Hi,
Need some help with the ph_insteongroupcu command.
I'd like to use it like this: ph_insteongroupcu("PLC_ID_FOR_GROUP","DEVICE_ID_OF_DEVICE_TO _CONTROL",ion) to control a specific device.
This method seems to respond much faster than ph_insteon.
The problem seems that if I use the ph_insteongroupcu command it doesn't change the [LOCAL9] <> [LOCAL10] variables in my "Insteon Device Changed" trigger. Therefore I don't actually know that the device turned on/off.
Is there a way to have [LOCAL9] <> [LOCAL10] variables work so that my trigger will fire and notify that an Insteon Device has changed state?
Thanks

I think that's why it's faster. 
You could follow that with ph_getinsteonlevelrt to check the status.

Thanks for the info TonyNo, that would work, but not exactly what I was looking for.
What's the real difference in ph_insteongroup and ph_insteongroupcu? I have my master/slave switchlincs as groups and I use ph_insteongroup to control them, it's much faster than ph_insteon and so I thought I'd try to use ph_insteongroupcu to control individual switchlincs/lamplincs. It would keep me from creating a group for each switchlinc/lamplinc I have, right? However, it doesn't fire my Insteon Device Changed trigger like the ph_insteongroup command does. Is there any way to have it behave like a ph_insteongroup?
Thanks
