I see the same and was finally able to get the controller to lock on and connect to the isolated network. Sometimes network appliances don't behave correctly when tethered all the while trying to make a wireless connection. Once I thought the wireless connection was made I rebooted the system and disconnected the hardline - no joy. I must have tried easily a dozen times and just randomly it stuck??? Regardless, please advise me if you see any DNS entries in the three fields as mine is still blank??

I believe this has been sorted out as to *Why its not there*. Back in the day I recall the WiFi showed up as WLAN and not just IGB0 ~ IGB2 etc. I toggled through the list and poof the system began updating itself. Now, the system presents the WiFi boxes I recall from the past. Like others there appears to be an issue with how the system connects to the network. Also I don't recall if the unit support dual band 2.4 / 5.0 - Yes / No? As I see my 5.0 network on the list but can't connect to it either??

Sorry to pile on but I used to see the option to connect to a WiFi SSID. Since installing a new mSata drive (Thanks Michel) I no longer see it. Was there also not a scan button somewhere - not here now??

I personally wouldn’t be using any Insteon device built before 2015. As anything before that year will have the ALL ON / ALL OFF command set. If this is intended for the GDO you surely don’t want the largest door opening up all by itself while you’re away! To be more specific Insteon engineers indicate October 2013 as the date the above command set was removed from all new production hardware. Hardware that was in control of Smarthome was reflashed to remove the same. The reality is that wasn’t true or addressed hardware out in the wild held by 3rd party sellers. I know this to be true because I purchased a huge lot spanning December 2013 - November 2014 and these devices were impacted by the ALL ON / ALL OFF command set! Even worse in 2015 - 2016 I received brand new hardware from Smarthome built in 2014?!? The last sale on Smarthome also showed retail boxes that only existed in 2013 - 2014 yet were sold in 2021?!? The lack of FIFO inventory management control is clearly evident by this half assed company!

I leave the forums for just a minute and everyone is just raging on! ?

Can an antagonist be a hero? A Hero Antagonist is a character who is an antagonist (that is, they oppose The Protagonist), yet is still technically a hero.... They could also be completely correct in their assertions simply because the main character is a Villain Protagonist. ?

If you have a Pro version turn off battery writes. It will make all battery operated devices grey in color. Go to one single device and right mouse click and select write updates to device.

The bottom of the case is pressed fit (FIC). You'll need a plastic spugger / pry tool to go around the perimeter and open it up.

The next ongoing project is to R&R some leak sensors. One literally just died upon needing a battery change. The other was a brand new unit that simply won’t enrol to the Insteon network having tried every possible solution and test! These surface mount components are extremely small and close together so had to order more kapton tape and SMD tweezers as my reflow gun would probably blow off the adjacent components while trying to remove the existing part(s).

Going off memory several were revision v1.B 05 /43 week 2013. Another was revision v1.C don't recall the production date. Ideally the capacitor would have been installed flush with the PCB but two side components were soldered in place at a angle with no leads left to resolder. ? That being the case the soda can would have been several millimeters off the PCB and would not clear the top cover once installed. ? The safest approach was to install the capacitor and bend the leads to allow the entire component to lay flat within the assembly. Given the long lead 600 volt rated clear heat shrink tubing was installed to insure no possible shorts. Like you I have lots of Access Points (AP) from the past but have since removed them all as the entire home uses dual band devices. I'm totally fine by that as that's less wall warts taking up an outlet along with less energy consumption!

Side view of the soda can! [emoji2357]

I know some members have inquired how that huge 10 uF @400V soda can sized capacitor is supposed to fit with in the 2413S PLM casing. I had to repair six of these units for others in the last few months so took some pictures as to how that cap lays inside along with the heat shrink tubing to protect the leads from touching one another.

That’s the best you can offer?!? Weak sauce . . . [emoji2357][emoji1787]

Did my reply change the material FACTS?!? No . . . Did Michel affirm what I stated up above?!? Yes . . . Is this forum open for the community to offer their knowledge and insight?!? Yes . . . Are you the only key holder to offer an answer on the forums?!? The f^cken hubris . . . [emoji107]

That is the whole point of science to learn and iterate. It’s not opinion it’s the facts on hand at that time to come up with hypothesis. The two should not be confused with opinion . . . As I stated early on one must obtain unbiased information to obtain the facts. Just because 15 iSheep say yes he crossed the road when they never even saw me. You eliminate that data point because they are too stupid to live! [emoji3516]

Don’t let the facts get in the way - eh?!? [emoji2357][emoji1787][emoji107]

You’re mistaken as I have historic events and time lines to affirm the same. The magic bullet is the information I provided is what?!? Affirmed by the source - UDI . . . [emoji106]

Sorry don’t agree - facts are rooted in the information gathered by unbiased sources of information. Generally speaking facts are based on historical data gleaned from current events to determine what transpired. Obviously if human is part of that equation one must ask human what happened. Since human is quite fallible if possible multi points of information must be gathered and obtained to achieve a level of accuracy. Example: I crossed the road. How is that event determined to have happened?!? Regardless of how that information is obtained that event is based on what?!? Past event - history . . . It doesn’t matter what anyone says the action is - I walked across the road. Your reply about opinions applies to everything whether it be true or not. That’s why it’s important to ask the right questions to obtain the facts! [emoji3516]If 100 people are asked if I crossed the road the answer will very - why?!? Because some may not be paying attention and assumed I was already on that side. Some will just say yes because they are like the millions of iSheep and just want to conform and want to be part of a larger collective. The rest will simply affirm what they observed of me crossing the road. So if 80 people affirm me crossing the road that so called opinion has weight even though it’s not opinion it’s fact. An opinion is stating I walked very slowly compared to someone else. They didn’t like the colour of my sneakers even though it has no relevance to the question at hand - did I cross the road?!?

I didn’t have to do anything you did that all by yourself. [emoji106] My initial reply was given based on historical facts I know to be true. It’s not based on how I feel or other. [emoji3516] What I take issue is your lack of internet decorum of replying (yelling) by using all caps at me for no reason! You’ve been around forums long enough and know the UDI forum members. To know, if you’re going to put someone on blast. You better have the facts in hand because I’m the last guy you want to fight with.

I’m not sure what your need to argue with people is?!? [emoji2357] My reply was based and rooted in historical facts as to how UDI releases its firmware. It wasn’t speculation or what I might think! History is the victor and affirms my position - which means YOU’RE WRONG! [emoji1787][emoji106] Go toss a salad and drink a beer and ponder that.

Think you got your answer. [emoji2357][emoji1787]
