5.2.2.12New Scene
Creating Scenes in ISY allows the user to set ramp rates, set on level, link or group devices
without physically going to each device(s) to manually set, link or group them. Let’s say you
want to link a device in a bedroom to a device in the kitchen. When manually linking these
devices, you will have to physically go to the bedroom device set it to linking mode then go
to the kitchen device set it to linking mode. This process can be done via the ISY by creating
a scene, naming it, then placing the bedroom and kitchen devices into the scene. The
system will automatically link and program the devices.
Once you select this menu you will be presented with the “New Scene” dialog requesting a
name for the new Scene. Enter the name you prefer (the name can be changed at a later
time) and click on “Ok”. The new scene will be added to the tree view on the left pane.
