So, in my seemingly endles effort to get a stable Insteon system (I know, I know, but I've got a LOT invested...) I'm trying to move the system to my Elk. Everything looks fine in terms of the setup, BUT THE DEVICES DON'T RESPOND AT ALL.
My M1XSP has the latest Insteon-specific firmware installed, and the M1XSP is blinking properly. I used PowerHome to create a link from the PLC to each device, and from each device to the PLC (shows up as Group 1 for slave, Group 254 as master) and to load the devices into the M1XSP. I can retrieve them back out to PowerHome as well, so we seem to be communicating between the M1XSP and PowerHome just fine.
I also used PowerHome to load the core application (timercoreapp) to the PLC, then cleared the database and added the PowerHome Insteon IDs to the PLC (again, using PowerHome) before plugging it into the M1XSP. ElkRP was used to set each device to "serial expander" as the custom type and to load in the device names and make them show up on the Elk's web page. I can see each device on the web page and via a keypad, and when I plug the PLC into the PowerHome machine (as a test) it works just fine.
So... WHY ON EARTH AREN'T MY BLASTED LIGHTS RESPONDING? Not one, not at all, not ever.
Ideas welcome, and thanks in advance.
UPDATE: Noticed after posting that when I try to turn on / off a device via the Elk webpage, the corresponding X10 code and instruction is being sent (or at least HomeSeer is seeing it that way - I have X10 turned on for a thermostat, but the HS Insteon plugin is disabled). Is it possible that I've missed some simple instruction related to telling the Elk to turn OFF X10, and turn ON Insteon??
