I tried adding a third switchlinc (less than 6 feet away from the other one and on the same circuit), but have the same problem again. It's replying back in the beginning, but not continuing after "link begin". I turned everything off again, but no luck. I will try again tomorrow morning, maybe there is a noisemaker on the line somewhere that was off by chance this morning when I was able to add the other ones. Brian, yes, the microcell's power supply is on the same circuit as the PLM. Don't have another filterlinc lying around unfortunately. With the 2 switchlincs I added this morning I've had no problem so doesn't look like the zwave sensors are interfering. I take out their batteries / remove power when I try to add the switchlincs.

Thanks Brian. Are Insteon and ZWave close enough to cause interference?

Michel, LeeG, I got it to work! I do indeed have a baby monitor (angelcare 927MHz) and a thermostat (Z-Wave 900 MHz, but far away), and I also recently installed a few Aeon lab multisensors (Z-Wave 900 MHz) which I assume are all causing interference. I also have an AT&T microcell (850 and 1900 MHz) in the same closet as my PLM. I turned all of them off, but it didn't help. I then took a closer look and at my lamplincs and by chance it seems they were all on the same phase. So I moved one around (using the method described in http://www.insteon.net/pdf/2443.pdf) and that did it. I was able to successfully add the 2 new switchlincs, and now it all works even with the other RF equipment on. Thank you both so much for your help! These 2 wire switchlincs are a life saver in our old house. Braq

LeeG, thanks again for your help. The count came up consistent as 26 links (count 38). I don't think this is the issue as I successfully added 2 new keypadlincs after trying to add the switchlincs.

Thanks. Power cycled the PLM and put 4 dual band lamplincs around the switchlinc and tried again. Same story. Here is the output from event viewer. Each time I do this I have to power cycle the ISY and PLM as the ISY is no longer able to communicate with the PLM. If I try to turn off/on a light it doesn't go through anymore, but after power cycling it works again. Feels like the PLM is not sending/receiving the final command and freezes somewhere in the process.

Tried that. They are not in the list.

I need help as I'm having major trouble adding 2 new switchlinc 2-wire dimmers (RF only) - model 2474DWH (v1.0) to my ISY 99i. I tried everything I can think of, but cannot get ISY to finish adding them. The switchlincs are controlling the loads (ceiling lights) fine so the install is good. I tried adding them both with "new insteon device" and "start linking", but every time the progress bar quits abruptly after "writing 0 bytes to devices" and my ISY no longer sees any traffic come through so I have to cut the power to both the ISY and PLM (2413S) to get them working again. I have many other switchlincs/in-linelinc/appliancelinc/lamplinc dual band/fanlinc that I've been using for several months without any trouble and I just installed a few new keypadlincs that I was able to add to the ISY on the first try. Should I be doing something special for this to work? ISY and UI are v3.2.6. Here is the output from the event viewer (level 3). You can see the ISY is able to communicate with the device, but stops after "LNK-BGN". Any ideas?
