I'm trying to control a group saved on my PLC that will turn on/off my front door lights at scheduled times (through CQC). This has been very unreliable for me. The event seems to fire as expected, but the lights do not turn on.
Using PowerHome to control the group, I'm seeing the same thing. I can use PowerHome to control individual lights in my house, and reliability is very high. But when I ask PowerHome to control my PLC group, I'd say I have a 50/50 shot of the group responding.
I've tried relocating the PLC to a couple different outlets in various locations of my house, but it doesn't seem to matter.
Insteon communications in my house, in general, is extremely reliable switch to switch. After leaving PowerHome running for a few days, all my devices show as 98%+ reliable. It's only PLC group control, and sometimes other PC control functions, that seem to be giving me a problem.
Looking at the PowerHome log (and not understanding any of it), it seems when the group is successfully controlled I get "PLC:eventraw=03" replies listed. If the group doesn't get controlled, there is no entry. Here's a brief sample:
ui:!sendinsteonraw=00 00 00 00 00 02 CF 13 00
uifinished:!sendinsteonraw=00 00 00 00 00 02 CF 13 00
si:00 00 00 00 00 02 CF 13 00
PLC:sendinsteonraw=True
ui:!sendinsteonraw=00 00 00 00 00 02 CF 13 00
uifinished:!sendinsteonraw=00 00 00 00 00 02 CF 13 00
si:00 00 00 00 00 02 CF 13 00
PLC:sendinsteonraw=True
ui:!sendinsteonraw=00 00 00 00 00 02 CF 13 00
uifinished:!sendinsteonraw=00 00 00 00 00 02 CF 13 00
si:00 00 00 00 00 02 CF 13 00
PLC:sendinsteonraw=True
PLC:eventraw=03
PLC:eventraw=03
PLC:eventraw=03
I tried resetting the PLC, I BELIEVE I reset it correctly and re-linked all my Insteon devices to it, but I'm not 100% sure.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance..
