Is it still possible to send HTTP commands to the Hub 2 with FW 1018+

[linuxman0000]

It's in PowerShell, but this might help you understand how to send direct commands through the Insteon hub.

Couple things, I actually pull the list of devices from a network UNC that runs houselinc (I use this to populate the PowerShell dynamic parameter InsteonDeviceName). A PowerShell dynamic parameter can pull device names in many ways.

Search and replace the following strings below, then drop the function in a PowerShell module or script.

insert_computer_name_here -> your computername
insert_hub_ip_here -> your hub ip address

insert_hub_local_user_name -> your hub local username
insert_password_in_clear_text_here -> your hub local password


# Set Power-Level (which includes on/off and brightness if the Insteon device is a dimmer).

function Set-InsteonDevicePowerLevel {
[CmdLetBinding()]
[OutputType([string])]
Param (
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 1)]
[ValidateSet("Off", "10", "25", "50", "50", "55", "60", "65", "70", "75", "90", "On")]
[string]$PowerLevel
)

DynamicParam {

# InsteonDeviceName

# Set the dynamic parameters' name
$ParameterName = 'InsteonDeviceName'

# Create the dictionary
$RuntimeParameterDictionary = New-Object System.Management.Automation.RuntimeDefinedParamet erDictionary

# Create the collection of attributes
$AttributeCollection = New-Object System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection[System.Attribute]

$ParameterAttribute = New-Object System.Management.Automation.ParameterAttribute
$ParameterAttribute.Mandatory = $true
$ParameterAttribute.Position = 0

# Add the attributes to the attributes collection
$AttributeCollection.Add($ParameterAttribute)

# Generate and set the ValidateSet
$houseLincSettings = [xml](Get-Content "\\insert_computer_name_here\users\Public\Smar tLab s\HouseLinc\Settings\HouseLinc.settings.xml")
$insteonDevices = $houseLincSettings.settings.insteon.active_devices .device

$deviceArrSet = $insteonDevices | Select-Object -Property displayName
$ValidateSetAttribute = New-Object System.Management.Automation.ValidateSetAttribute( $deviceArrSet.displayName)

# Add the ValidateSet to the attributes collection
$AttributeCollection.Add($ValidateSetAttribute)

# Create and return the dynamic parameter
$RuntimeParameter = New-Object System.Management.Automation.RuntimeDefinedParamet er($ParameterName, [string], $AttributeCollection)
