    Scene not working

    Hello! I purchased an Insteon Starter Kit. I setup the hub (which had trouble updating, but otherwise walked through setup successfully), setup an account and plugged in the dimmer switches. I connected two lamps in two different rooms to the dimmer switches.

    I used a Windows PC to setup the Hub and due to an issue the software has on Windows, I couldn't specify a location for the Hub. I ignored the location issue and setup a scene with a schedule that turns on one of the lamps at sunset and turns the lamp off at sunrise. Later, I used an iPhone to set the Hub location.

    ​For two days now, the scene has not worked properly. It doesn't turn on automatically and it doesn't turn off automatically. Can anyone suggest troubleshooting tips?

    Thanks!

    Have you verified your location? Does the scene not turn on at all or does it turn on at the wrong time? As a check, change the on time to a few minutes from now. Did the scene respond correctly?

      Thanks, Stusviews. I figured out the issue. When I used my wife's iPhone to set the Hub location, I didn't go back to the Scene setup to make sure that "Sunrise" and "Sunset" were given times. Even though the Hub had a location, the Scene didn't automatically get the benefit. I re-created the automatic rules for the Scene and now it's working like a charm!
