Insteon Device Organization - Suggestions?

[RichTJ99]

Hi,

I posted this on the HS board but I remember seeing a thread about how people organize their devices. I was hoping to get some feedback on how to make my setup cleaner.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks,
Rich

One thing I did was to add a suffix to the end to indicate whether or not it was a load or status device.

I used the following:

-DL Dimmer Load: This device controlled the load
-DS Dimmer Status: This device just reflected status and did not control any loads
-RL Relay Load
-RS Relay Statis
-KL Keypad Load
-KS Keypad Status

I don't know why I needed this info, but it seemed like a good idea when I started it so I continued.

I also placed the breaker box circuit number in one of the note areas in PowerHome. With the method of using a traveler to provide power to a device in another room, this information was helpful.
