See the following document for information on the 6e and 6f commands.

Below is a search with the temperature from the thermostat:

sourcetype=insteon_plm from=20.48.61 cmd1=6e | eval temperature=(tonumber(cmd2, 16)/2)

((category=5 subcategory=b) OR (category=3 subcategory=37)) (cmd1=6e OR cmd1=6b) modem_command_code=50  `get_command_info` | eval temperature=(tonumber(cmd2, 16)/2) | timechart avg(temperature) by from_device_name

Temperature can be requested by the following command:

| insteoncommand cmd1=6a cmd2=00 device=2c.47.59

You can then evaluate the temperature with the following:

sourcetype=insteon_plm (to=2c.47.59 OR from=2c.47.59) | eval temperature=(tonumber(cmd2, 16)/2)

Some observations:

1. An extended command (| insteoncommand device="20.48.61" command="thermostat_info") gets the data in an extended command response
   1. This appears to be the set-point data; not the temperature
2. A cmd1=6a to a wired thermostat will return the temperature or humidity in the cmd2 field based on the cmd2 of the request (00 = temp, 20 = setpoint, 60 = humidity)
3. cmd1=6a commands seem to report the temperature and humidity on wired thermostats
4. External temperature can be seen in the 0x73 command with the cmd2 containing the temperature
5. The docs indicate that 6E commands report temperature, 6F report humidity
6. A command request of 6e to the wired thermostat did not obtain the temperature
7. The Insteon app seems to get the data out of the ED 2E command

1. Does the 6A command work on wireless thermostats?
   1. No
2. How can the extended command info be parsed for the temperature?
3. Can temperature reporting be setup? See "To set a device to get status reporting add a controller of device link with group 0xEF and set 0x2E to 0x08" in http://cache.insteon.com/developer/2441THdev-062012-en.pdf

This shows the extended commands:

sourcetype=insteon_plm (from=33.dc.e1 OR from=20.48.61 OR from=2c.47.59)  extended=1  | eval nice_time=strftime(_time, "%d/%m/%Y %I:%M:%S %p") | table nice_time from data cmd2 

Got a search that parse the extended data:

sourcetype=insteon_plm (from=33.dc.e1 OR from=20.48.61 OR from=2c.47.59) cmd1=2e extended=1 data=01* | eval nice_time=strftime(_time, "%d/%m/%Y %I:%M:%S %p") | eval set_point_cool=tonumber(substr(data,13, 2),16) | eval set_point_heat=tonumber(substr(data,23, 2),16) | eval humidity=tonumber(substr(data,15, 2),16) | eval temperature=((tonumber(substr(data,19,2),16) + 256*tonumber(substr(data,17,2),16))/10)*1.8 + 32 | table nice_time from_device_name temperature set_point_cool set_point_heat temperature humidity
