

Scenes can be used to organize your home automation control as well as simplify logic.
For example:
ALL my lights fall into one of three global scenes: interior, exterior, or guest. I find these
global scenes useful for multiple purposes such as end-of-day shutdown (both automated
and manual), morning shutdown, troubleshooting, and away buttons. These scenes are
generally used to turn the house OFF, rather than on. I also find that including all devices in
one of these three global scenes makes introduction of new devices into my system easier
