    Python Insteon PLM <-> MQTT bridge

  • There aren't really any Insteon logs per se. I use Insteon-MQTT which has a log of course (excerpt below), but it's not really useful. Insteon-MQTT communicates with an Insteon Power Line Modem (PLM), which really is just a bridge between USB and the Insteon network (both RF and powerline, despite being called only a "PLM"). The PLM presents itself as a tty to the host PC, and reports all of the traffic on the Insteon network as well as accepts commands to be sent to the network. Light switches (and some other devices) have four events as a result of physical activation: ON, FAST ON, OFF, FAST OFF, where that "fast" variety is a double tap (Insteon has no support for more than two taps, although I suppose one could fake this in software).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
