But that’s what fixed the issue with the switches that were unresponsive in HA - either delete or just re-add them to the Insteon app. I don’t know how adding devices to the Insteon app affects any data stored on the hub itself - you obviously don’t need to have the devices in the Insteon app to add them to HA and control them from there. Must have been some conflicting data in the database on the hub or something like that. It seems that because I didn’t reset my hub to factory defaults before I integrated with HA and started adding everything there, that is what caused the issue with some of the switches. There is no easy way to delete a device/entity in HA without deleting references to it in json files, etc. Must have been some residual data on the hub that was causing an issue.įYI, prior to the Insteon app going back online, I did try (many times) to reset the physical switch, restart the hub, etc. In hindsight I probably should have reset the hub to factory defaults before I started re-doing everything in HA. Re-adding them to the Insteon app has resolved the issue in HA. After reading that the Insteon app was back online, it seems that these same switches were not working properly in HA were not working properly in the app as well. Hoping to save some others some frustration as I’ve found a fix to my issue. ![]() entity_id: input_number.target_insteon_group # This requires two pieces of information, the target address as well as the group number for multi-button, multi-outlet devices # Given a group, get all the targets for that group I used two sensors but this could probaby be improved: sensor: Then on selecting a group, I can populate the devices in that group. Am i missing something obvious, or is it just the fact that I have a very powerful tool and there is a long learning curve? The old insteon GUI had a screen for on times, off times, and which days to have it work for either scenes or devices, but I do not see a simple function like that. Isn’t there a simple timer function? I created two automations, one to turn the fountain on, one to turn it off. ![]() For now, I just want a timer that tells my fountain to turn on and off at a particular time each day. ![]() Reading the documentation for Configuration and automation led me down a rabbit hole of Blueprints and YAMLs and a raft of options.There doesn’t seem to be a simple “delete” button I can see the orange + in the corner, so I can see how to add links, but how do I delete one of the records? I assume if I can puzzle out which record IDs are associated with an existing group or timer still active in the hub, deleting that record will take it away from the existing timer/scene so I can make sure that existing scenes/timers don’t interfere with new ones I create in HA. In the Insteon Configuration Page, selecting a device, selecting the All Link database, I can see 5 record IDs.I assume that there is still no way to update or delete scenes or timers currently in my hub?.All my wired devices are working, I am now ready to tackle the next steps. I have now got my system up and running in a Raspberry pi 4 connected to my old hub.
