I am running into a challenge. For a long time I had my ISY setup and working well. I have a 8 Key Insteon and a Fanlinc that control several fans. 4 of the buttons on the keypad are configured for Off,Low,Med, and high for the fan. If I hit say the low button, it lights up and the fan off button turns off. Same goes for the other fan button. The scenes set the other buttons to off so only 1 button remains lit indicating the fan speed. I also have Alexa linked and when she turns the fan to any sitting the lights on the keypad match. Now the Home Assistant problem. I am running HA 2021.4.3 and have an intergration with my ISY. HA picked up as a switch. Example: entity: switch.office_fan_high If I click on a button with that entity it does turn the fan on High and the Button on the keypad does light correctly, however the matching buttons for Off,Low and Med on my HA dashboard also indicate as ON in HA. If I wanted to switch to Med, I must first turn off fan and then click on the Med for it to work, and again all buttons on my dashboard indicate as ON. I tried to use a Scene in HA but even the scene all 4 settings for Off, Low, Med and High toggle together. Has anyone figured out a way to get the fan operating where HA can both set the fan motor to the correct setting and also set the button on the Insteon keypad as well as any dashboard buttons to match up?

The reason I have control and status both is that it seems to act a bit differently on each. It appears a status change does not trigger a program, or at least not all of the time. The Control does. In fact when I look at the setting for a control it states it is an "Alarm" so it appears to be what is triggering the programs. Now if I change just one lock I will get the Alarm for that door, but no alarm on the other. So I have it check the status of the other. It at least works

That was the issue. It was in a scene, however I was changing what was in the scene but not setting the scene as either on or off. I got the other pieces to work too, except for on issue I wanted to configure the H button to unlock just the front door but to lock both the front and back. I can't get the exact logic worked out and not sure if it is possible. My unlock program that runs to unlock has the following logic IF Scene H is off AND ( Front door is Locked AND back door is locked) THEN Unlock Front Door If I don't check both the front and back door when the Scene H light goes out then unlocking the back door manually (aka let the dog out) will cause the scene H light to go out as well which in turn causes the program to run and unlock the front door which I would not want it to do. The only downside of the logic above is if the dog is out and the back door is unlocked, I can't simply press a insteon button to open the door. Not a huge issue but would be great if there is logic that will work. Also as a side note if anyone tries what I did. I didn't write it here, but I also had to use variables and wait timers since locks and buttons are changing and once one program makes a change it would trigger another that would reverse it. AKA as soon as a door unlocks and the scene button has not yet changed to off would trigger the locking program because the scene button light is on but a door is unlocked. To solve this, a variable changes is the first action I assign a different number to each program and the if statements check for either a zero (no lock program running) or its number so it keeps running After the commands are sent to the lock and button it waits a few seconds more to allow the lock to actually lock and then resets the variable to zero. That way only one of the programs can operate otherwise my door kept locking and unlocking until I disabled the programs

Below is the program. Now I have noticed that the program appears to run and understands when the locks, since the Status of the program changes from True to false if either door is unlocked and then switches back to true once all the doors are locked. As such it appears it does not like the Then and Else statements. If I run just the Then or run just the else it appears the Insteon switch does not change

I am having a bit of a challenge try to configure these two devices together. I am actually hoping to do two different things: 1) Have Scene H button configured so that it will light whenever the doors are locked (two locks) and turn off when either door is unlocked. So in the case I would look at that button to actually act more like a responder since you may unlock or lock the door and I want the light to identify the status. 2) Second part is a controller. If I notice the door is unlocked, I would want to press that scene H and know it will then lock all of the doors or if I know who is there I can press the button and it will unlock the door Currently I have 3 different 2334-222 switches and would like to configure them all to act this way. Best use case is as I go to bed I would like to know the doors are locked or not and if not lock them. Then if I am in the kitchen cooking and someone arrives I can then just hit the button in the kitchen to unlock just the front door (if I have to it can unlock both) I have tried via a combo of scenes and programs but the only thing I have been able to get working is to lock the door by pressing the scene H button. I am currently running 5.0.13D and any help would be great.
