HomeSeer 3 - Can't make an event trigger when Insteon light goes on

[edokid]

Hey everyone, the HomeSeer manual says nothing about this so I'm pulling my hair out.  I added a wall dimmer switch, and a few other LED lights and dimmer modules to HomeSeer that run on Insteon.  I can control them on or off no problem from it.  I made events like "At 6pm turn the lights off" and they all work.  What I can't figure out though is how to do an event like "If the kitchen light switch goes ON then do this or that", such as turn on the kitchen light, plus these 2 other LED lights.  If I manually trigger the event it works, but I can't figure out what trigger I use for turning the switch on.  I'd assume it's device goes On, but that doesn't do anything.  Turning it on manually shows: Received 29.D3.65:1 (Kitchen Kitchen Light) Go ON.  If I use the HomeSeer website to turn it on, I see Device: First Floor Kitchen Kitchen Light to On (100) by/from: CAPI Control Handler.
 
I've tried so much, such as:
 
If this device changes and becomes.... First floor kitchen light changes and becomes On
 
If this device changes and becomes.... First floor kitchen light changes and becomes "Set to any value"
 
If this device changes and becomes.... First floor kitchen light changes and becomes 100
 
None of those work.  I've tried also:
 
This device just had its value set or changed.  First floor kitchen light just had its value set or changed.
 
This device just had its value set to.... First floor kitchen light is set to On
 
This device just had its value set to.... First floor kitchen light is set to 100
 
And finally I tried Insteon special triggers:
 
Insteon special triggers Transmits an ON Command Kitchen Kitchen Light
 
None of these will trigger the "Then" results if I turn the kitchen light on.  If I use the iPad app and go to Events and select this event and say "Run event" then all the "Then" results occur.  So for some reason I can't figure out what I'm supposed to use for "If kitchen light is turned ON".  Am I missing something?

Edokid - Did you enable the event after you created it?  New events are disabled by default to prevent them from triggering while you're creating them.  check this and enable the event.
 

 
Also (not trying to steer you away, but...) HomeSeer questions are probably best answered over on the HomeSeer message board... lot's of HomeSeer user eyes on those posts!

Thanks I figured it out!  I guess it's because I'm using the Insteon Hub as part of the Starter Kit (so happy that this works with HomeSeer, since that saves me $79 vs the 2413S), but was messed up with all the links from Insteon Hub.  I factory reset the hub, and removed all links on all devices and now it's working, so happy!  I actually tried to make an account on the HomeSeer forum a couple days ago but it says an admin has to approve it and that's yet to happen :/  That's pretty much the only thing that's holding me back from moving forward with HomeSeer as makes me nervous if it takes awhile, but glad it's working either way.
