Insteon IOLinc polling returns wrong status?

This looks similar to an issue somebody had about a year ago at Insteon IO Linc Garage Door troubles. @Bernd_Pfrommer replied with the following:

It’s the same kit I am using as well, probably bought some time in 2016.

Have a look at this discussion:

Somebody claims that it makes a difference about the state which the I/O linc module was (open vs closed) when you linked it. Sounds strange to me, but maybe worth a try.

Maybe also good to look at the lights on the iolinc to see if it thinks it’s open or closed. There is some mention of that in the above thread.

@craigh modified the message handlers and flipped the open and close handlers around and it appears to fix the problem.

@craigh

The IOLinc light is on when the contacts are together which I believe is correct. But querying the status when the contacts are together returns:

gdOpener.getContactStatus()
sent msg: OUT:Cmd:0x62|toAddress:3D.E5.56|messageFlags:0x0F=DIRECT:3:3|command1:0x19|command2:0x01|
>>> modem got msg: IN:Cmd:0x50|fromAddress:3D.E5.56|toAddress:30.DC.6C|messageFlags:0x2B=ACK_OF_DIRECT:3:2|command1:0x00|command2:0x01|
IN:Cmd:0x50|fromAddress:3D.E5.56|toAddress:30.DC.6C|messageFlags:0x2B=ACK_OF_DIRECT:3:2|command1:0x00|command2:0x01|
contact state = OPEN

I had one of these IOLincs hooked up to another house I had which was running and ISY, and the contacts also showed OPEN when the contacts are together.

For now I have had to flip the following, and compile the binding myself. Obviously this doesn’t work for the masses. I’m stumped what I can do.

<message-handler cmd=“0x11” group=“1”>OpenedContactHandler</message-handler>
<message-handler cmd=“0x13” group=“1”>ClosedContactHandler</message-handler>

@trav70 can you try and create your own device type and see if it fixes the problem? There are instructions at: Insteon PLM Binding · openhab/openhab1-addons Wiki · GitHub
