Python script to toggle Insteon
Is there a Python script to turn Insteon on and off?

Look at: https://wiki.indigodomo.com/doku.php?id ... e_snippets
You want to use "indigo.device.toggle()".

Sorry for the confusion, I want to turn off the Insteon network at times.

Re: Python script to toggle Insteon
As far as I know, that's not possible to do programmatically. The same goes for plugins <strikethrough>(the Insteon interface is actually a plugin)</strikethrough>. This is primarily for security concerns. You wouldn't want a rogue plugin or hacker to have the ability to disable parts of your network.
It should be possible to restart the interface programmatically, but I don't think stop is possible.

Re: Python script to toggle Insteon
With one minor exception (Insteon and X10 are not implemented as plugins, as much as we wish they were - they predate the plugin architecture), @DaveL17 is correct: we don't allow interfaces or plugins to be shut down as that's a potential security issue.
