-Version-

Version 2.1.16

September 3, 2006

Group 255 is now reserved for All Devices. Device Manager 278 works intermittently with Group Controller.

Version 2.1.14

August 24, 2006

The program checks for version 235 of the Device Manager as newer versions (262, 268) are broken.

Version 2.1.12

I made a few minor changes.

Version number changed to match Device Controller.

Version 2.1.03

10-Jun-06

Stupidly had an older version of Group Controller in the installer program.

Version 2.1.01

Squashed a bug that would hang the program when the connection to the PLC did not exist.

 

 

-Premise-

Group Controller follows on the heels of Device Controller and will be installed in the Device Controller drawer.

 

Group Controller was written to be a small program you can quickly run on your Windows PC. Group Controller will allow you to set PLC group states. Off/Dim/Brighten/On are the controls.

 

I hope a lot of Insteon users will find this program useful.

 

 

-Requirements-

A computer running the Microsoft Windows Operating System.

An Insteon USB PowerLincController connected to your computer. Only tested with v1.12.
