Devices state not updating when Insteon Hub Makes a Change

I got an Insteon Hub. Main reason was for direct Alexa control and to not have the 27 device limit with the HUE Bridge plugin.

Only problem is that when the HUB turns a light on or off, Indigo doesn't know that the state has changed, and it doesn't update. So if I turn a light on wit the hub, indigo still shows that it is off, unless I manually tell it to send status request.

Any ideas how to get this working?

Right - this is one of the problems using the Hub and a PowerLinc at the same time.

The v2+ of the Alexa-Hue Bridge plugin eliminated the 27 device limit.

Thanks Jay!
Didn't realize there was a newer version. I was still on v1.
Problem solved, its great. I have Alexa now doing lots of other stuff besides lighting. No more need for IFTTT and it's associated delays.
