Hello everyone.
For some reason, when a device is not responding, it will send Homeseer the Off / Close command.
i have a lot of virtual devices that i use for the amazon echo and the hstouch setup but when the device changes (like using its switch), the virtual device doesnt change.
so i created a lot of events like:
if "Alexa - Virtual device kitchen shades" Changes to "On"
Or if device changes and becomes "Kitchen Shades" to "Open"
THEN:
change device
Alexa - Virtual device kitchen shades to "On"
Kitchen Shades to "Open"
and Do not re-run event for 3 seconds.
That way i can tell Alexa to "Turn On" Kitchen shades (So annoying - integrate "Open/Close" already) and the shades will open.
but if i open the shades using it's switch, Alexa's virtual device will stay off.
now when homeseer gets "this device is not responding for the 5th try" it will send a close command and then the above rule will run and the shades will close.
יונ-27 08:37:53 Device Control Device: Galia Shades to Close (0)
יונ-27 08:37:53 Event Event Trigger "I. Shades Events Shades - Galias Room - Close"
יונ-27 08:37:53 Insteon Did not receive a response from Galia Shades (2C.7E.37). Try #5 failed.
is this possible to change
thanks
