Hello everyone. New HA user here (since the downfall of Insteon).
I want to create an Insteon scene using HA that will control multiple buttons on the same keypad. I can create the controller ALDB in the hub that controls the device. However, HA will only let me create ONE responder ALDB per group (scene), when I need one for each button on that device.
If I create them all at the same time, they do appear individually in the ALDB list, but after doing a Write to Device, it will only show one. And looking at them before they are written shows them all identical. Creating the second entry overwrites the first, making them all match so HA only writes one entry.
If I create one and Write to Device, trying to add another just modifies the existing one instead of creating a new one.
Tried via the Insteon Control Panel, select device, ALDB page, adding new. Also tried via Services insteon.add_all_link. Neither worked for me.
What I want: (Device Mode Group Target data1 data2 data3)
- HUB cont 103 KPL 0 0 0
- KPL resp 103 HUB 255 26 1
- KPL resp 103 HUB 255 26 4
- KPL resp 103 HUB 255 26 5
I can only create ONE of items 2, 3, and 4 so I can only control one button on the keypad via this scene.
This IS possible by manually linking kepads (not through the hub). I have one keypad button that controls 4 buttons on another keypad. I also set this up in the Insteon App before it’s untimely demise. So, it seems like a limitation in HA, unless I’m missing something…
