Help needed converting this AppleScript to an action

Use to have this AppleScript run and it would have my Insteon outlet to emit a beep 3 times

send Insteon raw cmd1 48 cmd2 5 to address “1A.84.1F”
send Insteon raw cmd1 48 cmd2 5 to address “1A.84.1F”
send Insteon raw cmd1 48 cmd2 5 to address “1A.84.1F”

Recreated three actions each with Insteon send raw cmd to the outlet
CMD 1 byte 0x48
CMD 2 byte 0x05

And it doesn’t emit any beeps. Have I translated it correctly?

Untested, but might work....

Code: Select all

dev = indigo.devices[someDevIdHere]
devAddr = dev.address
indigo.insteon.sendRaw (devAddr, [0x30, 0x02], waitUntilAck=True) # 2 is duration of the beep
indigo.insteon.sendRaw (devAddr, [0x30, 0x02], waitUntilAck=True)
indigo.insteon.sendRaw (devAddr, [0x30, 0x02], waitUntilAck=True)

I read somewhere else on the forum that due to an NDA with insteon, some of the stuff they can't disclose. I stole the above from nssheldon https://forums.indigodomo.com/viewtopic.php?t=10226&p=66827

Thanks so much. Works perfectly now.

Yeah, I saw that one thread regarding the command tables and the NDA. Couldn't find any command tables to refer to looking through the forum.

Appreciate your help. I had the beep function work fine for years and after upgrading Indigo last year lost that functionality without Applescript support .

Just curious…. Can the volume of the beep be increased any?

I'm pretty sure no, which is one of the reasons I never used it... In my experience, the beep was always to quiet and my hearing to crappy to notice it.

...I just found this which might be a simpler way to beep the device without sending a raw command. I've never messed with sending raw commands nor have I ever bothered to beep a device beyond just seeing if it works.

indigo.device.beep(123)

Code: Select all

dev = indigo.devices[someDevIdHere]
devAddr = dev.address
indigo.device.beep(devAddr)
indigo.device.beep(devAddr)
indigo.device.beep(devAddr)

In my previous post, however, the code has duration.... so I guess you could arrange quick and long beeps then brush up on your Morris Code

Ha ha! Love the Morse code!

Again, thanks for the info. Glad I’m learning something everyday
