Fire Place Help
Before you go where you don't need to go... Where do you intend to plug in the I/O Linc? Is it possible to run a 4-wire cable from the current switch to the I/O Linc?

That's why I stated to use the two outside terminals.

That's actually a good solution. Add one surface mount box, an easy throw switch and you even have room to add more batteries in parallel so power will last longer. Great find and great idea.

Wire the switch to the sensor port of the I/O Linc. Then the two outside pins of the I/O Linc to the gas valve.

Yes. You have the switch control the I/O Linc which controls the fireplace.

I took the two leads from the switch the put them in the I/O Linc. The I/O Linc replaced the switch.

You want something like this: https://www.itead.cc/inching-self-locking-wifi-wireless-switch.html And if course you will need to add your own battery and a way to monitor power.

I suggest you set on time to a time you will be able to watch the program and test it. Maybe you can see something in the Admin Console that will show you why the lights don't stay on.

Back to the icons. The On program is neither Red (it hasn't run) or Green (it has run) so what does that mean?

I don't use the Admin Console enough to remember what those little hard-to-see icons mean.

Program Not Triggering for Sunset
I have created two test programs and I'm waiting to see if they both trigger. It will be about 5 minutes to turn on time. Test 1 just turned on the light. Wait 10 minutes to see if Test 2 turns off the light. The lights turned on and off. I have no idea why your programs are not working.

Did you notice that in your screenshot the Lights Off is running. I suggest that the Off prgram is turning the lights off as soon as they are turned on.

Should I be looking to transition to Z-wave from Insteon?
It's called 'Next Gen' Z-Wave hardware platform, also know as 500 Series or 5th Generation Z-Wave.

No devices discovered using v3
That is correct. In every room with an Alexa device, I can say, "Alexa, lights On/Off." The lights I have associated with the device will respond.

ISY for Insteon and Other Technologies
You can inform the ISY of the status of a device via REST and using a variable. The SmartThings Hub does allow you to write your own code.

There are some that have the power of ISY. There are some that have have the customer support of ISY. One would have to research to know where each hub stands. For instance HomeSeer may be a better fit for some.
