Using Insteon Integration, Venstar Insteon Thermostat 2491T v.95 and EZFlora Sprinkler Controller not showing

The 2491T Thermostat, address 21D4C8, is showing in 7 places in the insteon_devices.json, but it doesn’t show up in the Insteon Configuration list. It was previously working fine with the ISY Integration, but with UDI ending support of the ISY in favor of new hardware, I am moving everything over to direct HA control with a USB PLM and retiring UDI gear. Insteon Dimmer Switches, Plug-In Dimmers, Motion Sensors and Smoke Bridge are showing and appear to be working in HA with the Insteon Integration. (UDI does sell a new hardware device, the EISY, that will also run HA on it, but I already have a dedicated computer running HAOS, so I’d rather not buy yet another controller. If I wasn’t running HAOS on a dedicated computer, I’d definitely look at the new EISY.)

Help? teharris1? Anybody?

Unfortunately the Venstar Insteon Thermostat 2491T v.95 and EZIO devices are not currently supported. I have a plan for the EzIO devices but not the Venstar. Do you have any documentation for the 2491T?

All I have for the 2491T is the Owner’s Manual, available here: http://cache.insteon.com/documentation/2491txe-en.pdf

The “1E” is single day programmable, while the “7E” is programmable for seven days, otherwise they are the same.

Do you know what the device category and subcategory are (cat, subcat)? Unfortunately, it is not possible to support an Insteon device with just the owner’s manual.I would need the developer’s notes. I may be able to find it if someone else has built a solution for it.

Hi teharris1. Any update on the EZIO devices? I’m helping my brother update to the HA world and he has 2 of these (a 4 and an 8 relay). All his other Insteon devices are working, and these are showing up in the links and json file, just not on the insteon list or dashboard obviously.

I’m new to Insteon so I just did a massive digest of how it all works and created the necessary links but still stuck.

Thanks for all your work on this. Went through your whole history. It’s been quite a journey. I’ve told him if it doesn’t start working, we can replay is with a z-wave module that will do the same thing, but he hates replacing things that aren’t broken.

Hi, Any progress on adding the sprinkler controllers?

In my instance the Insteon integration saw and added my Compacta EZRain Sprinkler Controller as a device, but with no entities. Am I mistaken in assuming there should be entities for the relays?

Thanks in advance, where’s the container for buying you a ‘coffee’? Your work is VERY appreciated!
