Some browser commands to update router configuration

There are a number of commands you can do from the browser to semi easily update some settings in your Insteon HUB. These work on the 2242, not sure about 2245. All commands start with http://username:password@yourhubip:25105

/network.htm will allow setting of time, day, and has links to rooms and network settings, and other things.

/rooms.htm lists your rooms, in my case I didn't really use rooms so room 1 has everything for me.

/rNN.htm shows devices in room # NN, so for me, all mine are in /r01.htm

If I click a device that has a schedule, like my house front accent lights from that screen, it shows the schedule and lots of other device data. To disable schedule, set on and off time to 00:00 and select "time" on the right (and of course save). This seems to allow the setting of device names too.

/sun.htm allows you to set your location settings for sunrise/sunset, etc.

/a.html is to change username or password

Really, you can even do raw PLM commands via http though that is not trivial. The screens above are at least easy to use for the most part and work without the cloud.

interesting - I just tried w/ 2245 did not work for any of those... but I am getting a page that says:

404: File not found

Use MPFS Upload to program web pages

where MPFS Upload is a hyperlink to http://mylocalIP:25105/mpfsupload

and it has MPFS Image Upload and 2 buttons to choose file & upload... so someone smarter than me might be able to figure out somewhere to go from here

Yeah, wasn't sure about 2245 but handy for those with 2242. Had these bookmarked many years ago in my browse. For those whose schedules don't work, there;s even a way from command line to turn devices on and off. If you combine this with a scheduled command of some sort (cron on linux, etc), then you can do yoyr own schedule.

I miss my 2242 - it actually was fully usable as a 100% local solution, and could run the old Insteon HouseLinc software that I used it with before I got my ISY. The cloud connection was only for remote work outside of your network, the app at the time could work fully offline.

I wonder if we could sideload 2242 firmware on a 2245

Why do that when you can just run openHAB or Home Assistant?

Already do, but my timers are stuck enabled on my 2245.

Use Insteon-Terminal to save your link db to disk, factory reset your hub to delete timers, use Insteon terminal to restore your link db.

You can't, the 2242 had more powerful hardware to handle all of the integration. It's similar in concept to the Caseta Bridge vs Caseta Bridge Pro - one has more flash, RAM, and CPU to offer the additional services, but the bulk of the core software is the same.
