  1. I was wondering about that also.
  2. I know how to use fast on/off on the isy. I'm asking how to use it in Home Assistant. In HA there is no option that I can see that detects when an Insteon dimmer is switched fast on/off.
  3. Is there a way to use Insteon dimmer's Fast on/off for an automation in HA? I want to double tap my dining room light on to temporarily disable my Aqara presence sensor. Thanks
  4. I rebooted my pc and now I see the ISY. Not sure why that made a difference.
  5. Isy finder cant find the ISY and when I try to open it it opens in iced Tea. If I open with JAVA web launcher the same thing. I can access the ISY through the portal.
  6. I have suffered from this problem from day one where a couple of my light strips disconnect in the app and ISY and where you cant even turn them on or off with the button. The only way I could get this to work is unplug them then plug them back in. I did some searching on this and found someone who found a fix so I thought I would share this. Basically, you block WAN access to the devices and control them over an API. If you are ONLY using the KASA app, and not another controller such as HomeAssistant, SmartThings, Hubitat or whatever, this ISN'T going to work for you. Anyways, here's the steps to complete it for a user that may not be super savvy. 1. Login to your router and check the DHCP scope. It'll probably be 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.199 or something. Basically you want to ensure there's at least a good handful of IPs in the subnet (which is 1-255) that ARE NOT in the scope. Remember what they are. 2. Go to your DHCP leases table (or something like that), note down the IP addresses and MACs of the KL400's you're using. 3. Probably somewhere in the DHCP settings, you'll have somewhere you can "reserve an IP address by MAC". You want to then set all your KL400's to one of the IPs NOT in your DHCP scope (ideally). I'd keep them all together, such as .210, .211, .212, etc.. 4. Probably under firewall, or security, or something like that, you'll be able to "block" WAN (or Internet) access to those devices. 5. Done. The app appears to be causing a problem. After blocking internet access to each light strip I have not had a single disconnect! The lights still function with ISY and HA as well as the Kasa app.
  7. 1. Have you used a usb hub connected to your Synology NAS, if so which one do you use? 2. Have you connected Bluetooth to the NAS for HA devices?
  8. When you say HA ISY integration, do you mean just adding ISY into HA?
  9. Thanks, ill have a look. 1.So you can turn your fan on with the keypad? 2.And your fan shows running on the keypad?
  10. Switchbot blind tilt is one of the devices I added to home assistant not the node server.
  11. Was wondering if I can control my Switchbot blinds by using the Insteon Keypad. Thanks
  12. I installed HA on my synology and I am very happy so far. Without your recommendation I wouldn't have thought of using my NAS. Thanks again
  13. Thank you so much, very helpful info which i never fully understood. Today I will check my programs to make sure it's set properly and see if that fixes the problem.
