Setup: Eisy also running HA on it I have had my system working properly. Eisy controlling Insteon Devices. Polyglot Nodeservers functioning for SONOS and Govee. Running the HA overlay and it was working great. Now when I try to log into the Polyglot site, I get an error that says Http failure response. Coincidentally (or maybe related), HA is still working for any of my non-eisy devices, but can't connect to Universal Devices. All eisy programs and controls still work natively through the Admin Console. I have tried pressing the power button on the esiy, and unplugging it and plugging it back in. Around the time it quit working, I did change the login and password on the Admin Console. Ned help!

EDIT: This appears to be an isolated problem as the other lights seem to work as expected. A little bit of progress. I have all my Govee lights showing up in the Admin Console (I am guessing I had already reached my call limit yesterday when I was trying to set them up maybe?). But now I have them all in the Admin Console and can successfully turn them on and off through the Admin Console. In your setup, have you created scenes with a Keypad button and Govee light? I have built the scenes. When I go to the scene in the Admin Console and turn it on or off, the Keypad button and Govee Light respond as they should. However, when I press the Keypad button locally, the Govee light does not respond at all. The Keypad button is set as a controller. Should this be working, or does the Govee Nodeserver not function that way?

I had the Govee Noderserver installed and it had found all of my devices as nodes. The nodeserver itself was not working, so I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Requested a new api key from Govee. Added a Custom Configuration Parameter "api_key" and pasted the key. The nodeserver connects, but only finds one node "the controller". It finds this node whether I have the correct key entered or not, but will not find all of the devices. Anyone have any ideas what I can try?

Yes. In Polyglot itself, it is only showing 1 node found. Probably one of those things I need to just put down for the day and come back tomorrow and I will realize I missed some step.

I'm just going backwards at this point. I tired various poll times, and nothing seemed to work, so I deleted the node server and re-installed. Added my api key. It now only finds one node, Govee controller. Previously it had 15 modes.

Thanks. I’ll start high and work down from there. What is the trade off for setting them too high?

That is good to hear that you got it working. That gives me some hope. Any science to how to set those correctly, or is it more of a trial and error thing?

This has given me a newfound appreciation of Nodeservers. I wish the Govee Nodeserver worked, and then all my issues would likely be solved.

Ok, so I have started over. Deleted all helpers, and all automations. I am testing two separate Govee lights. Light 1 controlled from Keypad button B and Light 2 controlled from the same Keypad (button C). When I set up the Linked Entity, I select the Govee Light 1 and have two options to link to it. A switch and a sensor. Neither work. So I created a scene in the eisy and put only Button B in it. That seems to work. However, I did the same exact process with Govee Light 2 and Button C, and it constantly turns on and off about every second. It will work fine the first couple times I press the Keypad button, but then goes back to constantly alternating states. This is very repeatable. I'm at a loss. I am sure it is caused by something I am doing, but I have checked the set up in the eisy and in the HA automations, and they appear to be set up exactly the same. One seems to be working, the other doesn't.

Ended up solving this issue.

May have spoke to soon. I set up several groups that way. When I press a keypad button, the corresponding Govee strip linked in HA turns on, but then continues to turn on and off over and over. This is happening for each group of linked entities.

@Diesel Thanks! This is exactly what I needed! Never would have figured that out on my own.

is the Simple Thermostat Card configuration meaning that your thermostat is set up with something other than the Nest Integration?

I did find a helper to change my INSTEON scene from a switch to a light and then group it in HA with the light to control, but that doesn't seem to be the solution I am looking for. Looks like I can successfully turn on and off the group through HA, but the group does not respond to my keypad button presses. I have "all entities" turned off, so that if any of the keypad buttons are pressed, I was thinking the group would respond.

I have the Insteon device pulled in to HA already. Just wondering if there is something equivalent to ISY scenes in HA, or if I have to do it with programs (automations). I found “Groups” but since the device is a light and the Insteon scenes come in as switches, it looks like I can’t group them?
