Insteon Devices Turned on - Change to 99%...solved

[thetaz01]

so this is something new, its been happening for a little while not, this is the first time i had to troubleshoot
if i turn on a light device (Insteon Light)
and use the ON toggle, weather its, on the web page, via a HSTOUCH screen, anywhere, it turns on, THEN reverts to 99%
so whats driving me nuts, is my hstouch screens DONT show lights as being on.. since i have the tracking set to Toggle on/off, and when it reverts to 99% it DOESNT see it as ON!

[mnsandler]

can you post a pic of the status/graphics tab of the device in question

[thetaz01]

Hey Mark so
just wanted to mention a couple things.
1, this happens on ALL light devices, NOT just one device, and it does not happen with switch devices..
2, this was happening on HS3, i JUST literally upgraded this morning to HS4, thinking it had to do with the HS software, and its still happening on HS4..
ALSO not realizing you havent 100% migrated to HS4 compatibility,
fred

[mnsandler]

this was a known issue in hs3 with hstouch. HS3 didn't like having multiple controls (a button and slider) that contained an overlapping value)

I have changed the status/graphics in my (in progress) hs4 plugin to account for this shortcoming.

[mnsandler]

you can try the following fix

stop the plugin

edit the insteon.ini
add the following line to the [config] section

Switch99toOn=True

save and close, and restart the plugin

Hey Mark
Ok so i added that line, and it appears in the cfg file
however, it still seems to display 99%
i stopped the plug in, made the change, saved and restarted the plug in.
i also reopened the file to confirm my change stuck.
it did move it alphabetical order BUT its still there
let me know
Just to confirm the QUOTE above shows HTML Coding, I just added it as follows
.....
NumRetries=5
SortDeviceLinks=0
Switch99toOn=True
UseLocation2=0
....

so if you slide the dimmer/slider all the way to the right, the status doesn't change to On?

this is what was supposed to happen

Correct If i slide the slider all the way to the right it goes to 99%
See picture

In addition, if i press the ON Button it TOO, puts it to 99% ,, NOT ON

[mnsandler]

Not sure why the ON button isn't turning the light On to 100%. Your above stat/graphics definitions look correct. please compare with other devices just to make sure.

'm not making any changes to the hs3 plugin in support of HS4. We'll have to wait for hs4 plugin which should be out in beta very very soon.

Just FYI, this is happening TO EVERYONE of my light devices..
also, after upgrading i am back home today (Was out of town for a few days) and the inteson IS working about 30%.. it is the worst i have seen since ive been running this
i am getting TONS of these in the log

PLease help!!
Do you know when your Plug in will be 100% HS4? i might roll back, to hs3.. to ISSUE i tried to fix with HS4, DID not fix, and just made my system TOTALLY unreliable

if you reboot your hs server, is the plugin able to connect to the PLM? if so, run a reset and reprogram interface from the plugin config page.

I've rebooted a few times, and it DOES communicate, from time to time, its just Super unreliable..
please see log entries of retries, etc..
The commands eventually WORK, and lights go on and off, BUT it takes several seconds to a minute
Do you recommend me going BACK to HS3?
i took backups!

[mnsandler]

were you able to run the reset and reprogram on the interface?

if you didn't have any of these problems in hs3, then yes, rollback.

[mnsandler]

i can't fix the 99% issue in hs3 using hstouch
