I've been trying to migrate MH to the newer version. I'm uncertain about configuring Insteon. 1) Is it required that the .mht file be called "Insteon.mht"? Can there be other ".mht" files? 2) Is it required that (some minimal number of) Scenes and Links be defined, or will the the web buttons work w\o scenes or link? Thanks, Rick |

There is no minimum number of scenes or links required. But if there is nothing associated with a web button, nothing will happen. |

In the previous version of MH I was using, I could simply define the device like the X10 entries (no scenes or links), and a web button would be created and function. It sounds as though I need to do something more with the current version. I'm not clear on exactly what that "more" is. I was reading the Insteon wiki pages and I just couldn't get it into my thick skull what the minimum config required to get simple web page (and scriptable) "on\off\dim" functionality. Rick |

I have a guess what you are looking for. If you just add an insteon device, you will see it in the web interface, but it will only have on and off listed as options, although a dimmable device can do much more. It is an open issue that has not been fixed yet. But if you want to define the states that appear on the webpage you can create a user code file and use the following code as a template: $porchlight2->set_states(('off', '20', '40', '60', '80', 'on')); $yardlight3->set_states(('off', '20', '40', '60', '80', 'on')); |

Minimum Insteon config for a PLM with a LampLinc is: INSTEON_PLM, PLM INSTEON_LAMPLINC, 23.53.75, entry_lamp, All_Lights(1;1) You should then have voice commands for $entry_lamp in the web interface. |

Thanks. One question. What do the numbers\items in parenthesis after "All_Lights" designate? And is that a semi-colon separating them. I tried to find explanatory examples on the wiki, but failed.

The parenthesis and the contents are entirely optional. For details see: http://misterhouse.wikispaces.com/Floor+Plan On Mon, Apr 22, 2013 at 10:50 AM, Rick Bolen(gm) <ric...@gm...>wrote: > Thanks.
