Description |
| id |
String. The ID of the Insteon device to
send commands to. |

standard 0 to 255 for Insteon Direct commands. Add 1000 to the cmd1
value to send Group Cleanup commands. |

Usage
This function is nearly identical to the
ph_insteonwithret function except it is also capable of returning extended
data. Some Insteon standard commands return an extended data message so
this function will be able to return this data whereas the ph_insteonwithret
command ONLY returns the
CMD2 value.
Examples
The following examples demonstrate typical syntax/usage for this function.
ph_insteonwithret ("MID
CHANDELIER",3,2)
The above example sends a standard Device Text String
Request. This particular Insteon command will respond with an extended data
message which will be returned along with CMD2 as a
string.
