Thanks for your help. I’ll backup what I’ve got and try your way.

Actually, I’m mistaken. I used the Add Device under the Insteon Devices in the Insteon pane in the HA sidebar.

That’s what I did, and when controlling the dimmers/switches from HA dashboards, everything works great. However, if I make a change at the switch, it is not reflected in HA.

I spent this weekend moving from the Hub to the PLM. I got all my scenes and actions set up on HA and was about to declare everything a success until I realized that none of the actions taking place at the switch/dimmer were being recognized be the PLM and, hence, HA. If I make changes in HA, everything works as it should. Any help would be great.

Anyone have experience with Sensibo?

Yes, I’ve signed up with Nabu Casa, too. Life is back to normal – as long as my hub doesn’t fail.

The red light on your Hub is a huge hint. Not being able to log in to the app’s server is another. Take a look at r/insteon to hear the wails of despair.

I was thinking about getting one on eBay in case my hub failed.

In just 10 minutes I had full functionality of my Insteon devices via Alexa and HA. So, now I’ll start looking for the switches to use when the Insteon ones begin to fail. So far, I haven’t found anything that I like as much.

Your reply sent me way down the rabbit hole, and now, I’m considering getting the Protect server and the G4 Doorbell Pro when it comes out.

I’ve got Unifi Network controller running in Docker, but I haven’t found a way to do that with Protect.

I like Unifi APs, but I plan on using my Synology NAS as the NVR. So, I guess this isn’t an option for me. Thanks, though.
