Hello!
I am new to openHAB, and am trying to setup a SwitchLinc dimmer switch that is controlled by the Insteon Smart Hub. To ensure the setup was working, I downloaded Insteon’s android app and set up the dimmer switch, and it worked just fine, as I controlled it on my phone. However, I can not seem to make it work with OpenHAB. I looked at some guides and other threads, but I can not seem to figure it out. Here is my items file:
thenameyouwish.items
Dimmer SwitchLinc "Basement Half 1" {insteonplm="20.A5.DA:F00.00.01#dimmer"}
And here is my sitemap:
thenameyouwish.sitemap
sitemap demo label="Main Menu" {
Frame label="Date" {
Text item=Date
}
Frame label="Basement" {
Text label="Basement 1" icon="1stfloor" {
Switch item=SwitchLinc
}
}
}
And finally, here is my Insteon Binding in the openhab.cfg file:
############################### Insteon PLM Binding ###################################
#
# The insteon PLM controller port, one for each modem or hub.
# You can have multiple ports, but that has never been tested, use at your own peril.
#
# examples of valid port configurations for serial or usb modems:
#
# Linux, with serial port symlinked to /dev/insteon:
# insteonplm:port_0=/dev/insteon
#
# Linux, with plain old serial modem:
# insteonplm:port_0=/dev/ttyS0
#
# Linux, with usb based PLM modem:
# insteonplm:port_0=/dev/ttyUSB0
#
# Windows, with serial/usb modem on COM1:
# insteonplm:port_0=COM1
#
# to connect to an Insteon Hub2 (the 2014 version) on port 25105 with
# a poll interval of 1000ms = 1sec, use the following line. Use the login
# and password that is printed on the label on the bottom of the hub,
# NOT the Insteon online login and password!
#
# insteonplm:port_0=/hub2/myusername:mypassword@192.168.x.xx:25105,poll_time=1000
In the above, “myusername” and “mypassword” is acually the username and password on the lable underneath the Insteon Hub, and the IP is the Hub’s IP address (I just blocked it out for safty). Everything else is exactly as it is in the designer.
Finally, here is the log:

I would like to note that in the log, it said my device “20.A5.DA” could not be found. This is my dimmer switch.
Yes, I copied and pasted lots of my sitemap from the demo.sitemap file, just to see what I was missing. Anyway, what did I forget? All help is appreciated, and I apologize that I am a noob. Like I said, I did look in other threads, but I could not find my exact problem.
Once again, thanks to everyone.
