Thx. I'll try again

Good question. I noted this while reading the WIKI info. I have several battery operated devices (i.e., water sensors in the crawl space). I planned to address these after I installed the new PLM. I will look at the admin console for battery icon. Do you believe that this was the cause of the failure to update?

The other day I attempted to replace a buggy PLM with a new device. Per the WIKI manual, I unplugged the 994, then connected the new PLM, then repowered the 994, then selected "restore PLM" in the admin console. The "system busy" box then displayed but progress stopped at ~25% (4 tries). l then tried "restore devices" but got nowhere. I ended up reinstalling a backup ISY file to restore the system back to where it was (I had deleted a number of unused nodes in an attempt to streamline the PLM search process). Any suggestions/comments on what the problem is? As you can tell, I'm a rookie at this.

Many thanks for the additional comments/suggestions! I will follow up re PLM data and yes, Bob, I may be interested in your solution.

Spoke with a rep at Compacta and she stated that they stopped selling the EZ108SA several years ago as part of a pivot away from residential home automation. She also said that the problem is probably the PLM since its shelf life is not that long especially with the additional stress of high temperatures.

Many thanks to both for your informative responses. Actually, the company behind the product appears to be Compacta International, Ltd. based in San Juan Capistrano, CA. I left a message with tech support re the issue. Hopefully they can assist. 8 Output / 7 Input Insteon/X10 Controller (product description under "Quick Start Guide"). Kinda confusing who actually sells and supports the product. Good advice re the PLM. I will follow up on this. I actually replaced the power supply a few days ago as the first troubleshooting step. No issues found.

I recently purchased a home in which the previous owner installed a smart home network managed with a 994i hub. I have an eisy that I plan to install but before I do, I need to troubleshoot an issue with an Insteon EZ108SA V2 #3011A I/O Controller that is installed in an outdoor box that houses the switches for the pool pump, pool light (underwater), front landscape lighting and back landscape lighting (around the pool). Currently, I have to reboot the circuit each morning in order for the pool pump and back lighting to turn on/off per the program in the 994i while the front lighting remains on 24/7 (should turn off each am). I have noted that the system alerts a "communication error" with the EZ108SA (I have rebooted the device multiple times). I would prefer upgrading to another device since I perceive that the Insteon is fried due to prolonged exposure to high summer heat. Can anyone advise me on how to resolve this? I want to ensure that the circuit is working well before I upgrade to the eisy.
