Hey guys, new to the forum. I am one of the Insteon Hub users that got a nice surprise on the 15th of April ... I've purchases a raspberry pi and have Home Assistant up and running and it has discovered all of the devices I have in the hub automatically ... the issue is now around the user interface on the web not being consistent with the actual state of the device/not communicating consistently

#

For example, when I click a light off on the web interface, it automatically turns itself back on in the web interface ... as for the actual light, sometimes it will turn off and sometimes it will turn on, but it doesn't respond consistently ... this seems to be happening more than anything else with the in-linelinc dimmers that I have ... any thoughts on how to fix?

hi @sharp wyvern, seems like I'm in the same boat as you…have Home Assistant running, devices auto detected, but a number of them not working correctly (mine seem to be a combo of linelinc dimmers and keypads). I don't have any solutions, but happy to share notes and troubleshoot together. My suspicion is the devices not working correctly either (1) have some controller/responder relationships with another switch, (2) are in fact a 3-way switch or (3) are synced with previous Insteon scenes. I tried doing a full reset of one of my keypads, which helped, but now the "main" button will turn the correct light on, but not turn it off.

Have you guys looked at the link_tables in the devices themselves? Use insteon-terminal (python/java code) https://github.com/pfrommerd/insteon-terminal and you can directly probe (once you connect to your hub) and get the who's linked to who DB from the device, and can even alter it. I'm removing my old PLMs (had 3 different ones over time) and the 2 dead Hubs that I've had (early rectangle one, and a square oen that was bricked by a firmware update 5-6 years ago)

@wicked bane thanks so much, wasn't aware there's a command line interface for Insteon…link_tables look very helpful!
