Hello @teharris. I see the Insteon control panel. It lists my hub, 4 thermostats, and an outlet. Clicking the hub and then all-link database at the top of the page, I get a table showing multiple responder and controller entries for each device. In addition, on this list I see an entry for my Insteon siren device ID which is listed as “Generic Sensor Actuator ().”
I have leak sensors which are not showing in this list. I clicked Load From Device but get a message that says: The All-Link Database has not been loaded. Please load from the device.
Maybe it would help to describe what I’m ultimately trying to accomplish.
I’ve gone through the process of adding each leak sensor in Developer Tools, Services, Insteon: Add all link. Based on the immediate beep and the turning off of the flashing indicator on the leak sensors, they seem to get recognized by the hub. Even after waiting a few days they have not appeared in my list of devices in HA.
Activating a leak sensor on a plate of water, it triggers the siren even if the hub is unplugged. So, I know the devices are all working. But, I want to set up the leak sensors to send alerts to my cell.
Would a device override work to get them recognized and allow me to set up alerts? I found the device category and subcategory in the manual, but I don’t understand what the override actually does.
I tried relinking again. Clicked call service, then pressed the set button on leak sensor. The speed of the flashing light on the hub varied, which made me think they were communicating. After a few minutes there was a long beep from the hub. I think that means no link was made. I didn’t see the sensor listed in the Overview or the all-link database in the control panel. So, I did that in reverse. Pressed the set button on the leak sensor first and then clicked call service. Within a second the light on the leak sensor stopped blinking. The hub kept blinking until a long beep from the hub. Looking in the Overview and then the all-link database in the new control panel, the leak sensor does not appear.
In the Insteon panel go to the Hub and reload the Hub ALDB just to make sure we are current.
See if your leak sensor is in one of the records. You will have to use the “Target” field to look for the LeadSensor’s Insteon address.
Go back to the list of Instoen devices in the Insteon panel and press the “+” button in the lower right corner. Don’t fill in any of the fields, just press “Ok”.
Press and hold the set button on the leak sensor
See if that helps the two to link rather than using the Hub’s set button.
