## This command line template uses "jq" to process the insteon_devices.json into organized insteon scenes.
## It *only* reads the scenes in the hub (not devive to device scenes).
## It returns JSON as attributes for only records that are "in_use" in the ALDB.

## These two sensors are used to store the currently selected device, group.
## The first one basicially contains the entity_id for the selected device and is populated when a device is selected from an input_select containing all the devices.
## The input_select.insteon_devices is structured as "friendly_name (entity_id)" so one can see what devices are what. The "sensor.selected_insteon_device" parses off the entity_id part.
