I am looking to find a way to mimic native Indigodomo functionality.
Context: I m using the PLM 2413U as the Hub2 is too slow for my setup.
In Indigo you can setup a default dim level by device that trigger/actions/scenes default to unless explicitly specified in such.
Can this contrail be exposed or mimicked in HA?
Thanks
i’m a long time former user of indigo myself. i also have a 2413U usb-attached to my home assistant machine (home-assistant yellow).
i’ll assume that when you say “in indigo…” you’re referring mainly to using insteon devices from within indigo.
insteon dimming devices have a default on-level. they also have a default ramp rate. these parameters are used when a generic “turn on” command is sent to the device. for a given insteon device, you can set these two parameters “locally” through a sequence of button pushes. (see device instructions). you can also set these parameters over the wire by sending commands via the 2413U to the device.
this can be done within indigo (i won’t cover details here). it can also be done within home assistant. from home assistant, bring up the device view, then select the button with the gear icon that says “visit” next to it. this will take you to the insteon configuration view and will show you the “properties” tab for the configuration of the selected dimmer device. from there, you’ll see a set of configurable insteon device parameters including “on_level” (a value between 0-255) and “ramp_rate_in_seconds”. you can select these parameters and change them, after which you have to select “write to device” from the three-dots menu in the top right corner to commit the changes.
there’s one other glitch which i’ve been experiencing for a while now with the HASS insteon integration and that is in the little dialog box that pops up when you change the parameter value, there are two buttons at the bottom (just below where you enter the value) that should show up, but due to a bug (?) are invisible. for me, if i hover the mouse over the button locations, i can just barely see the outline of the button locations. so by trial and error you can figure out that there are two buttons there, one is essentially “ok” and the other is “cancel”. obviously you have to find and click the “ok” button to change the parameter value.
hope this helps.
