I did a GOOGLE search for "calendar node servers" but out of all the ones found, which one would be the most appropriate for use with my ISY994? I also obtained a program "ddmmyyyy.isy". Could you point me to somewhere that enplanes the use of an isy file. Does all of this require an internet connection to function? I have been programming my ISY994 for many years but only using what's generically provided.

Not all months have the same number of days, for instance Feb. What am I missing. In the above program if I set "some number" equal to 31 aren't there months that will not trigger the "then" path?

I know that this thread is for the PLM but there are similar issues with electrolyitic caps failing in the 2476D wall switch. Since I wasn't able to fix my 2413S I decided to look into why several of my 2476D wall switches were acting up. Lo and behold all of the electrolytic caps (there were only 2) in these units had burst and were leaking. C16 was 100uF@16 WV which I replaced with 100uF@25WV. C2 was 470uF@ 25WV which I replaced with 470uF@35WV. It appears to me that C2 failed because it is laying sidewas up against D10. This diode obviously gets hot because the point at which it touched C2 is where the failure occurred on C2. I assume that C16 failed because of the C2 failure. After replacing these two caps I now have a functional 2476D again.

More information ............ You are correct about the daughter board. If I place a known good daughter board in my nonfunctional 2413S the LED initionally blinks RED but never goes GREEN. If I place either of my daughter boards in my spare (GOOD) 2413S the LED initially blinks RED but then goes GREEN and stays that way. If I press and hold the reset I can get into linking mode as I should. I guess as a previous poster suggested there is more wrong than a few bad capacitators.

I guess my board or the interface to it is bad. When I connect mine back up the LED still blinks RED/GREEN. If anyone is interested here is some info for the chips on the main board. U7 is "Si4420" data sheet is here http://www.silabs.com/products/wireless/EZRadio/Pages/si442021.aspx U5 is PIC 16F648A data sheet is here http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/Devices.aspx?dDocName=en010212 U6 is PIC 16F688 data sheet is here http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/Devices.aspx?dDocName=en010215

Which daughter board are you refering to? The only other board that is in there is the one that has the ethernet connector on it which by the way I don't currently have attached to the main board.

Just to update everyone on what I have done so far on my 2413S. I have checked all of the caps and found them all to be installrd correctly. I have measured voltages across the following caps. These voltages persist even after the LED stops blinking. C3 ~ 164 VDC C11 ~ 4.5 VDC C13 ~ 20.5 VDC C7 ~ 20.6 VDC C8 ~ 5.1 VDC When first powered on the LED starts out RED. It then goes GREEN after a short time (maybe 1/2 second). The cycle RED>GREEN repeats 6 times then the LED goes out. My replacement 2413S when first powered on the LED starts out RED then goes GREEN and stays that way. I have an old but working 2412S that when first powered on the LED starts out OFF then goes bright (blueish white) for a short time (maybe 1/2 second). The cycle OFF>BRIGHT repeats 6 times then the LED goes DIM. The manuals describe how to use a working unit but are not very helpful for troubleshooting. At this point I'm not sure what troubleshooting can be done without a schematic. I guess I will have to try and create one, Anyone have any ideas I would love to hear them.

Yes, I have already checked that. They are all in corectly.

The one that died had no history of problems until it died. A reset didn't change anything. I guess that something other than the capacitors needs replacing. The second one is a replacement that I just purchased from Smarthome. 2413S V1.C 1425

I just received the capacitors from Mouser. Replaced them all. After installing them the unit and powering it up the LED is on but flashing between RED and GREEN. Does anybody know what that means? Another unit that I have just lights up green when plugged in.

My PLM has died. The LED no longer lights up. The sticker says 2413S, V1.4, 1051. As a previous poster has specified there is no visible damage that I can see. I will be ordering the above parts from Mouser but while I wait for them does anyone know of/have a schematic for the 2413S?

Just tried the new update but when applying it I got an error part way through the update process. Tried a second time and the 2nd time it worked. Go figure. Anyway now the VE command shows 2.8.13

My backup is in the mail. I'm still wondering what are the three devices 99, 992 and 994?

I managed to recover from my upgrade. 1- Hold the ISY99 reset button in for at least two reset cycles as observed on the serial port using Hyperterm, about 40 seconds. 2- Connected using the admin console. Note that everything gets reset back to factory defaults. 3- Did a manual firmware update back to 2.8.10 4- Restored the ISY99 state from the backup for 2.8.10 Now I'm functional although my firmware is at 2.8.10

Tried the update again following the directions at the beginning of this thread and now the ISY is unresponsive. While I was upgrading I had Hyperterm connected and here is what was output ......... note the memory error at the very last line.
