I notice in the manual there are three configurations that can be set for the remote, 4 Scene, 8 Scene Non-Toggle, 8 Scene Toggle. Mine is “4 Scene”, I don’t know if it matters the remote configuration. The default according to manual is 8 Button Toggle, but mine, seems to have default 4 scene.

Despite the manual indicating the remote supports double tap and press-hold, the HA insteon integration, does not seem to be able to generate events for that,

I’m trying your blueprint, unfortunately line 63: address: !input remote_address
won’t pass, any clue?

to tell the truth I haven’t used in a while. ARe you seeing an error message?

In the entry “Insteon remote address” you need to enter the address of the remote, this is the insteon address which would be something like 112233 which you can find in the insteon control panel. enter it without any spaces or periods.
