[Release] Insteon HTTP switch/dimmer

User ATOM text editor. It will point out errors in your config.json file by highlighting them in a different color.

Should do, but it's possible you could be missing some dependencies. Probably not since it starts without an error.

There are two similar version of this server. One has the websocket the other does not.

So if you npm installed the above server you should be good.

Several moving parts. Once everything is set right install of devices is a breeze. Get some rest.

If you think you might be missing dependencies, install them via

npm -g install home-controller and also install npm -g install express

@peter_aquino So sorry. We're trying to create a driver to the Insteon Keypad and it looks like something was inadvertently broken in the lasted parent driver build posted in Chris' repo. Please replace your Insteon WS parent driver code with the code pasted below and your child devices should now auto populate now after you click Initialize and then Save Device.

Ouch. Will check it out when I get home. My apologies.

Thanks for the updated driver code. I ended up wiping the pi clean and starting from scratch but it works now and I got the parent to recognize the 1 child device I configured. I've noticed that sometimes when I slide the dimmer, the light adjusts to my desired level but then the slider springs back up to 100% (but doesn't affect the light level). If I adjust it again, it will again adjust the dimmer to desired level and then spring back to 100%. It doesn't happen all the time, but often enough to be annoying. Have you ever noticed this behavior?

Yes there is a bug I the insteon server. When I get home I'll direct you at the line of code to fix.

Btw thanks for trying it out. Sorry for the troubles.

Oh you mean in the Insteon app? I wouldn't recommend relying on using the dimming control from the Insteon app while you're using this setup. It can work as you've seen, but it's not going to work smoothly while both things are hitting the hub at once. Not a lot of capacity in the Insteon hub for that. ON/OFF should be fine.

Update to status in HE are about 5 seconds too, so keep that in mind. I would suggest if you want to dim from an app, use HE Dashboard.

I'm referring to the HE dashboard. I never use the Insteon app.

Thanks. I'll do some testing with it on my end too.

think i found a bug in the insteonserver.js file. I was having some issues until I changed this line at 357

from this

message = {name: foundDevice.name, id: foundDevice.deviceID, deviceType: foundDevice.deviceType, state: 100}

to this

message = {name: foundDevice.name, id: foundDevice.deviceID, deviceType: foundDevice.deviceType, state: level}

Once I did that everything started working perfectly. Thank you again for doing this.

This was the fix I posted to the author.

I recall that. I think the old line got put back in there by mistake. Are my changes for the leak sensor still there? NM, I see that it is indeed there in our versions, but won't be there from Scott's repo.

Can you confirm; It was just the line with state=100 correct?

In the Insteon Server you linked above, that line isn't at 357. Are you referring to line 362 (where the code is handling a command==11 for a dimmer/lightbulb device)?

The line he posted. The line numbers may not correspond exactly if you have more spaces between lines. If you use the Atom text editor, there's a find function that will highlight it.

That exact line exists for 2 commands, 11 and 12. After looking at the code more it makes sense that I would only change it for an 11.

Just the line the ends in state=100

Sorry. I understand what you mean now. I changed it in both places. One is for fast on and the other is for ON. I'm fairly certain both have to change.

Fast on should probally always be 100 however using the level variable will make sure it shows what is reported by the device.
