Use KeypadLinc button to trigger a Zwave switch

[doctorjerry]

I haven't been able to get the additional buttons in a KeypadLinc to trigger. I tried to follow the suggested Isy994_control event  example which in my case looks like this.  

- id: '1703200515964'
  alias: Shop Lights
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: isy994_control
    event_data:
      entity_id: sensor.basement_stairs_keypad_a
      control: DON
      value: 255
      condition: []
  action:
  - type: turn_on
    device_id: 73a0d20f1fa7802377822ce38c54a63f
    entity_id: 0ebda1d0dded7ce1564efdd14b7e8046
    domain: light
  mode: single

What are you trying to do. What's your current setup

Create a scene.  Make the light the responder and the switch the controller.

I have an Insteon network of about 30 devices and a few Z-wave switches. I had solely used Insteon devices for years (99i and then 994i)  until my PLM died and I couldn't find a replacement.  With an Insteon Hub I was able get back into my network. I didn't know where Insteon was going and started looking for alternatives. I started using HA and added some Z-wave switches. The Z-wave switches are integrated directly in HA. Now with a new PLM I've retired the Hub and  integrate Insteon into HA with ISY/IOX. I do like the HA front end for access to my setup by computer and mobile, but I'm unfamiliar with the programming. 

I use the accessory buttons of a Keypad to control other Insteon devices with scenes without a problem. Now I want to use a button to control a Z-wave switch.  When I was using the Hub the accessory buttons showed up as devices and could easily be programmed as a trigger. But with ISY they are sensors and I have not been able to figure out how to use them as a trigger.

Since you're using HA, I can't help you. Have you tried on their forums?

Thanks for the quick reply. This seems to be a section of the UDI forums where others using HA and Insteon have commented on the same issue. Hopefully someone with familiarity with both systems will pick up on my request for help.
