Hello all,
I just transtioned from the old Insteon binding (1.14.0) to the new one (2.5.8).
I was able to get everything running OK, except for my X10 switches.
I found that as stated in the binding documentation, real Insteon hardware is getting discovered automatically, but X10 devices are not. From there, I assumed that X10 devices need to be manually entered in my insteon things file. Here is how I did that:
Bridge insteon:network:home [port="/hub/192.168.2.12:9761"] {
Thing device C1 [address="C.1", productkey="X00.00.01"] {
Channels: Type switch : switch []}
Thing device C2 [address="C.2", productkey="X00.00.01"] {
Channels: Type switch : switch []}
Thing device D1 [address="D.1", productkey="X00.00.01"] {
Channels: Type switch : switch []}
}
After restarting the system, I find that those three devices now appear in the list of known things in the Paper UI. However, they are annotated with the mention “Initialized-Handler configuration pending”. All three are shown as “Insteon Devices”. Through the Paper UI, I can activate the “switch” channel, but I cannot edit the thing properties .The product key is not shown there (even though it was defined in the config file) but when I try to select that key in the Paper UI interface, my choice is rejected as causing a conflict.
I tried adding items such as the following in my items file using the switch channels shown in the paper UI:
Switch lumieres_ext "Lumieres exterieures" [ "Switchable" ] {channel="insteon:device:home:C2:switch"}
And to use those switches in the sitemap:
Switch item=lumieres_ext label="Lumieres exterieures"
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the error message mentioned above, nothing happens when I try to trigger the switches.
Can anyone help me with this?
Many thanks in advance.
