Thanks, @shbatm. And thanks for all the work you do and the leadership you have shown in this area. It does make things easier in a way to not store "native" scene info on the devices. Ensuring that the native records and the local HA records stay in sync can be an issue. And I can always edit the ALDB or using the UI or doing service calls in HA to write the links directly to the devices. The issue really comes up though where I have 3-way switches and I want the switches to control each other. Or where I have an "all outside devices" scene that I want controller by a switch.

@vbPhil, glad you posted this. I am seeing the exact same thing. HA does not create a scene the same way as ISY does. It appears the ISY creates native Insteon links between all the devices in a scene, so that even if the PLM is removed, the devices still talk to each other. HA on the other hand just creates a link between the devices in the scene to the PLM, and gives it a group # for use in HA. So if the PLM is disconnected for any reason, the scenes no longer work. I like the way ISY does it much more, since I want my house to still work when the PLM is dead for some reason. Maybe we can ask the Insteon plug-in leader in HA to add the creation of native links in the Insteon devices when HA creates scenes.

I also agree with MrBill. I have had some powerline noise that caused even dual band switches to become completely non-communicative. There is defintely something going on where powerline noise kills the ability to use RF.

Have you tried looking at the other nodes of the device in ISY? I too had this problem in the past, but was always able to use a different node. For example, Open node was always on. But Closed node worked correctly. So I just used Close node for all my programs. Not sure this will help you, but just an idea.

On my 2441THv.10 thermostat, Heat and Cool states still work under 16b. Just verified.

Just updated to B version. No issues that I can see.

But what if it has only 1/2 the life they say. I might have to replace this in only 45 years. Thanks for the sanity check!!!

I was going to use this feature to update the voltage setting of my AEON HEM v1 (Home Energy Monitor) for better accuracy. The v1 does not have the ability to measure voltage itself (just current using current clamps), but does have a parameter setting to set voltage so that its Wattage calculations are accurate. So I plan to read voltage from an Aeon Gen5 Smart Switch which does provide voltage readings and put that into the HEMv1 whenever the voltage changes by more than 1 V. So far, this seems to send updates to the HEMv1 about 20-30 times a day. My home voltage varies from a low of 119V to high of 125V. The issue is that I worry about all that writing to what I assume is flash memory on the HEMv1. Is there a concern this will destroy the memory after a while?
