User guide

Devices that are filtered, are not visible to HomeSeer. The ISY Insteon Plug-in will not create
a corresponding HomeSeer device and no status information will be available to other
HomeSeer components.
For any devices you want the ISY Insteon Plug-in to hide, simply un-check the check box next
to that device and press the Apply Filter button. Note that this will remove the HomeSeer
device associated with the ISY device. Thus, if you have any HomeSeer triggers or scripts
that use the HomeSeer device (house code / device code), they will no longer work.
If at some point in the future, you want the ISY Insteon Plug-in to create a HomeSeer device
for these devices, simply re-check the check box and press the Apply Filter button.
However, there is no way to guarantee that the new HomeSeer device will have the
house/device code this device had when associated with the same ISY device in the past.
Hiding the device from HomeSeer does not mean the device is hidden from the ISY Insteon
Plug-in. This means that any ISY Insteon Plug-in specific triggers or actions will continue to
function. The ISY Insteon Plug-in will continue to receive notifications from the ISY for the
device and will keep it's internal state for the device up-to-date.
Advanced Feature
It is possible to change the order of columns in the filter device display but this involves
editing the ISY Insteon Plug-in's configuration file manually. Open the file “isy_settings.ini” in
the HomeSeer Config directory with an editor such as Notepad.
The column order is controlled by a setting called “ColumnOrder”. If this setting exist, you can
change the order by changing the order of the column numbers. If it does not exist, you can
add it. The default is:
ColumnOrder = 6,1,2,3,0,4,5
Which makes the displayed column order be Checkbox, Parent, Folder, Location, Name, ID,
Type
Column Name Column Number
Name 0
Parent 1
Folder 2
Location 3
ID 4
Type 5
Enable Checkbox 6
