Insteon Lights Bright/Dim
Posted: Tue Oct 09, 2012 6:07 pm
I am trying to send a command to one of my insteon switches via the ISY994i controller, as per your example in the tutorials section of the forum,and cannot seem to get the app to do this. Here is what I have tried:
1. In a web browser on my PC, I sent: "http://admin@admin:10.10.10.6/rest/nodes/1D 38 C7 1/cmd/BRT" (without the quotes) and it cam back: <RestResponse succeeded="true">
2. I then put that exact command (http://admin@admin:10.10.10.6/rest/nodes/1D 38 C7 1/cmd/BRT) into a button ("Send data to a website") when released - nothing happens
3. I tried formatting the command like this: http://admin@admin:10.10.10.6/rest/nodes/1D%2038%20C7%201/cmd/BRT - nothing happens
4. I tried formatting the command like this: http://admin@admin:10.10.10.6/rest/nodes/1D38C701/cmd/BRT - nothing happens
5. Finally I tried formatting the command like this: http://admin@admin:10.10.10.6/rest/nodes/1D38C71/cmd/BRT - nothing happens
If I program a "scene" (http://admin:[email protected]/rest/nodes/12995/cmd/DON), it works just fine. The difference being the scene number, not the node designation (in my case 1D 38 C7 1).
Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong? I'd like to have a button from which I can brighten the lights at 3% intervals (/BRT) and one from which to dim them at 3% intervals (/DIM).
Thanks.
