So I guess I learned a little something.....nothing to do with the AFBrkr and all to do with the super signal sucker 32" plasma television plugged into the circuit. Live and learn I guess. You know the old saying.... a.s.s.u.m.e "*** of you and me". Easy fix....throw some more money at it / pl filter. Thanks all for your comments Cheers M

Yes I am kind of making that assumption simply because I know it is not the receptacle as it functions elsewhere, I have a 2460 Dimmer and a 2466S Toggle operating in the same room which is also on the same phase "B"...works like a charm. I've also tried lamp dimmer module in that same "original" receptacle and it does not work either. My architecture is ....as best as I can explain only have'n had this gear 3 weeks.....main house panel utility receptacle gets me directly on Phase"A" thru 2413S DualSerial. Across the same room is 2433 WirelessCoupler getting me onto Phase"B". I am assuming the data travels From ISY to Phase"A", across the room wireless to phase"B" receptacle, back to bus "over wire", thru AF breaker and up to bedroom "over wire" ??? Of the 12 odd devices I've installed this is the only location that has caused me grief so far. The length of wire from panel-to-receptacle in question is by no means substantially longer than the panel-to-switch (not on AFBkr) which works fine. I have no problem swapping out breaker in panel as a test...although I'm still a little tired from wiring in 12 or so devices around the house. I work in electrical/automation engineering but not really technically "up" on this gear (yet). I'm certainly not "up" on the limitations of this technology....such as signal loss etc across house wiring etc. All comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. M

Hi... So I tried to install a 2473SWH receptacle in our master bedroom, and I tried and tried (and fussed and farted and swapped) and finally realized these receptacle(s) go thru an arc-flash type breaker (Cutler Hammer model something or other) and this was probably the reason it was not able to communicate (this receptacle worked elswhere). After reading a bit on forum I see at least 1 solution would be to purchase another wireless access point and plug it in to that circuit. As an altenative does anyone know of any other models of Arcflash breakers that may be a little more compatible with Insteon communications ? A new breaker (or 2) may be a less expensive alternative to what I think is my problem. Cheers M

Thanks for your thoughts io_guy.....I'll put some more serious thought into that approach....sounds like more money (haha...boowaa) Cheers M.A.

Michel Thanks for that....I just don't want to stick a PC in the middle of my "control network" to perform tasks. Being into industrial automation, I typicall don't like doing "controls" thru a PC.....but that's just my opinion Anyways....I'll trudge along with the "web enabled" interface of the 2DS for now I guess. Your efforts are none-the-less appreciated Have a great day.... M.A.

Thanks for your reply Michel The link to the PDF is http://forum.eyez-on.com/FORUM/viewtopi ... 6218f1da60 I tried to upload PDF as attachment but I guess the forum does not allow this. Anyways...any assistance you may be willing to provide is muchly appreciated. I'll email you pdf as well Cheers.... M

Hi all.... I recently purchased a Envisalink 2DS Internet/Ethernet module for my DCS alarm system. Although it has remote access capabilities I would still like to interface it with my 99i (like flashing all lights when intrusion is detected, arm / disarm thru 99i). That being said, and assuming I need to purchase the network interface module for the 99i, does anyone have a "clue" as to how I would do this. I am a jack-of-all-trades and master of none (I program PLC's and operator interfaces 'n stuff). I am not really "up" on opening up TCP ports, establishing connections etc. I did manage to find some documentation on the Envisalink TPI which does contain what I think is the rudimentary message structure (CMD, DATA, CHKSUM, CR/LF) and commands. Ideally I would need to be able to send commands and recieve status messages from the unit. If I'm barking up the "impossible tree" let me know. Hey....just point me down the right road and I may figure it out. Any comments are sincerely appreciated. Cheers..... M.A.

Thanks SO much for that idea...I disabled Kaspersky AV and all seems to be well Cheers and many thanks again Marc

Why is it I CONSTANTLY have to exit and restart the administrator console when programming my controller (99i) to get it refresh? I add ANYTHING (scenes, devices, etc) and it does not show up until I completely exit console and restart. This is very frustrating and confusing. Any comments are appreciated.....
