Third reality zigbee smart plug power monitoring not showing up Third Reality, Inc Model # 3RSP02028BZ https://www.amazon.com/THIRDREALITY-Zigbee-Smart-Plug/dp/B0BPY2KRHH IoX v.5.9.1 The device has no problem pairing, and is functional with on / off capabilities, but the power monitoring feature is not available. Note: under Xray: Device channel database object: ELECTRICAL_MEASUREMENT is listed

on my Ipad when I create a favorite the default note color is #71A6FA, I've noticed that if I change the color and then change it back to the value #71A6FA it's not the same. To reproduce add a new node to favorites, change the default color (eg: #71A6AA) then change it back to #71A6FA

I'd like this also, I have one and it connects but the note identifies itself as "main" with no attributes

Understood.. On a simular topic, it's already been noted that iOS and android backups are not compatible, but a way to export/import just favorites would be very convenient for copying "consoles" between device devices (and hopefully easier to implement 😀) btw: android should not even be allowed to import an iOS backup, it really fuckers the android app, requiring a purge and then reinstall (and a lesson turned)....

I placed a cheap ($11) usb fan from Amazon on top on the unit have had zero problems With the ambient temperature on my desk is around 71° [admin@eisy ~]$ ./get-temp.sh CPU0 26 C / 78 F CPU1 27 C / 80 F CPU2 26 C / 78 F CPU3 27 C / 80 F TZ0 27 C / 80 F Quiet 90mm Router Fan Cooler $11.99 2Pack Quiet 80mm USB Fan Dual-Ball Bearings $19.99

Is there a way to copy the advanced configuration settings in favorites one object node to another, for example, value based color settings on multiple temperature sensors.

Yeah, now that i understand what is going on more that's what I've thinking about with a few translation table based on protocol number... I was trying to use it as it at first not realizing it was special case mostly for Tasmota integrations

@sjenkins thanks I'll probably have to write a plug-in that interprets the output of rtl-433. it's written in C and the code focuses on SDR protocol decoding thus the input format is not gonna change (I contributed to code base a few years ago) after looking around they have some example code that does something similar for another product. Side Note: once done it will be trivial to incorporate pre-existing devices as input sensors Tire pressure: {"time" : "2025-08-04 18:22:45", "protocol" : 186, "model" : "Hyundai-VDO", "type" : "TPMS", "id" : "5173f60b", "state" : 48, "flags" : 8, "repeat" : 1, "pressure_kPa" : 248.875, "temperature_C" : 25.000, "maybe_battery" : 1, "mic" : "CRC"} Home security sensors (admittedly the neighbors') {"time" : "2025-06-30 22:14:47", "model" : "Interlogix-Security", "subtype" : "unknown", "id" : "51a4c2", "battery_ok" : 0, "switch1" : "CLOSED", "switch2" : "CLOSED", "switch3" : "OPEN", "switch4" : "CLOSED", "switch5" : "CLOSED", "raw_message" : "d24000"} Efergy home energy meter (also the neighbors', but hey, it's good for development input data) {"time" : "2025-07-31 19:01:36", "protocol" : 100, "model" : "Efergy-e2CT", "id" : 16386, "battery_ok" : 0, "current" : 18.781, "interval" : 6} Rolling code Keyfobs {"time" : "@0.843604s", "protocol" : 164, "model" : "Secplus-v2", "id" : 1959100928, "button_id" : 16, "remote_id" : 1959100928, "fixed" : "70678577664", "rolling" : "240124739"} Motion sensors {time" : "2024-09-27 19:28:26", "model" : "Skylink motion sensor", "motion" : "true", "id" : "1e3e8", "raw" : "be3e8"}

Thanks I'll do more studying.. I found a few filters that grok the json and publish the filtered results.

I am trying to feed data from my outdoor temperature sensor (LaCrosse-TX141Bv3). I'm receiving the data using an SDR dongle and passing it via mqtt. The data I'm sending to MQTT: {"time" : "2025-08-07 13:39:10", "protocol" : 73, "model" : "LaCrosse-TX141Bv3", "id" : 237, "channel" : 1, "battery_ok" : 1, "temperature_C" : 20.800, "test" : "No"} This is the json output from rtl_433 My devfile: devices: - id: "TX141Bv1" sensor_id: "temperature_C" type: "Temp" name: "Temperature" status_topic: "rtl_433/LaCrosse-TX141Bv3/temperature_C" cmd_topic: "rtl_433/LaCrosse-TX141Bv3/power" - id: "TX141Bv2" sensor_id: "battery_ok" type: "raw" name: "Battery" status_topic: "rtl_433/LaCrosse-TX141Bv3/battery_ok" cmd_topic: "rtl_433/LaCrosse-TX141Bv3/power" - id: "TX141Bv4" sensor_id: "test" type: "flag" name: "testFlag" status_topic: "rtl_433/LaCrosse-TX141Bv3/test" cmd_topic: "rtl_433/LaCrosse-TX141Bv3/power" MQTT Explorer reports: . But Im seeing . any suggestions? I'm guessing I am misinterpreting fieldnames?

I look forward to playing with this, the limitations of WeMo emulation was getting annoying..

