Syncing 2 Dual-Band LampLinc

[steveng]

I have 2 Dual-Band LampLinc that I am trying to turn off/on when either is on/off
Both are set up with links to each other and have Sync linked responder device checked.

Frontdoor Front Lamp
Device Type: Dual-Band LampLinc
Firmware Version:

Resume dim mode: False
Default local on level: 100%

Looks like you have everything setup correctly. it seems like neither lamplinc is responding correctly to the sync command the plugin is sending

I did notice the Frontdoor Front Lamp doesn't have a firmware version listed, this could be an issue.

what happens if you control either lamplinc manually? does the opposite light come on?

can you tell me the devicetype value for each lamplinc? you will need to look in the insteon.ini for this

[steveng]

Mark,

The buttons on the devices work they both turn off and on when manually pushed on each.

One last thing to try:
create an event that runs the insteon action "Light on at ramprate", select one of the lamplincs as the device, set some On values, save and test that action

see if the selected lamplincs actually comes on as expected to the settings

I dont have a lamplinc w/ fw43 to test this. I tried it on my lamplinc with fw 41 and it worked.

[steveng]

I think you found something

IF This event is MANUALLY triggered
Then Set Frontdoor Front Lamp On Level 100% at Rate 6 Sec.

IF This event is MANUALLY triggered
Then Set Living Room Lamp On Level 100% at Rate 6 Sec.

This did not work for either one and no action in log
(also all motion sensors post double but we will save that for another day)

change the logging in the plugin to Detailed and retest. Post a log snippet of the hs log entries from the event transaction

[steveng]

This does not turn lamps on but it does change status in HS to on.

the lamplinc is responding like it executed the command but in actuality, it didnt. this explains why the hs status is getting updated.

lets try this: change the event action to "insteon send device command" and set the parameters to 34 and FC. then retest to see if the lamplinc responds

[steveng]

IF This event is MANUALLY triggered
Then Send Living Room Lamp CMD1: 34, CMD2: FC

Turns on only Living Room Lamp (HS and actual lamp)

[mnsandler]

ok. so that's good to hear. I can fix the plugin based on this information. I'll post an note here once i have a new beta for you to test.

[mnsandler]

i posted beta 3.0.7.18 to the beta section of the Updater. Please test and report back

[steveng]

That worked they both turn on/off via any method I test (alexa, HS, manually, etc...)

There is still a ghost that will turn them on then off when I use other insteon switches, I will capture a log with detail as the normal log only shows them turn on and then off after another switch is turned off. Is there possible a group code being sent out they pick up that no other device uses (these are the only 2 plug in dimmer models I have)?

Thanks for the help
Steven G

[mnsandler]

if the two lamplincs are in a group with a controller device, the plugin will try to update them as well. if the controller goes off, the lamplincs will go off
