To set values when the ISY itself is the controller (for example when controlled through the
Administrative Console or through ISY Programs), click the scene itself on the left-hand
pane.

to 50%, simply check the Apply Changes To All Devices option and drag the single slider to

Copy Scene Attributes From... As noted above, the ISY itself is also a controller of every
