Mine failed 2 months after the warranty period expired. When I went to replace the capacitors, I noticed that all 5 of them had already been replaced (before I bought it)! I bought it new from Amazon. It must have been a refurbished unit. After replacing the capacitors, (all the same values, but higher voltage ratings), the 2413S comes on, communicates with the 994i, but... I get LOTS of messages "Cannot Communicate With [Device] ([Address]). Please check connection."

I just installed a few KeypadLinc 6-button switches. They have an On button, an Off button, and 4 smaller square buttons. The On and Off buttons control the main load (a light, in my case). If you press On, the light turns on. Press Off, the light turns off. Fine. When you enter the dark room where one of these is installed, it's nice that one of the buttons is lit up. Unfortunately, it's the Off button that's lit up. I usually like to turn on the lights in a dark room, so I need to find the On button, but it's the Off button that is easy to find because it's lit up. When the room light is on, the On button is lit up. Again, if the room is lit up, I don't need the On button to light up to tell me that the room light is on. 1. The button lighting for the On/Off buttons seems to display the status of the load. However, the load is the room light, so the status is redundant with the state of the load. Is there a way to illuminate the button that will change the state, i.e., On for 'turn on the light' and Off for 'turn off the light'? I tried writing a program to set the state of the switch to On if the light was off and Off if the light was On. The results were entertaining. The kitchen lights flashed on and off, generating a lot of traffic on the power lines so it was difficult to re-write and save the program to the controller because it was busy turning the kitchen lights on and off. 2. These buttons should act as toggles...press the top button and it should turn on the load and turn off the light behind the button, just like the four Scene buttons do. Is there a way to program them to do that? Thanks, Chelmite

How much of the programming is in the ISY994i? Can I turn of my PC, or will programs and events not run? Thanks, Chelmite
