I am a new user trying to configure a Insteon Hub 2242-222 using OpenHAB 1.8. When using the demo house, I configured the openhab.cfg to use the insteonhub binding:
insteonhub:host=192.168.0.8
I added a LampLink Dimmer #2457D2 to the demo.items file:
Switch Sw1 “Living Roomt light” (FF_Bath, Lights) {insteonhub=“device=27.23.97, bindingType=switch”}
This works perfectly.
The Wiki states you can use the plm binding starting in 1.8, so I tried that as I couldn’t find any info on configuring the motion sensor using the hub binding and that is the end goal. I changed the openhab.cfg to use the insteonplm binding:
insteonplm:port_0=/hub2/UserName;Password:@192.168.0.8:25105,poll_time=1000
I used the account I set up to control the hub as this model does not have a username and password on the box.
I then set up the same dimmer:
Switch Sw1 “Living Room Light” (FF_Bath, Lights) { insteonplm = “device=27.23.97:F00.00.19#switch” }
I also tried F00.00.01 and F00.00.02.
This does not work. The logs look like it connects and communicates:

But the switch will not operate.
This raises many questions.
Will my hub (2242-222) work with the insteonplm binding? If so, where is my configuration issue?
If not, will the insteonhub binding work with motion, water, and garage door sensors?
Thank you in advance for any help and guidance.
