Unfortunately this is not always the case. In my situation >9/10 time my one switch works but <1/10 it doesn't. It may mean the switch is bad? Possibly but I really don't want to spend another $40-$50 to find out I just want to send the signal again, if it fails. When I send the signal manually after noting a failure it works, again> 9/10 times or better. I have Insteon repeaters, all my switches are dual band, etc. I've been doing this for over 15 years starting with X-10. My current home actually has two separate 200A services so I have 4, not 2 legs, to bridge and I've traced things using the X-10 stuff so I have a pretty good idea what circuits are on what legs.
So, is there a way to write a script/plugin to handle these errors and simply repeat a command that fails? I've gone through the python/AppleScript DOM/Dictionary and don't see any way to get error events. Am I missing something. It seems an oversight to have good failure reporting on Insteon devices and not to have any way to do something about the failures. I guess I could just parse the event log every minute, or so and use the error messages there to do something but seems a little kludged.
BTW thanks for getting the 64 bit Touch out. I know that was a pain.
