Taking a run at HA for my Insteon systems.

• insteon-terminal

  15 73 1.6 Python

  A simple tool to allow modification of an insteonplm or a insteonhub

(5) If you want to create new timers, create a schedule within the confines of Home Assistant (or openHAB) -- don't do it through the Insteon Hub. I do not believe there is a known way outside the (now non-working) official Insteon apps of editing the schedules that turn scenes on/off at certain intervals. However, you can use things like insteon-terminal to remove devices from the scene being controlled by the schedule. So the schedule continues to run on your hub, but it just doesn't turn anything on/off anymore. There's discussion here.

• insteon-mqtt

  13 99 5.9 Python

  Python Insteon PLM <-> MQTT bridge

I have ISY+HA at home and Insteon-MQTT at work. Frankly, I like the latter more. It is faster and simpler. Once I get my last IOLinc replaced at home with an esphome on esp32, I'm most likely going to go Insteon-MQTT at home.

• esphome

  227 7,780 9.9 C++

  ESPHome is a system to control your ESP8266/ESP32 by simple yet powerful configuration files and control them remotely through Home Automation systems.

  

I have an Insteon IOLinc controlling my garage door with a magnetic sensor similar to this. It works just fine. However, I'm in the process of planning to replace the IOLinc with an esphome sensor that has a motion sensor, car sensors, and a laser break sensor for parking. If you want to fall down the rabbit hole, learn how to do esphome. I've got it doing a number of tasks around the house that are wholly impossible with Insteon.
