Insteon LED control

What happen to the ability to control the LEDs on Insteon switches? I'm also not able to discover a new Insteon FanLinc device or replace an old one in the application.

Running Version:
2022.2.2

MAC OS
Ventura 13.3.1

What happen to the ability to control the LEDs on Insteon switches?

I don't understand the question, can you be more specific?

I'm also not able to discover a new Insteon FanLinc device or replace an old one in the application.

Again, we need more details - what errors do you see when you try to sync the FanLinc?

[MODERATOR NOTE] - moved to the Insteon forum.

For the LED I have a scheduled job that turns off the backlighting on my Insteon switches that no longer functions.

I had to replace one of my Insteon FanLinc devices and I am trying to add it to Indigo.

Just adding a new device.

Oddly enough I tried downgrading to 2022.2.1 but the version listed still shows 2022.2.2 but the list under Insteon and interface shows all the options previously where I can control the keypad Linc back lights.

Still not able to add a new device.

Your FanLinc isn't responding to Indigo's request for information. If you are replacing a FanLinc that you think is failing, it seems relatively likely that it's not the FanLinc itself but rather some signal issue that's interfering with communication. See the signal troubleshooting page for tips on dealing with signal noise.

I have a KeyPadLind in a guest bedroom used for changing a ceiling fan's seed. I wanted to leave the KPL's LEDs off unless a button was pressed.
When that happens I want the button LED's to light up to show the status of the selected speeds but to turn off after a timeout to keep the room dark for sleeping.

I used the following code embedded in an Action's Python script:

Code: Select all

insteonId = "com.perceptiveautomation.indigoplugin.InsteonCommands"
insteonPlugin = indigo.server.getPlugin(insteonId)
if insteonPlugin.isEnabled():
   actionProps = dict()
   actionProps["brightness"] = 5  # a value from 1-100
   actionProps["device"] = "Guest Room  keypadlinc"  # the ID of the KeypadLinc or SwitchLinc
   actionProps["brightenMethod"] = "kpl"  # the device is a KeypadLinc - use "swl" if it's a SwitchLinc
   insteonPlugin.executeAction("setLedBrightness", props=actionProps)

It failed to work. Matt told me to replace the device name string with the device ID number and sure enough it woks as expected.

So now I have two Actions one to turn the LEDs on and one to set the LED's to 0
The "turn on" one is triggered when any of the KPL's buttons are pressed and after a delay the "turn off" Action is activated.

Thanks, Matt

I'm glad you were able to get it working!
