  1. I ran Home Assistant on a Pi 3 in the past, was not happy with it. I now run Home Assistant on the old Qotum fanless PC that I used for CQC before, it is using about 10 watts and is much faster than a Pi.
  2. I tried making my own buttons today, the print lines show through when backlit and may do so if filled and painted. I printed this with white ABS and it fits really tight on the stock Insteon frame, I have to try printing the 4 button file from this thread and see if it fits on it.
  3. Thanks, I have been using large buttons on a 6 button frame for a few years now, I just don't like the lines in the middle buttons.
  4. I want to thank the O.P. for posting these files, I just got a Robo3d R1 and will try printing one of these once I get used to using the printer. My first attempt at printing ABS did not go well, I have seen where people state that a fully enclosed printer works much better for ABS to prevent warping. I don't know why Smarthome doesn't offer a 4 button Keypadlinc option, they look much nicer than the others and using larger buttons makes it much easier for old farts like me to see.
  5. I think HA is great for many reasons but mostly due to the fact that I have a very rare medical condition (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) where even a minor bump on the leg can leave me without the ability to walk, I have been injured where I can't walk for up to six month long stretches, having the ability to remotely control lights or have them come on based on automation rules is helping me greatly. I started with X-10 back in the late 70's when I first saw it at Sears, I had X-10 it until 2006 when I bought my first Insteon stuff, I briefly switched part of my house to Lutron RadioRA after I had 3 PLC failures in a short amount of time. When I started replacing my incandescent bulbs with energy saving LED bulbs I would either have to spend a fortune on new RadioRA dimmers that would work with smaller loads or switch again so I bought an ISY-99i, a PLM and went back to Insteon in 2010. I just recently replaced my ISY-99i with a ISY-994i ZW/IR Pro and a new PLM so I can replace some of my original dimmers that have failed tact switches, I also bought new remotelinc2 controllers because I got tired of replacing tact switches on the original remotelincs. If not for the ISY, I would never gone back to Insteon, I never had any trouble with my ISY-99i or the PLM I bought in 2010 and hope to get many good years out of my new ISY-994i ZW/IR Pro.
