Matt mentioned on another thread a bug with that text being red (which means Indigo can’t see the Insteon Controller) but I’m sure that was only in the Indigo client on a second Mac (ie not the client on the Indigo Mac).
First off: Thanks for the tip. You sent me down a path I should have traveled before I posted. Regardless, the problem is fixed. Read on for details
Great idea on the rebooting the Mac instead of just restarting Indigo. Don't know why I didn't think of that. But it didn't help. Still had the same problem. All INSTEON devices were still red. Any triggers associated with INSTEON devices are red too.
So... I took the additional step of shutting down everything again, unplugging the 2412U interface, then starting it all back up, but After the restart, nothing's working just like before..
But fiddling with the 2412U got me thinking I needed to compare Indigo log files from a previous reboot of the Mac back in March, and caught that I no longer see the following in the startup.
- Code: Select all
2018-03-28 17:29:44.919 Application Connected to PowerLinc 2412U interface on port usbserial-A6004soV
2018-03-28 17:29:44.919 Application PowerLinc address <REDACTED>, firmware version 8.5
So it's looked like a random hardware failure. But then, going into Indigo Prefs, I noticed that it was turned off somehow. So I turned it on, and magically, everything's working again!

PS: I still have no idea how/why the sample-home file became enabled out of the blue like that, but when I went to look and saw a hot-tub in the list, it really surprised me...
