Insteon Hub stops responding to HA after some time

Greetings HA folks,

I’m running HA 0.108.3 (after getting back to tinkering with it). I have a problem where HA and my Insteon Hub 2245 stop talking after an hour or two.

2020-04-05 21:06:00 ERROR (MainThread) [insteonplm] Reconnect to Hub (TimeoutError)e
2020-04-05 21:06:00 WARNING (MainThread) [insteonplm.plm] Lost connection to Insteon Modem: Truee

One remedy I’ve tried is re-starting HA, which does work. But about an hour or two the same lost connection message happens.

While looking through the HA logs, I also noticed several messages like the following:

e2020-03-29 18:36:49 WARNING (MainThread) [insteonplm.devices] Device 29.50.E1 did not respond to an ID requeste

None of the Insteon addresses are for devices that I have installed. Sadly, I know where they ARE installed: My Previous home.

Could these devices be causing me problems? My next question is how to remove them from the Hub? I’m sure a factory reset of the hub would work, but I don’t want to re-link 30+ devices to it.

I tried using insteonplm_interactive, but had no luck. I tried the del_all_link command like this:

insteonplm: del_all_link 1 2950e1
insteonplm: Starting the All-Linking process
Attempting to link the PLM to device 2950e1.
19 devices added to the All-Link Database

But the device apepars to remain in the Hub.

Interestingly, trying to use group 0 yields an error - looking at the code I can’t figure out why group 0 is an error:

insteonplm: del_all_link 0 2950e1
Group number not valid

I tried deleting th address from both group 0 and 1 because they were both listed in the hub’s aldb:

ALDB record: {'memory': 0x0001, 'inuse': 0x01, 'mode': R, 'highwater': 0x00, 'group': 0x01, 'address': 29.50.E1, 'data1': 0x00, 'data2': 0x00, 'data3': 0x00}
ALDB record: {'memory': 0x0000, 'inuse': 0x01, 'mode': C, 'highwater': 0x00, 'group': 0x00, 'address': 29.50.E1, 'data1': 0x03, 'data2': 0x42, 'data3': 0x43}

I would appreciate any help the HA community can offer.

Best regards,
John Bernstein
