<hr class="divider">
<p>This component adds “local push” support for INSTEON PowerLinc Modems allowing
linked INSTEON devices to be used within Home Assistant as lights, switches,
and binary sensors. Device support is provided by the underlying <a href="https://github.com/nugget/python-insteonplm">insteonplm</a>
package. It is known to work with both the <a href="https://www.insteon.com/powerlinc-modem-usb">2413U</a> USB and <a href="https://www.insteon.com/powerlinc-modem-serial">2412S</a>
RS242 flavors of PLM. This component does not work with the IP-based hub
products. For that, youll want the “Insteon (Local)” component instead.</p>

</div>
<p>Configuration variables:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>port</strong> (<em>Required</em>): The port for your device, e.g. <code class="highlighter-rouge">/dev/ttyUSB0</code></li>
<li><strong>device_override</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Override the default device platform</li>
</ul>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="customization" href="#customization"></a> Customization</h3>
<p>The only configuration item that is absolutely necessary is the port so that
Home Assistant can connect to the PLM. This will expose all the supported INSTEON
devices which exist in the modems ALL-Link database. However, devices will
only be shown by their INSTEON hex address (e.g. “1A.2B.3C”) which can be a bit
unwieldy. As you link and unlink devices using the Set buttons, theyll be
added and removed from Home Assistant automatically.</p>
<p>You can use the normal Home Assistant <a href="/getting-started/customizing-devices/">device customization</a> section of your
configuration to assign friendly names and special icons to your devices. This
is especially useful for setting device_class on your binary_sensor INSTEON
devices.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="device-overrides" href="#device-overrides"></a> Device Overrides</h3>
<p>INSTEON devices are added to Home Assistant using the platform(s) that make the
most sense given the model and features of the hardware. In most cases this is
unambiguous, but sometimes the component will not be able to guess the actual
usage of the device. For example, there might be a table lamp plugged into an
INSTEON appliance relay module. By default, this will show as a switch
device in Home Assistant, but it really should be a light device. For
exceptions like this, the component supports a device plaform override. You
can set any device (by address) to explicitly use a specific platform if the
default is not correct.</p>
