RemoteLinc and Group Manager Tab

[jmbraben]

I'm trying to use a RemoteLinc with the latest Girder.
I haven't had any trouble adding it to the Insteon Component Manager. I manually added it to the Device Manager tab and linked it to the PLC, and can see the "one" button press in the log screen.

My problem is that the RemoteLinc doesn't show up in the "group manager" tab, so I can't use Girder to create links to other lights, or link the other buttons to the PLC.

I suppose I could manually link them at the devices, but that's not what Girder's about...right?

Also, as Vitello pointed out a while back, there should be a way of telling Girder not to Poll for this device (as it will typically be powered down). This "no poll" feature also would be handy for holiday lighting nodes (which may be removed from the network for the season). It seems like this should be check box for all nodes (or at least those that are pluggable or RF).

Thanks for the help,
Jon

So am I the only person trying to use RemoteLinc with Insteon?
Or just the only one having problems?

[vitello]

You are certainly not the only one using a RemoteLinc with Insteon and having problems with it and Girder. I ended up doing my RemoteLinc linking by hand. Insteon development, including bug fixes, clearly has been on hold since Mike left last year. I keep hoping that when G5 finally gets formally released then the Insteon plugin will get some attention.

Peter, as I have said before Insteon development will continue again as soon as we have the other priorities finished.

[vitello]

Ron,

I agree that your other priorites need to get finished first. I am though looking forward to when Insteon development starts up again.
