Insteon / Altsteon support

Hi intveltr,

I recently picked up some Insteon items to start integrating Altsteon, and maybe work on the code.

For the most part, dimmers (in KeypadLincs) work fine. The only issue I am having is with the FanLincs. These show up as 3 devices in the Vera UI5 (a parent, child for the light, and child for the fan). The FanLincs replaced by Leviton VRF01s which HomeWave supported as dimmers. When I go to link the HomeWave dimmer to the FanLinc light portion, all is well. However, the “fan” child never appears in HomeWave, so I can’t control it.

Do you have any plans for Insteon/Altsteon support? I am already signed up to betatest HomeWave, so I can help test.

Do you know what uPnP services these fan children expose? HomeWave looks for the standard Dimming1 service, is there a different one for these fans?

service id: urn:geektaco-info:serviceId:FanLinc1

State Variables: Speed, State

Action: SetFanSpeed
Value: newTargetValue
Values 0, 1, 2, 3
0 = Off
1 = Low
2 = Medium
3 = High

I’ll include this in the next beta; you can expect it in the next few days.

Great. Thanks Garrett and intveltr.
