Ok, this worked great in PH1 versions. It didn't matter if I used the primary or secondary switch, LOCAL8 showed the correct address of the primary switch for me so I could keep xLobby updated. Now, either switch, it's returning the PLM address only. This has broken my xLobby updating macro. It's fine when I control it via xLobby initially because I actually see 3 trigger checks ... one reporting the PLM id, and one reporting the primary and one the secondary (in a linked situation, 2 triggers in a single switch situation). Anyone else seeing this? from xLobby, I'm controlling a group or the switch directly in a single switch setup. However, using the physical switch, regardless of single or multi, it seems I only get the PLM id

Cicero,

Based upon your description, Im assuming you're using the Insteon Device Chg trigger. I just ran some checks on my system and verified against the source code and this should not be changed. I used a crosslinked group and ran the trigger when the slave device is locally switched and ran the trigger when the master device is locally triggered. In both instances, I was given the address of the master device in LOCAL8.

In looking through the code, to get the situation you describe, it would appear that maybe one or more of the links between the devices may not be in PowerHome properly (the links may actually exist between the switches and would therefore work, but if PH does not have the link in its database then it won't fire the trigger properly).

Can you post what the actual trigger values you're using are? Alot changed between PH1 and PH2 so its possible that Im missing something but I'll need to know the exact trigger values you're using so I can trace the code a little better.

Thanks,

Dave.

Dave,

I followed the steps you and others otlined for going from a PLC to PLM. I was just able to correct this by clearng the PLM and loading full.

Cicero,

Excellent...yep that would do it as well. The PLM didnt have the address of the switches in its internal database so would not have "heard" the commands which would therefore not have fired the trigger to check the links.

Good catch because I wouldnt have thought to suggest that. Glad to hear its working though.

Dave.

So just "copy and paste" from the PLC to the PLM list wouldn't load everything (which is what I did)? Oh well, it's working now.