Thank you for your honesty Yes I agree I could have done better, for some reason I couldn't find my groove and bring out my my inter Mussolini on onstage ( and having hardware problems right before the top certainly didn't help). [it's been over a decade since I presented on stage] The important part is I got the information out there, I plan to clean up the reference source when I have time these days I'm a bit distracted working on another projects

Feel free to send me push requests, most of the python code was written where is was beating with a hammer till it worked. The demodulation code in C has been rewritten and needs to be linted and checked in.

I have one at my main panel, seems to work ( if nothing goes wrong, its working ). Although, electrically you get better protection with a distributed systems (eg : protected power strips everywhere )

Background : I2cs requires a device to be linked as a responder before it will accept commands. To link a device physical access and/or knowledge of the INSTEON address of a device is required As a security precaution, Insteon PLM firmware masks address of unknown/unpaired devices to prevent discovery and PLM’s firmware always inserts the true PLM ID number in the From Address field of messages that it sends Since the Insteon protocol is unencrypted and unauthenticated anyone with layer 2 ( the Data link layer) access can circumvent *any* of these restrictions. That is they have the ability to read the full contents of any message/packet ( and see the full address of even non paired devices ) as well as send with any ID in the Address fields of the message/packet Thus to circumvent I2cs restrictions all you have to do is intercept a message/packet then programmatically link to that device ( no physical access needed ) Alternatively after you intercept a message/packet you can impersonate a paired device and do anything you want.

I2CS offers no protection from layer 2 protocol spoofing and injection. In other words the ability to send & receive arbitrary packets includes the ability to intercept & impersonate any other device.

Personally I don't think the talk when that great, I was not as animated as I normally am on stage. I'll have the slides up tomorrow on github with some of the demo code. I'm interested in seeing what people do with these resources. Network Insteon bridges/relays, server signaling, etc...

To be clear the the cc1111emk (with software) can be equivalent of an Insteon 2448A7 Portable USB Adapter but with the ability receive and send arbitrary packets over RF, you will need an AP or dual-band device to relay the packets onto the powerline. In fact for "fun" I just ordered a EZ430-Chronos-915 ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DK2D8WW ) since it's based on the same chipset as the dongle and thus would be somewhat trivial to run a script ( in the watch ) that can send Insteon commands. That pretty much already done, for receive only you can use a $15 rtl_sdr dongle and software demodulator The current output is something to the effect of : Flag To From cmd crc padding C3 : 11 0D 27 : 01 00 00 : 11 80 F8 00 00 AA 41 : 80 25 13 : 11 0D 27 : 11 01 8C 00 00 AA 0B : 69 54 17 : 80 25 13 : 13 00 C3 00 00 AA

It can be done easily with the cc1111emk USB dongle. I already have Python scripts that allow you to send commands in hex similar to the raw PLM interface. Wrapping this as a network service making and presenting a PLM like interface over TCP would be straight forward.

the reason the code was not pre-released was because while writing it I effectively beat it with a sledge hammer till it worked for me. Given I have kids and a day job I have not had time to clean it up as much as I would like. I also wrote my own software FSK demodulator in the process as an exercise. I'll be posting the code on my github account some time this week and I have plans to eventually make the tools more genetic for use with other RF protocols. Maybe someone will take what I've started and write a software based PLM...

Defcon will be uploading the video in the next few weeks, it is not one of my better talks. I was not as animated as I would have liked. I took on this project after trying to implement the RF protocol as documented in their ”white paper” with a toolkit called rfcat and having it not work. In the process of debugging I discovered the gross inaccurately of the published documentation.

I'll have the code up in a day or so now that I'm back from defcon. Effectively Insteon's documentation for their RF protocol is bullshit and not even close to what is really used. I've reverse engineered the actual protocol, documented it, and wrote proof of concept set of tools. These tools consist of a few programs & scripts to allow anyone to intercept and/or transmit commands effectively circumventing Insteon's security model of needing to know the node address or being paired. With a good antenna Insteon devices can be communicated with at a fair distance. The security risk for the end user obviously depend on what you use Insteon for. if you have just lights, your threat profile is minimal. I would not advise connecting locks or alarm systems as Insteon is showing to be the weakest link in the chain

my suggestion is to start documenting all details till patterns emerge. some ideas : what type of failures? do they stop operating remotely, locally or both ? Are multiple devices failing at the sametime ? are they the same devices is it random are they all on the same circuit? sub pannel ? power phase ? is it a network access problem? ( eg: a intermediate device failing to relay commands do you have a method to monitor the power quality ? Many UPS have the ability to do this as a feature of their software. I have also found UPSs are the worst offenders, inducing a lot of low voltage noise ( I have all 4 of my home UPSs on filters )

Rainforest Eagle - polling it approx every 5 sec to get the latest demand numbers. Could be written into ISY variables, but had no need for that yet. Also not forwarding the kWh data just yet. I've started on Rainforest Eagle library https://github.com/evilpete/RainEagle it is not as advanced as the ISY library but it exposes the undocumented web API as well as the documented socket based API

take a look ISYlib's internal _read_event() function, the code is ugly and needs to be rewritten but it I might give you some hints https://github.com/evilpete/ISYlib-python/blob/dev/ISY/IsyClass.py#L409
