not all insteon devices are exported to the Device Manager

Ok, so its working now?

Well yes, but the problem exists that the Icon Relays are somehow defined as Appliance/Switch. I also use some plug in relays that were defined as I think Switch. None of these show up on NR. I guess the logic is somewhere in the way the Device Manager defines the type. It's easily worked around if you know how, but who would? and if I indeed wanted my appliances to show up on NR under the heading of Lights/Appliances I don't think they would unless designated as Light/Switch.

The DM assumes that relay devices are most likely controlling an appliance. Maybe it shouldn't. In terms of the layout of the flatstyle ccf, I would like to see separate lighting and appliance sections but some would not. The DM is designed to be flexible so we can change this behavior very easily.

The Relays I have are all paddle switches. They mostly control Bathroom fans and flourescent lights. I guess as long as the option remains to change what they do, it's fine. Maybe an assumption shouldn't be made, but instead the field left blank for the user to make a choice.

I agree on separating lights and appliances, but then I'm not contriolling any appliances, so it doesn't really matter.

The one thing I would like to see is the location displayed at the top of the screen on NR when you choose an individual location. It's very confusing as to how to label each device. Do you include the location in the description so that it shows up on the 'All Locations' tab? Or do you leave it off so that when you are in a particular location tab every switch isn't labeled starting with the word 'Outside' for instance. I know this belongs somewhere else, but it just came to me. In the upper right hand corner of the NR screen is a description. It has two parts. What are these supposed to be?

Howard, if you edit the Display Name on the DM Config page - that will change what NR displays for each device.

Yes, but since they are displayed in two different contexts, It is hard to decide whether to include the Location in the description or not.
