I'm trying to lengthen the time from the On sent from the motion sensor to the light to the time the Off is sent. HS4. Could you set it in HS3 and Insteon plug in? I've ordered a Insteon Hub and was told I can set it though that but seems like I should be able to adjust in the plug in. Thoughts?

You shouldn't need an event. I'm not on HS4 yet, but in HS3 you could set the Timeout for both the old motion sensor, and the Motion Sensor II, from the Insteon plugin config pages.HomeSeer 3, Insteon, Z-wave, USB-UIRT, Google Hub/Chromecasts/Smart Speakers, Foscam cameras, Amcrest camera, RCA HSDB2a doorbell
Plugins: BLLAN, BLOccupied, BLUSBUIRT, Chromecast, Insteon, Jon00 Homeseer/Echo Skill Helper, Jon00 DB Charting, MediaController, NetCAM, PHLocation2, Pushover 3P, weatherXML, Z-wave

FYI because this confused me at first: For a battery powered device like the motion sensor, when you change a setting using the plugin, the new settings only get downloaded when the device sends its first "ON" command. That's because the battery powered Insteon devices only "listen" for a short period of time after they transmit something (to extend battery life). So you make the setting changes in the plugin, and it waits for the device to send an ON command at which time it updates the sensor with the new settings. You will notice that the plugin screen shows the settings the sensor has, not your updated settings. Once the sensor is updated, the plugin shows the new settings.

Does putting the device into linking mode prevent the wait time? I feel like that's what I've always done and don't recall needing to wait, but I could be misremembering.
