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?
Replace the Insteon remote with a Pico and the Lamplincs with RA2 plug-in dimmers. Seriously, you might want to start a new thread with this issue and give us some specifics about your triggers.
If I needed a longer term solution for the nightstand lights, I'd probably do that. But we're temporarily using our old plug-in lamps while DW is still looking for hanging lights. The ceiling boxes for the hanging lights are already wired into a pair of circuits in a Lutron WPM. But until we have those, I'm trying to make the Insteon controlled lamps act like they were on Lutron dimmers.
Besides, I don't think I can get eight-button Picos. And I really do need on/off for more than two devices. At least one if which is (and will remain) Insteon. Yeah, I could get the Lutron tabletop keypads, if I was willing to spend that much. Which I'm really not.
Right now, I have the two buttons set as toggle device, one going to the real dimmer in the WPM, one going to a dummy (no installed device) dimmer, just to see if the system acts differently. Each of these buttons has both keypad button and keypad LED devices in Indigo.
I have an Indigo trigger for each button (not LED) device, but it's not doing anything. When I press the button, I get the following debug output:
- Code: Select all
Lutron RadioRA 2 / Caséta Debug Message received: ~DEVICE,45,4,3
Lutron RadioRA 2 / Caséta Debug Received a Device message: ~DEVICE,45,4,3
Lutron RadioRA 2 / Caséta Debug Received a keypad button/LED status message: ~DEVICE,45,4,3
Action 3 is button press. This should trigger my "device onOffState becomes On" trigger, but doesn't.
I previously tried to trigger on changes in the LED state. This worked, sort of. It failed because the LEDs would turn themselves off for no apparent reason.
Any ideas?
