I have searched and been unable to find a solution. I am slowly converting over my combination of Hubitat and ISY994i to Home Assistant.
Currently all of the ISY devices are exposed to HA through the ISY integration.
I have two zigbee lamps I am trying to tie to a Insteon Switch.
I had it working successfully for a couple of weeks, then it started with the behavior of one of the lamps (the left bar lamp) will not turn on with the insteon switch. The right lamp turns on properly.
When i look at the dashboard the left lamp shows on. When I toggle the lamp to off from the dashboard the lamp comes on briefly and then right back off.
I removed both lamps and the automation and re paired the lamps and re created the automation and it worked again for a few days then started with the same behavior.
I am sure I am missing something easy but I cannot for the life of me figure out what.
Here is the automation
alias: Turn On Bar Lamps
description: “”
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id:
light.weight_room_switch_fixture
from: “off”
to: “on”
condition: []
action:
When I turn the left lamp on and off from the dashboard it works correctly. Also when toggling the automation to off, the left lamp behaves the same as from the dashboard, the left lamp turns on then right back off.
Well I never really found a fix, but I was able to put in a workaround.
I added a off then on command to the automation on the left lamp only. It now works reliably if somewhat weird, with the flicker of the off on command. Hope this helps someone else.

That ended up as also not being reliable. What does seem to work so far is to put the turn on command for both lamps into a scene and then use a automation from the insteon switch to activate the scene. Turning off the lamps works reliably with a direct automation.
