From the online help:
ph_getinsteonstat ( s )

A string representing the Insteon Device ID from which you wish to retrieve the status.

Return value
Integer. Returns the status associated with the specified Insteon Device ID that PowerHome currently has stored. Valid values are 0 for Unknown, 1 for Off, and 2 for On.

However, when I try :
ph_getinsteonstat("kitchen lights")

or "kitchen light" (no last "s")

I get a return of 1 or 2, never the "0" (for unknown device). In my case, I have "kitchen lights" but I do not have "kitchen light" defined. A zero should have been returned.

How are you testing the ph_.... command. Are you sure you did a Save when testing the invalid combination.

I guessing in the dark here but you have a space between the name. ph_getinsteonstat("kitchen lights"). Maybe ph_getinsteonstat("kitchen_lights") would work better.

I see the same thing, but, I believe Unknown is the response for unknown status, not the device. I would expect a -1 return value.
