Setting LED brightness level on dimmers

[dcdelong]

I could use some direction on setting the LED brightness on dimmer (want to dim it out at night). Here is what I am doing :

Jan-17 10:47:33 AM Error Running script(2) &hs.plugin("Insteon").setdevicesetting "3C.D8.BC:1","LED Brightness","0", init error: Syntax error
Jan-17 10:47:33 AM Event Running script statement immediately: &hs.plugin("Insteon").setdevicesetting "3C.D8.BC:1","LED Brightness","0"
Jan-17 10:47:33 AM Event Event Trigger "Test Control LED Brightness"

Not sure of the correct hs.plugin syntax in HS3 and can't seem to suss it out.

Any direction or script snippet would be greatly appreciated

here is a sample of getting the current light level. the syntax is about the same for using the "setdevicesetting" minus the assignment of a return value.

Sub Main(parm as object)

Dim LightlevelStatus As Integer
LightlevelStatus = hs.pluginFunction("Insteon","","getdevicesetting", new object(){14.1A.AF","Current Light Level"})

End Sub

Thank you!

Here is what worked :

Sub Main(parm as object)
hs.pluginFunction("Insteon","","SetDeviceSetting", new object(){"3C.D8.BC","LED Brightness","20"})
End Sub

Dcdelong if you don't mind would you post your script on how you did this . I like the idea of dimming the switch LED brightness at night..

Simple script line here :

Sub Main(parm as object)
'hs.pluginFunction("Insteon","","SetDeviceSetting", new object(){"3C.D8.BC","LED Brightness","0"})
hs.pluginFunction("Insteon","","SetDeviceOpFlag", new object(){"3C.D8.BC","LED","Off"})
End Sub

The first line dims to lowest (can still see), the second turns completely off.

I have a more complicated script that leverages the notion by spinning through all the devices and taking mass action. But this is where the heavy lifting is done. It is the test script I used to figure it out.

I appreciate you sharing I certainly will try the script this weekend... I want to lower the led indicator lights in the evening....


It's amazing how much light they give off especially if you live in the country where there isn't ambient city lights or neighbors flood lights shining in your house...
