Hi, just got mh up and running. out of the box, using any of the sample web interfaces, i can turn on/off my 2 lights, but no dimming functions are accepted. the devices seem to accept the commands (no errors), but nothing happens, if for example i select 30%, -40 or 5%, the light just goes to 100%. not sure what i am doing wrong. here's what i have setup and log outputs, any help appreciated.

Also, I think the insteon code does not accept all the diming syntaxes that X10 does, but "40%" should work. Once you fixed IPLL, try something like $mbr_lamp3->set("40%"); Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.

Definitely confusing and technically, that's correct. But, I doubt that's actually the problem. Instead, a more likely situation is that mh hasn't yet figured out the devcat which it tries to do by auto-scanning. This practice is entirely phased out in the branch, but you're stuck with it in trunk. The default is to assume that the device is simply an on and off controlled device. Try "faking" (or forcing) a devcat of 0101 using the following: IPLD, 13.5D.75, Bedroom_2, Bedrooms|Br_2|All_Lights, PLM, 0101 > Also, I think the insteon code does not accept all the diming syntaxes that > X10 does, but "40%" should work. correct. > Once you fixed IPLL, try something like > $mbr_lamp3->set("40%"); > > Marc |

wow, thanks for the qic replies and help, its working !!!! - changing to IPLL did not help - "faking" (or forcing) a devcat of 0101 - Got the Lights to accept the dimming commands Thanks a million, Johnny > Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 13:17:11 -0400 > From: gr...@li... > To: mis...@li... > Subject: Re: [mh] mh up and running with insteon, but no dimming > > On 8/30/2011 1:08 PM, Marc MERLIN wrote: > > On Tue, Aug 30, 2011 at 12:59:37PM -0400, Johnny Handsome wrote: > >> > >> Hi, > >> > >> just got mh up and running. out of the box, using any of the sample web interfaces, i can turn on/off my 2 lights, but no dimming functions are accepted. the devices seem to accept the commands (no errors), but nothing happens, if for example i select 30%, -40 or 5%, the light just goes to 100%. > >> not sure what i am doing wrong. > >> > >> here's what i have setup and log outputs, any help appreciated.
