FlyingDiver wrote:Some observations and questions about the plugin now that I'm actually using it. For background, we just moved into a 4000sf house that I had partially equipped with Lutron RRA2 gear during construction. I have two main repeaters (will be well over 100 devices when complete), five WPM panels (six dimmers each), 14 keypads, a bunch of individual dimmers, 20 Lutron roller shades, and one horizontal drape motor. Or something like that. It's growing as new gear gets delivered and installed. I also have a number of Insteon door sensors, motion detectors, switchlincs, mini remotes, etc.
1. “Display LED state instead of button press status” is configured on the LED part of a button/LED pair, but it actually effects the Indigo on/off state of the button component? Shouldn’t it be configured on the button component?
FlyingDiver wrote:2. There's a device validation issue with those button/LED pairs. It's possible to get them into a state where the device is defined as a button, but the check box for item 1 above is also checked, which causes errors any time the button is used. The device validation should clear that property if it's a button.
FlyingDiver wrote:3. I see Timeclock events in the debug log, but there's no Indigo event for them. Seems like it should be possible to set up a plugin-level (not device) event for them.
FlyingDiver wrote:4. There's some discussion in the thread about button presses vs releases. Does sending an "off" to a button cause it to release? This is important for security system integration since the phantom button that causes the repeater to go into secure mode has to be released to get it out of secure mode.
FlyingDiver wrote:5. Not a big deal, but the plugin only supported one main repeater. But the only thing I'm loosing is the phantom buttons on the second repeater.
FlyingDiver wrote:6. The plugin configUI is kinda confusing with both the IP and serial config parameters exposed. It's really pretty easy to fix that.
FlyingDiver wrote:I'm struggling to get a couple of integration tasks done cleanly. Any suggestions for the best way to have a Lutron keypad button control a Lutron dimmer, but have Indigo in the middle to adjust the dimmer level based on time of day? Trying to turn on bathroom lights with the same keypad button, but low power in the middle of the night.
FlyingDiver wrote:Also, I've got a pair of Insteon Lamplincs in our bedroom. I want to control them both an Insteon miniremote (those are direct Insteon links) AND with a pair of Lutron keypad buttons. I have a hodgepodge of triggers watching both for Insteon on/off messages and LED on/off changes to keep the state in sync. It seems very fragile and the lights sometimes turn on or off for no apparent reason. Mostly it seems to be because the LEDs change state unexpectedly. Any suggestions on a better way to do this?

Obviously, while I'm connected a lot of plugins go a little haywire. However, when I disconnect they all seem to start right up working again. The only exception is the Caseta plugin. In order to get that working again I have to reload the plugin after disconnecting. Any chance there's an easy fix for this?
