Split Location/Name from ISY name using character
The ISY Insteon Plug-in has the ability to parse the device/scene/program names from the
ISY into the HomeSeer location, location 2 and name fields. If you want to utilize this feature,
check “Parse locations from name” and enter a character to use as a delimiter in the text box.
For example, if parsing the name is enabled and the character is set to the “:” character:
ISY device name = “Kitchen:Overhead Light”
HomeSeer device name = “Overhead Light”
HomeSeer location = “Kitchen”
Two “:” characters can be used to parse the name and populate both the location and
location2 fields.
Set HomeSeer Location to
The drop down menu will display the various options that can be used to populate the
HomeSeer Location field.
Option Description
Do Not Set The ISY Insteon Plug-in will not modify the Location field.
Folder Use the folder name that encloses the device.
Parent Folder Use the folder name of the parent folder that encloses the folder the
device is in.
Parse From Name Use the separator character set above to parse the location from the
ISY device name.
User Defined You may supply a text string that will be used for all of the ISY
Insteon Plug-in devices.
Set HomeSeer Location 2 to
The drop down menu will display the various options that can be used to populate the
HomeSeer Location 2 field. See the table above for the menu option descriptions.
Setting both Location and Location 2 to the “Parse From Name” option will cause the parsing
function to look for two delimiter characters in the ISY name. For example:
ISY device name = “Main:Kitchen:Overhead Light”
HomeSeer device name = “Overhead Light”
HomeSeer location = “Main”
HomeSeer location2 = “Kitchen”
The ISY26 has a length limitation on the name of 26 characters.
