Insteon Cover for I/O Link

Since you appear to be comfortable moving around the operating system (I am guessing this because you use a Synology box), you may want to try the Insteon Panel, which will give you more control over your devices. It includes a button to add the default links and direct access to edit the ALDB.

Insteon control panel - Share your Projects! / Lovelace & Frontend - Home Assistant Community (home-assistant.io)

Also, the IOLInk still appears to have the Open/Closed state backwards. Sorry about that.

Well, I THOUGHT that was fixing it, but then it didn’t. It seemed to say opened and closed when it should and then, about 10 seconds after it closed, it switched the status to say open again. I also THINK that when I push the “toggle” button icon, to On, for instance, after a short time, it goes back to the off position. I’m not sure because I don’t want the neighbors wondering why the heck my garage door is going up and down a thousand times.

But it just doesn’t look like it does the right thing as far as status goes. And maybe the display of the button. I noticed that other people used a “Cover”. Maybe I should figure out how to use that. Or make my own UI. Is there a place we can complain about it not working right?

I AM comfortable moving around the operating system a bit. I was a professional programmer. I wrote my first program in 1966. My college quantum mechanics course told us to go out and solve Shcroedinger’s wave equation using a computer with a given set of boundary conditions. So we all went out and learned Fortran and made it work. So I’ve worked with many languages, machines, and OSes over the years. Favorite language was PL/I, favorite OS was OS/2, favorite UI development environment was XAML. Also programmed in Cobol, Pascal, C++, and others.

The switch is going to the off position because the relay is turning off automatically. This is how you have the IOLinc configured. The button in HA is following the state of the relay correctly but does not appear to be following the state of the sensor correctly.

One way to see what is happening under the hood is to turn on logging. You can enter the following in the configuration.yaml file located in your config directory:

logger:
  default: info
  logs:
    pyinsteon.topics: debug
    pyinsteon.messages: debug

After you put this into your configuration file, you need to restart HA. Wait about 5 - 10 minutes after HA starts up and send me the lines in the logfile that correspond to the timing of the tests (Putting the system in debug mode will produce a lot of content but I only need the 30 - 60 seconds of data related to putting the garage door up and down a couple of times).

Well, that was odd. I’ll have to do it again. When I got done, all I saw in the log was the initial setup, but nothing about the events with the device.

Well, I’m shot for today. Here is what I got for the log:

When you said the “service will run in the background”, did you mean that it is ALWAYS running, or that it will run ONCE in the background. How does one know that the service has finished running? Is it when the Green Checkbox appears or does that just indicate that it spun off that service task successfully?

Do you know where the documentation is for that?

I have the exact same issues going on with my I/OLinc insteon device. I dont know much about coding and HA but just starting to learn. Mine seems to work individually opening and closing the garage door; however couple things are weird. 1. The status button that I click to open and close the garage always turns on for a couples seconds then goes back to a closed state; however the garage stays in its open or closed position. 2. the sensor is backwards meaning when its closed, its actually open and when its open its actually closed. I can just fix this physically by seperating the sensors when its closed and together when its open. 3. When creating a good night scene and wanting the garage to closed with lights; everything shuts off but the garage will not respond at all. Wont open or close the garage at all.

Any thoughts?

Is this something I need to do? if so how? not sure where to insert code. “Insteon: I/O Linc - Garage Door Status settings issue with HASS · Issue #38412 · home-assistant/core · GitHub

I’m a beginner at HA. Just started doing stuff a couple of days ago because of Insteon screwing us.

Someone else told me that the relay is supposed to go back off. When you click it on, I think it gives power to the relay, the relay closes, and then the power is off the relay so it is open again. That is separate from the sensor which is supposed to tell if the door is closed or not.

Sorry, but I don’t know about your other questions.

thank you! wonder how i can make a good night scene so it checks the sensor and if open it will close the garage and if closed, it will not trigger the iolinc?

Just guessing without trying. Add an automation that depends on Sun entity and has a condition for the sensor state?

lol well that makes sense, ill have to try it out.

Thanks for fixing the logic flip for Insteon Hub in the July release! Any chance that the same bug is still present in the ISY frontend code for IOlink? I’m seeing the color toggle reversed now that I moved to my ISY. Not knowing who owns what I figured I start asking here…

The ISY and the core Insteon components are completely separate so it is not a related issue.
