The problem

Problem discovered while attempting to set Motion Sensor II to "Night only mode" to true on the Insteon integration page, under Properties. The problem only seems to be with the Motion Sensor II devices, there are three Motion Sensors II in the system, unable to Load/Write to any. Load/Write works to other Insteon device types: dimmer switch, outlets.

Hey there @teharris1, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (insteon) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

Forgot to mention the system is using a Insteon 2245-222 hub with Home Assistant running on a Raspberry Pi 4.

[teharris1]

I looked at the code and this issue is effecting all battery-powered devices and modems. The data does load but the UI says there is an error.

[Ben94089]

I tried it, again, it does appear the state changes but after leaving the Insteon page and returning, the state returns to original setting, it doesn't look like the data gets written to the device; the lights continue to turn on during daylight. Something odd did happen, now the lights do not timeout as before, they remain on until manually turned off, Motion timeout value shows 60.

I didn’t see this so thought I would ask. Are you putting the device in linking mode first? All battery devices have always had to be manually put into linking mode before attempting to update them via 3rd party integrations? The HomeSeer plug in warns you of this when attempting a change on any battery device.

[Ben94089]

I tried the linking mode and it didn't make any difference, thanks.

[Ben94089]

I believe one problem, might be, the settings are different between the Insteon Motion Sensor (2842-292) and Insteon Motion Sensor II (2844-222), the above screenshot shows the incorrect settings for the Motion Sensor II. Please see...

I just wanted to pipe in that I am having the exact same issue. It only affects the motion sensor whose parameter I attempted to adjust via the new INSTEON tab.
