Strange behavior with altsteon/keypadlinc

Hey guys,

I have an 8-button KPL setup that is exhibiting some unusual behavior. The main (load) switch is setup to control my undercabinet lighting via a scene. (The switch doesn’t actually have a load attached.) This seems straight forward enough, but frequently when I use the switch, the scene triggers (the lights turn on, for example), but then a few seconds later it reverts (the lights turn back on, or vice versa). Sometimes this will occur repeatedly and indefinitely, sometimes it will just happen once or a few times.

Any thoughts on what could be causing this?

This is the luup running when the scene is triggered (On):

luup.call_action("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:Dimming1", "SetLoadLevelTarget", {newLoadlevelTarget = "100"},46)

This is the luup running when the scene is triggered (Off):

luup.call_action("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:Dimming1", "SetLoadLevelTarget", {newLoadlevelTarget = "0"},46)

Below is some log data where the issue is occurring. Here I think the button was pressed once, the light turned off and then back on:

I am a little unclear on which device is which, and your setup.

Vera device 71 = Insteon KPL with ID 2B.A7.14
Vera device 46 = Philips Hue light that you are controlling

It looks like you have a scene #28 (“Undercabinet Lights On”) which is triggered by turning “2B.A7.14 button 1” on.
This scene then turns device #46 (Philips Hue) on.

It looks like you have a scene #29 (“Undercabinet Lights Off”) which is triggered by turning “2B.A7.14 button 1” off.
This scene then turns device #46 (Philips Hue) off.

The issue only happens when you run from the switch, correct? Evert time you do it from the Vera dashboard, it works exactly as intended?

Yep, I believe that is all exactly correct. It does not seem that triggering the scenes (Undercabinet light on or off) from the dashboard causes the same behavior.
