Insteon Dimmer to Hue best implementation

Featured Replies

Posted

I would like my insteon dimmer switch to control my hue lights.  I'm using a Polisy with the latest firmware and the latest PG3 Hue software.

Right now my code is a stack of programs for each dim level as shown below, which works albeit with less granularity than ideal.  I'd like to just copy the Insteon Dimmer level directly into the Hue brightness and possibly compute the color temperature to mimick a Philips Warm Glow bulb when the bulb is controlled by the switch.

Bar Switch Dim66 - [ID 003F][Parent 0001]

If
        'Bar Down Lights' Status >= 35%
    And 'Bar Down Lights' Status < 70%
 
Then
        Set 'Hue / Bar'  Color Temperature 2500° K Brightness 128 in 400 ms

To clarify, I'm currently using a kludgy set of programs to respond to half a dozen dim ranges from the insteon switch and then setting the hue light to a brightness that matches the switch.  This lets guests use the hue lights as if they were normal lights on a dimmer switch.  However, other programs, including Hue Sync, can set the lights to various colors and animations as required, making them rather covert party lights while also letting me keep the consistent look of Insteon switches everywhere.  I'm looking for a less kludgy way to have a hue bulb follow the brightness on an Insteon dimmer switch.

Making Hue scenes, rather than programs, work well for me.
