I have an Insteon controlLinc (2430) that successfully controls 2 dimmer plugins (2456D3) via 2 buttons. I run HA with an insteon PLM. I can manually turn on/off the lights via the HA GUI, so I know HA can communicate through the PLM to the dimmers, but if I use the controlLinc buttons to turn on/off, HA doesn’t see the state change. The state of those switches don’t change in the GUI. Other insteon devices change just fine when I press their controlling insteon devices. So I know that HA can monitor other insteon devices and update the GUI.
I used pyinsteon to monitor insteon messages when I press the on button on the controlLinc and I see this message:
2020-11-24 13:50:52,453 INFO samples Topic: 156885.1.on.all_link_broadcast data: {‘cmd1’: 17, ‘cmd2’: 0, ‘target’: 000001, ‘user_data’: None, ‘hops_left’: 1}
So I know there is some message that can be visible to HA via pyinsteon.
I tried adding an automation to trigger on the insteon.button_on event to turn on the dimmer, and that didn’t trigger either.
Any ideas of what to check or change?
