I bought a couple of the mini remotes thinking that they would be a good solution to my intermittent issues with Alexa not playing ball with my Insteon hub. I basically have Alexa controlling my lights via the Insteon hub - no replacement light switches.
I thought, seeing as you cannot override Insteon bulbs with the light switch, like you can Philips Hue bulbs, I could get a couple of the mini remotes and have them as switches to control the lights when my Echo devices have a fit ;-)
I don't see how I can associate the mini remote though with the Rooms/Scenes that I have defined though to work the lights. I have Kitchen as a room/scene with 6 bulbs and Morning room with 4 bulbs but I don't see how to make the connection to the remotes to set on/off/dim for the rooms. I also have a House scene to control all lights so would like to add that as a house off button.
If anyone has some good pointers or resources I would really appreciate it. I got the mini remote into the Insteon setup showing as a device but that was it. I'm so lost!
Thanks for any help!
