Hopefully this is an easy one...... My current setup is all Insteon devices throughout the house and I am very familiar with Insteon groups and Powerhome. I have one light however that I could not power with an Insteon module (due to load) and have to power using a Leviton 6280 15A in wall receptacle. I'd like to get group like behavior in that when I flip my insteon switch, I'd like the X10 plug to turn on too. Anyone have some tips on the best way to do this? I'm at the point where the X-10 device is defined and working in Powerhome.

Thanks, Michael.

Just create an Insteon trigger that turns on the 6280.

Use an Action Type of Formula, enter ph_x10btn( "A12", 2, 0), for A12 On, a Trigger Type of "Insteon Group In", then select your Insteon device, and finally a Trigger Value of On.

Ok,

Thanks! The trigger seems to be the right route......odd problem though. If I go to device status and execute an on or off command it works 100% of the time. When executed via the trigger it works maybe 5% of the time (the trigger and commands are firing 100% but the outlet is not turning on/off). Any ideas? Powerhome status reports the same sequence of events if I perform the action manually or via the trigger.

Thanks, Michael.

Michael,

Make sure that you have the -4 patch (it's on the downloads page). This fixes a timing issue with sending X10 commands and sound as if it's your problem.

Let me know,

Dave.
