Configuration for insteon_local

Hi

I’m very new no Home Assistant, so apologies for any poor terminology.

I’m trying to configure HA with my Insteon Hub and having very little success.

insteon_local entry in my configuration.yaml -

insteon_local:
host: 192.168.1.24
username: fred
password:
timeout: 10
port: 25105

This seems to attach HA to the hub fine - log entries such as

2017-05-11 06:41:11 INFO (Thread-10) [homeassistant.components.insteon_local] get_buffer_status: Got raw text with size 100 and contents: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
2017-05-11 06:41:11 INFO (Thread-10) [homeassistant.components.insteon_local] post_direct_command: http://192.168.1.24:25105/1?XB=M=1
appear.

Then finally an entry similar to
2017-05-11 06:41:20 INFO (Thread-6) [homeassistant.components.insteon_local] get_linked: Final device list: {‘1FED0A’: {‘cat’: ‘’,
‘cat_name’: ‘unknown’,
‘cat_type’: ‘unknown’,
‘group’: [‘00’, ‘01’],
‘model_name’: ‘Energy Display’,
‘sku’: ‘2448A2’,
‘sub_cat’: ‘’}}

        HOWEVER the entries for 'mode_name' and 'sku' change at every startup, and never match what is actually attached to the Insteon device.

After this “Final device list” log entry, I get this:
2017-05-11 06:41:20 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Bus:Handling <Event service_registered[L]: domain=switch, service=turn_off>
2017-05-11 06:41:20 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Bus:Handling <Event service_registered[L]: domain=switch, service=turn_on>
2017-05-11 06:41:20 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Bus:Handling <Event service_registered[L]: domain=switch, service=toggle>
so I’m guessing that HA thinks it has loaded the Insteon data correctly, but plainly it hasn’t.

I have
switch:
platform: insteon_local[details=Summary]This text will be hidden[/details]
device_id:
name: Plug

        in configuration.yaml also - Is the format correct? It throws no config errors.

After much searching on the forums I’ve dawn a blank.

Hopefully I’m not overlooking something obvious, but if anyone has any suggestion or pointers, I’d appreciate.

Cheers!

(Apologies for poor formating - first time user!)
