If the ISY Insteon Plug-in was able to detect your ISY, the IP address fields will be populated 
with the IP address of your ISY. If not, you will have to enter it manually. 
Username/Password
The Username and Password fields will be populated with the default values of “admin” and 
“admin” respectively. If you have changed the username and/or password, enter the new 
values. 
Automatically add new devices to HomeSeer
By default, the ISY Insteon Plug-in will automatically add any new device or scene created on 
the on the ISY to HomeSeer. This option allows you to change that behavior so that new 
devices are not automatically added. You can control which ISY devices, scenes, or 
programs get corresponding HomeSeer devices, using the filter section at the bottom of the 
configuration screen. 
Display Insteon type descriptions
The ISY Insteon Plug-in can populate the HomeSeer Device Type fields with one of two 
different strings. By default, with the “Display Insteon Type Descriptions” option unchecked, a 
short generic type description will be used. For instance dimmer switches will have type ISY 
Dimmer and relay based switches will have the type ISY Relay. With the “Display Insteon 
Type Descriptions” checked, the device type field will use the Insteon device description, 
which includes the device part number. For example an Insteon SwitchLinc dimmer would 
have the type SwitchLinc V2 Dimmer 600W 2476D V3.5. Non-Insteon devices (scenes, 
programs, modules, etc.) are unaffected by this option.
