          Ive been lurking in this forum for about 6 weeks and havent found a decent manual for the latest version of PowerHome. I have it installed on a virtual machine (as Im a LINUX guy) and its working fine with my dozen or so devices.

 Im looking for a guide on building scenes / macros in the application, as well as a tutorial on the control center - how to create custom screens.
 
 I havent yet paid for registration, but would assuming I can do some design like this.
 
 Thanks in advance

          if you can get the PH-1 manual and quickstart, that provides a lot of (mostly still current info).  Otherwise skim the forums or post your questions.  Dave tries to write thorough responses in the forum so many of your qns may already be answered.  Also - try using the wizards.

          Thanks Jeff... I have gone through that, and while sparse, its helpful. I was able to build a panel using the wizard, and after several hours of playing added a new control.. now if I can only figure out how to make multiples (ones for different sized screens / machines).

 I like what Im seeing in PH, just wish that this wasnt a windoze application (being that Im not a windows user). I might try an ISY box as well and go from there. Overall I do like the flexibility that PH has with the Insteon products.
 
 Appreciate the feedback
 
 Matt
