I've read all the instructions and have two switches 2477D that all I want to do is GROUP as a standard 3-way. So that if one is used to turn on / dim lights it is in sync with the other. I had this working fine but as soon as I connected one of them to the HUB 2242 it lost being linked to each other. How do I have these switches connected to the HUB for remote control and maintain being linked? I don't want to do a SCENE in the iOS software as this seems more clicks and cumbersome. I rather just want to select one of the switches, adjust, and be done. Which one I pick and use shouldn't matter.

The definition of a scene is anytime an Insteon device controls one or more other Insteon devices. It doesn't matter if use manual linking, software linking, app linking, a scene must be created.Message from Forum Admin: stusviews passed away in April 2018.

OK, so I created a scene and now when using the switches on the wall they stay in sync. However as soon as I use one of the switches on the app they don't stay in sync. Why?Comment

When you control a switch, only that switch is controlled, not any of its links. If you want to control more that one device, then you need to control the scene.Message from Forum Admin: stusviews passed away in April 2018.

Well again bad design!! They are dimmer switches and with a scene I see no way to dim them and keep them in sync. There has to be a better way!!Comment

If both devices are included in a single scene, then you should be able to control them in sync by controlling the [I]scene[/I] from the App or by manually pressing either paddle. Are you not able to do that?Message from Forum Admin: stusviews passed away in April 2018.

Correct, both devices are in a scene and there is no way to dim. It is just ON or OFF...Comment

Got it and now I can dim them, and this is a user experience issue. They need a consistent UI. One switch doesn't need that and a scene requires that extra click to get there to do that. Much opportunity for improvement...Comment
