Chapter 14—Visual Scene Editor
6 The Home Control Assistant
Enter a scene name, and what device controls the scene. The controller can be any device that has
a button or rocker. Also you can create HCA controlled scenes by choosing HCA in the
controlled
by
list. In the list for the device selected are all the transmit components available and if they are
currently being used by a scene or not. In this example, the KeypadLinc E button will be the scene
controller.
When you close the create dialog, the VSE opens with the new scene displayed. The VSE
helpfully adds HCA as a responder but you can remove that if not needed.
When you start the VSE in this manner – by selecting from the menu Insteon – Visual Scene
Editor, you are focusing on a specific scene. The VSE shows only one tab and that tab shows the
scene.
Working “by device”
The other way to work with the VSE is to focus on a specific device and the scenes that device
participates in. In this manner the VSE shows a tab for each scene that the device is in.
To start the VSE in this way, right-click on a device in the design or display pane and select VSE
from the popup menu.
