Hi all. I did a search but didn't see anything, but I suspect this has been discussed before.

I have an existing setup that works well. Lots of Insteon switches, plugs, leak detectors, and an ISY 994 ver 4.7.3

I recently added 4 switches to 2  3-way lights.  The light with the load is connected to one insteon switch, and the other insteon switch is wired so the black traveler wire feeds power to the responder. I set the switch without the load as the controller of the switch with the load, and that switch as a responder.

The load wire on the controller switch is disconnected. The controller does activate the responder, and the responder works from ISY, Home Assistant and Alexa.

But, if I turn the lights on from the controller, the responder's status does not change on the ISY, and therefore not in Home Assistant either.  Is there a workaround for this?

I could have the controller run a program on the ISY to turn on the responder,  but for maximum WAF, I want the lights to work even if the network or ISY are down, rare but possible.

 

Thanks.

@The_Penguin,

You need to create a scene in ISY and put your controller/responder in that scene. Otherwise, ISY will not know what's happening and what's linked to what: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:How-To_Guide#Scenes

With kind regards,
