If you have a Lamplinc, a On/Off module or a Range Extender, which are all dual band, you can try plugging one into the IOlinc to see if that eliminates your problem. If it does then you most likely have a powerline communication issue that you'll need to work on.
-
If your using the ISY994 then use the CAT5 cable between the ISY and the PLM. Be sure to exactly follow the PLM replacement procedures. found here Do not do a "delete modem" https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:File_Menu You may also need a power supply http://www.smarthome.com/universal-devices-isy-power-supply.html

You can try a restore PLM which might give you a temporary fix but you'll still most likely need to replace it.
-
What's the date code and version on your PLM. Is the green led on the PLM lit?
-
A range extender or a external dual band module such as an on/off module will probably give you better RF range due to the location of their antennas.
-
If you want use this as a remote then, depending how your house and garage are configured, you'll need a dual band device or a range extender near the garage door in order to optimize the range of the remote which is only about 50 feet. The IOLinc, which I assume you'll be using to trigger the garage opener is not a dual band device.
-
Did you link the IOLincs to the ISY using the ISY linking option? Do you have any other controllers installed other than the ISY? If you trigger the IOLinc program from the ISY rather than from MobiLinc do you get the same results?
-
Can you be a little more specific. Are you referring to the 2342-222 Remotelinc?
-
Try setting the on level to 1 and the off level to 0 If the on level is set too high then the led will still be lit when the button is off. The exact ratios vary from keypad to keypad depending on their firmware version so you'll have to play with the numbers to get the results you want. Hope this helps.
-
What program/action turns on the IOlinc relay(s) What options do you have enabled for the IOLinc?
-
The default user name and password are both "admin" If that doesn't work then try Stu's suggestion
-
Were you using the default login or did you change it?
-
The motion sensors will time out after a preset time. In your program use STATUS not CONTROL in your IF clause to trigger your scenes. When the sensor turns off then so will your scene as the status is no longer true.

Unchecking the "run as administrator" box had no effect, I still get the Account user popup window when I run the admin shortcut. I wonder if they changed / enhanced Java security in the recent release.
-
Yes, but it had no effect I didn't have this issue prior to updating Java to the current release
-
I just updated to the latest Java 8 release 111 on a Windows 10 machine. After clearing the Java cache and applications I downloaded the Java applet but could not get an Icon to appear on my desktop. I had to uninstall Java and reinstall and then was able to get the admin icon. I'm running this application in the Windows XP compatibility mode due to the high screen resolution in windows 10 which makes the admin console fonts small and unreadable However I'm now getting a User Account Control pop up window each time I run the admin console. What do I need in order to bypass this window. The account control windows doesn't pop up if I run the admin console in the native windows 10 mode
-
Do the leds match any of those on the troubleshooting chart below? You also might want to try reseating the ISY SD card. Be sure to remove power from the ISY before removing / inserting the SD card
-
It's rare to have multiple PLMs fail. Is it possible that you have some type of electrical interference on your powerline. Do you have a long extension cord that would allow you to plug the PLM into a different circuit?
-
Is the green led on the PLM lit when it's plugged in?

Did you exactly follow the replace modem instructions? Replace Modem (PLM)This operation is most useful when you need to replace a defective PLM and the ISY is rebooted with a new PLM. When the communication links were established via the Link Management Menu, the PLM and INSTEON devices adds each device addresses it is linked to, in its own link table. The ISY also reads and stores the PLM’s address at boot up. The ISY stores all the configurations settings of the lighting network. If you are replacing a PLM the ISY will have the old PLM address link stored in it. Warning: Never replace your PLM while the ISY is running because it will assume it is still connected with the old PLM. The ISY will appear to work, but it will be writing the address of the old PLM into the device links, thus you will not see devices updates etc. If this menu option is selected, the ISY goes through all INSTEON devices looking for old and new PLM address links. If an old PLM address link is found, it replaces them with the address of the new PLM and adds the corresponding device link to the new PLM. To replace a PLM: Unplug ISY from the power outlet Unplug the PLM from ISY and power outlet Connect ISY’s port A to the new PLM Plug the new PLM into a power outlet Plug ISY into a power outlet Go to Admin Console and wait for system initialization to completeIf you have PRO Series, click on the Battery icon at the top. This will prevent ISY from trying to update programming on your RF devices which are probably in sleep mode Click on the Restore Modem (PLM) menu optionIn case ISY cannot communicate (or decides not to if an RF device/PRO Series) during the process, you will have a series of nodes with green 1011 icons in the device tree. For each one of those nodes: If an RF device, ensure that the device is in Programming mode Right mouse click | Write pending updates ... If the above procedure fails on many of your devices, it's highly recommended that you follow the instructions for Restore Devices

The ISY only has provisions for one email account. The "FROM" field allows you to customize the specific email ,i.e. "from Alarm system", but not the email account
-
Did you put the device into the linking mode before you tried the RESTORE DEVICE and WRITE UPDATES TO DEVICE
-
The 2420M is discontinued, the current version is the 2842-222. v.41 is the firmware version. I think v.21 is the device hardware version The Insteon Address ID should be on a label inside the motion sensor. Run a Topology report, it's found under Tools | Generate Topology. That will create a list of all your devices along with their Insteon Address, firmware version, etc.

If your ISY is showing the device firmware at 00 then it didn't install correctly, you should delete and then reinstall it. You'll need to manually put it into the linking mode. Make sure the sensor is within range of a dual band device. Write a program similar to the one below. Program the changes you want into the ISY, then walk in front of the motion sensor and the changes should be written to the device. If Status 'your motion sensor' is On Then Set 'your motion sensor' Write Device Updates Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
