Thanks for the advice on using a triggerlinc.

Could you share some additional details as to your set-up?

Are you able to create just one device to cover the open/close or do you need two sensors: Open = group1 and Close = group2?

Are you able to use the battery low indicator?

could you share some screen shots of rules involving these devices?

I have struck out on the insteon raw commands. It doesn't appear HAL is saving the command.

Sorry for the delay. Just now seeing your questions. I only have one device setup per sensor.

I have not tried to use the battery low indicator.

I've tried to attach some screen shots, but the size limit and dimension limit is ridiculous, and it won't let me attach a 200kb file. Good grief. Want me to email them to you? Private me your email address and I'll send them.

Thanks for the screenshots. After looking at them, I remembered that this device has a special "2 group" mode so that it can send different commands for open than close. So I turned off the "2 group" mode and found HAL to report the open/close as on/off as expected, but that doesn't work for me because without the 2 group mode, I can't turn on the lights when the door closes and turn them off when the door opens. The light control pretty much doesn't work without "2 group"

Is there any chance of HAL supporting the "2 group" mode of this device any time soon?

*OR* I guess I can let HAL do the light control rather than the device, but that is delayed...hmmmm
