    Keypad won't turn on full Scene, but iPhone app will

    Curious -
    I create a Scene on my iPhone (which turns on 6 devices - all lights), and then assign it to one of the buttons on the 6-button keypad (could be any button).
    I then test the Scene from my iPhone and it will turn on/off correctly.
    However, when I try to turn it on/off from the 6-button keypad, not all of the devices will turn on. I get this same behavior for another Scene I created and assigned to another button on the keypad. Any tips would be welcome! This is taking a looooooong time to get up and running.

    Did you add the button to the scene as Controller, Responder, or Both?

      I've added as CONTROLLERS and then set the selection to ON
      Should I be using BOTH (instead of CONTROLLER)? I'm a little confused on when BOTH would be selected instead...
      Thanks!

        A controller can turn a device on (or to a particular On-level at a particular ramp rate for some devices) or off. Some devices are controllers only, for example, a Mini Remote or Motion Sensor.

        A responder is the device that's turned on. Some devices are responders only, for example, an INSTEON LED bulb or have no need to be a controller, such as a Micro Module or In-LineLinc.

        Selecting BOTH is useful for setting up a virtual 3-way configuration. No matter which button or paddle controls the load, you'd want both devices to show the correct status of the load.

          I actually have two 6-button keypads in different parts of the house that I have assigned to the same Scene.
          It sounds like then I would want to select BOTH on each of the keypads so they stay in sync and show the correct status, is that right?
          Thanks again, much appreciated-
