I am looking for a way to keep Insteon keypadlinc buttons in sync with the switches they control and I am wondering if there is a way to do it in HouseLinc or PowerHome. The problem is that when a SwitchLinc Timer V2 expires and shuts off or when a PC sends a direct command to a switch, the associated KeypadLinc button does not get updated.
What I would like to do is poll all switches that are linked to a keypadlinc button every couple of seconds to verify that they are in sync. In cases where more than one switch is linked to a keypadlinc button, I want the button to be ON unless ALL of the associated switches are off. So if I press the keypadlinc button that is supposed to shut off three switches and one of the switches fails to acknowledge that it turned off, then the keypadlinc button should stay on (or go back on) to indicate that at least one linked switch is still on.
I don't need to poll every Insteon device I have, just the ones linked to keypadlinc buttons (maybe 50 or so). They would need to be checked at least once every couple of seconds; otherwise I will already have walked away from the keypadlinc before the true status is displayed.
Is this something that PowerHome or HouseLinc can already do?
