Won’t turn Insteon devices off

[AthenaR0cks]

I can turn devices from Indigo in but not off. Siri will turn devices on but not off. Siri says they are off but they aren’t. The Home app lists them as off but they are on. If I turn them on and then off in the Home app off twice it will turn the device off.

Anyone have any idea of what’s wrong?

I've also noticed similar behavior, albeit with Somfy blinds defined via virtual devices.

It seems that HomeKit does not send an "off" or "on" command again if the device is already in the requested state. Of course, this is myopic since some one-way devices may eventually have incorrect status as is the case with my Somfy blinds which use virtual devices and can be opened via the remotes without Indigo's knowledge (hence the virtual device status variable I've set up for them is not set to on). Indigo on the other hand does not have this behavior, so I'm want to believe that this is strictly a HomeKit issue.

Oh, good. I thought I was just going crazy or it was related to migrating from the older Homebridge Buddy plugin. But looks like other people are experiencing the faux off issue.
