Insteon PLM Component

[Mike C]

no, just a way to set the level. does the feature work from the component manager?

[gravy]

Yeah, both the Back Light On/Off button and the LED Brightness slider controls work fine when I use component manager.



Does that mean there's a Back Light On/Off LUA command somewhere?

turns out there is

idevice:WriteLEDOn (true or false)

[gravy]

Awesome! Works perfectly.

Mike - Looks like I have a dying 2413S PLM. More and more over the past few days, the PLM goes non-responsive in Girder, and the "set" LED goes out. I have to unplug, fiddle, try a reset, etc. sometimes it returns to functioning, but not for very long.

Couple questions:
1. Is the 2413s still the best PLM to use? I cannot download the programming with the 2413s - is there benefit to getting a PLM in which I could download and save the programming for "disaster recovery" purposes?

2. Is there a mechanism to update the links when I buy a new PLM that will have a different address? I have quite a few devices and manually deleting and re-linking would be heinous! I know there is a "replace" tab in component manager - would I use this to replace the old PLM? (Hopefully I can get it back to a responsive mode to do that?!)

Thanks!

The replace function should automatically fix all links for you. I think any of the PLMs will work.

My new PLM arrives tomorrow - I'll post the results in the thread. I'm not sure how it will handle the links to the couple of wireless (door contact) devices I have. Wish me luck!

Mike - currently running the replace function. Lots of updates happening in the lua console, but after about 10 mins (maybe less), I got the following error and the updates stopped:

I restarted G, and it seems to pick up again on its own - I did not re-initiate a replace. but then it errored out again:

Update - It seems like the PLM swap has worked well on the devices - which, is great! However, my groups no longer work - and it looks to my untrained eye that the errors above relate to groups? I checked the new PLM's groups within component manager, and I can see that groups appear to have been copied over from the old PLM ok, but none of the groups function properly.

UPDATE...
Groups do work! it was just my group actions needed to be corrected, as some were pointing at the "old" PLM's group. Perhaps the error I encountered above had to do with duplicate group names? Anyway - it worked great Mike - thanks (yet again) for such a great plugin.

Mike,
I just received several P2477D dual band dimmers (Rev7.05) and am having trouble with them.
I had no trouble adding the switch and establishing links to it, but...
I cannot set the preset level or dim rate via the "Dimmable Devices" dialog...it just seems to ignore the attempts.

Also, there is some strangeness in the monitoring log:..from an off state, a single "on" push on the switch yields this...note that device manager thinks the switch is "off" when done when it is really on. Also note the "Unknown 6" command. I am still running a 2412S PLM if that may have any impact.

Any thoughts?
I can provide logs if that helps, please just let me know what you want.
Thanks as always for the support.
Jon
