I was trying to do an insteon group for a lamp. The goal was to have a button on a mini remote trigger a lamp to a particular on level.
After many attempts, I got a pair of buttons on the remote that kinda gives me what I need.
I created a group with the mini remote button 1 as the controller and the lamp module as the responder with an on level of 20% and ramp rate of .5s
When I press the on button, the lamp snaps instantly to the on level. if I press and hold from there, it ramps up. if I tap off, it snaps to off. The ramp rate doesn't seem to be working.
The homeseer device for the lamp module isn't updating when the lamp is turned on by the group on command. (or group bright/dim either)
What I want it to tap the on button and have it ramp up to the group on level at the group ramp rate. I'd like for a tap of the on button to then ramp it to full (from the group on level).
When I edit the group, the setting for the group controller does not persist. It always comes up as none whenever I edit the group.
The lamp module locked up several times as I was programming it to try various settings. When It was locked up, the programming would fail, and it wouldn't respond to any commands, not even it's local buttons. I found that it locked up during link programming most of the time when the lamp was plugged into it. If I unplugged the lamp while programming, it did not lock up.
I also noticed a very weird phenomenon. I have a quartz halogen torchiere lamp in the same room. This lamp has no smarts. It's literally a 300W quartz halogen lamp wired to a plug. There's no insteon module on this lamp. Whenever I transmit any insteon signal, this lamp will have a bright pulse. I can actually tell when the packets are sending based on the pulses of this light. I think i'm going to pull out my o-scope tomorrow and watch what the voltage that outlet is doing as the insteon commands are going thru.
