Update upon self reflection:
I purchased a new USB PLM for home assistant and did not migrate my current (serial) PLM with an adapter; which I believe may be the source of my issues. ~Basically the ISY PLM with it’s ALDB, which the Insteon universe is programed to talk to should have been migrated, and then HA would have known what was going on… At least that’s my current line of thinking

Any update on this, do you know if they ever released a new firmware and if it resolved any of the connectivity issues?

I’m moving from Docker to a VM and have a USB PLM. How do I update the USB path in the Insteon Integration?

I think that is a VM question and depends on the VM platform you are using. In VMware, the USB ports have to be configured/passed though to a VM and then those ports are available in the OS (Windows, Linux, etc.) that the VM is running. I’ve never run HA in a VM so can’t comment beyond that…

Thanks for the reply. I’m using UnRaid, and passing through a couple usb devices. I’m able to see them in the VM and was able to update the path for my Zigbee USB. I’m just not seeing how to update the Insteon path.

My thought with switching to a VM was that I could have everything together in the VM and dedicate resources better. There’s nothing wrong with my current Docker setup, so maybe just keep that…

Other than locating and editing the /dev/? path in HA’s config files, I think you would have to re&re the integration to input the new path.

If you go to “Devices & Services” → “Insteon” → “Configure”, this will take you to the Insteon Configuration Panel. From there go to the “Utilities” tab, there is an option to reconfigure the modem.

I’m not able to see that option in the VM where I need to update the USB path. However, I can see the configure option in my old Docker setup.

Below are screenshots from the VM:

@teharris1 That’s only available when the config entry is loaded & working!

@feistyacorn You have two options:

  1. Delete the old config entry and add a new integration config entry with the new path.
  2. Edit the HA config file & restart HA:
