InsteonPLM and 2477D Switch Issues

Setup, Configuration and Use Items & Sitemaps

Hi Everyone, thanks for any suggestions here.

I am running OH 1.8.3 on a Ubuntu 14.04 x64 machine. I have a 2413U connected to the box over USB.

I have everything very basic at the moment, just trying to get a single switch to work remotely, then I planned on getting more fancy with rules and such. Problem is, commands I send to the switch through OH seem to be ignored by the switch. In debug logging I can see this occur…

Item: TestDimmer got command 100
00:26:28.606 [DEBUG] [o.o.b.i.i.device.InsteonDevice:241  ] - processing command 100 features: 4

00:26:28.608 [DEBUG] [o.o.b.i.i.device.InsteonDevice:459  ] - qe taken off direct: GenericDimmer(1:3:8) OUT:Cmd:0x62|toAddress:30.AD.66|messageFlags:0x0F=DIRECT:3:3|command1:0x11|command2:0xFF|

I have updated my InsteonPLM binding and Serial binding to the latest version on cloudbees.

If I fire up insteon-terminal I am able to pull the db from both the PLM and the dimmer without issue. I can see they are both linked properly. I can even issue the command livingroom.on() and the light will flip right on no questions asked.

I have read forums for two days trying different suggestions without success. Here is additional information that might help someone to point me in the right direction.

I feel I have checked everything that could possible be checked, yet still no joy. I would be so thankful if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks so much!

Can you post a full debug log? The startup messages (does it see the modem, does it read the modem db etc) would be most interesting. That your post doesn’t include the line where the msg is actually sent (just where it’s taken off the waiting-to-be-sent-queue) makes me nervous.

Please use oracle java (there should be an output to chose one of the alternatives, please chose 2 (I think you have to sudo this)

Great news. I set the Java to Oracle and it worked perfectly.
Insteon-terminal craps out when starting it but i just edited the bash
script and put the path to the jdk version and it works perfectly again.

Thanks so much for the guidance!
