I just installed my IRLinc and it took me a while to figure how integrate it with Indigo. So, to save everyone time, here are the steps to actually make it work.
This example will let you know how to control an already installed and working Indigo integrated light switch with almost any IR remote via a new IRLinc. This "How To" assumes you have at least some basic knowledge of Insteon and Indigo:
1. Plug IRLinc in to wall and plug the IR receiver (cable with small receiver on end) in to the IRLinc.
2. Create a new device in Indigo using the Insteon address of your new IRLinc.
3. In "Devices" double click the new IRLinc device so that the "Edit Device IRLinc" window opens up. Note the button "Send PowerLinc Set Button Pressed" but do not press it yet.
4. On the Physical IRLinc, hold the set button for 5 seconds and release.
5. Point your IR remote at the IRLinc's connected IR receiver and push the button on your remote that you want to control a particular Indigo controlled light (or any Insteon product, execute an applescript, etc). I used a basic Sony remote that came with my TV and it worked fine.
6. Now go back to your computer and press the "Send PowerLinc Set Button Pressed" button. You have now created "Button 1" on your IRLinc and have associated it with that particular button that you pressed on your IR remote. To test it, open your "Event Log window and every time you press that button on your IR remote the Indigo event log should read something like ""IRLinc" start dim (button 1)".
***** The IRLinc has now been successfully installed and associated with an IR remote button *****
7. Create a new "Trigger Action" with the following information:
Trigger:
Type - Insteon Command Received
Received - On, Button/Group 1
From - Device, IRLinc
Condition:
Always
Actions:
Type - Control Light / Appliance
Action - Turn On
Device - Family Room Light
8. NOTE I was finding that doing the above controlled the light every other time that I pushed the IR remote button. That is because the IRLinc seems to operate in Toggle mode ... ie, press the remote button once and it sends Button 1 ON command, press the same remote button again and it sends Button 1 OFF command. Accordingly, you need to duplicate the "Trigger Action" in #7 above and and substitute Received - On, Button/Group 1 for Received - Off, Button/Group 1. That way, whether Indigo receives the On or Off command from the IRLinc, your button works ...
(You can substitute any action such as "Execute AppleScript")
***** You are done and should be able to control the example Light with your IR remote now. *****
