    you should be able to run the event manually by clicking the person icon (top right in my pic) to verify the action works

    for more help with events see this forum

    Did that. Tried to turn just one light on at 3 pm - didn't work. Troubleshooting ideas? Reset/restart everything??

    you just need to select the device from the Add device dropdown, then click the save button to the right.

    Connected remotely to try and set this up. I don't see the same menu/options that you have. For example "Set Device" isn't there, etc.:

    Group conditions will apply to every event in the group. That's a "Group" of events, not to be confused with a "Group" of Insteon Devices. Instead you should put your sunset condition directly in the "Trigger" field. Example:

    instead of controller individual devices, create a plugin group and then control the group, you will get a more consistent response

    Insteon Events not working...solved

    I installed the Hometroller PI + MNS Insteon plugin. I can control switches (outside lights) manually and have set up several Groups and Events, but nothing happens. Is there something 'special' I need to do to get Events working with my Insteon hub? Will restarting and resetting everything help?
