Congratulations! I’ve got all the parts today. I’ll work to duplicate using the 2413U in next couple days.

Sounds good. The 2413U as suspected does not provide any power. Be interested to see if you can get power from ISY.

Fantastic! I’m going to start work on seeing if I can apply this to the 2413U. One question … which RS232 to TTL adapter do you plan to use? I plan to use onboard RPi UART so I don’t think I’ll need it but it may make it more reliable. Edit. I ran it on rpi3 and it found the internal serial ttyAMA0 and the usbserial ttyUSB0 of the 2413U! The breakout connector you listed will be here tonight and I’ve got a backup ISY. I’ll add a lamplinc to it for a very simple test.

Both USB ports can power the RPi Zero wireless. The one marked power does not have data pins.

Gotcha. I found a few cases to 3D print to keep it contained.

That’s what I thought. I haven’t looked yet but feels like PiZero should be able to get power from the PLM USB port. Also, I look to see if any cases for pizero have been uploaded to thingiverse.com to modify or use as is.

Congratulations. Do you think the same would apply to a 2413U dual band usb PLM? I ordered one and about to set off on what you’ve done for this device. I’ll wait to see GitHub!

You can’t replace since they do not match. You can look in the admin console when you select the device and it will display which scenes they are a controller and a responder. Even better you can generate a topology in a document. In programs you can find by the device name. I’d copy all programs to clipboard and then paste into a text document. Then you can locate each program with the device name after deleting them and then fix programs like before likely with the same name.

Restore the switches via ISY. You’ve likely got a link in the switches that’s not in the ISY.

Thank you!I glad you located a good equivalent for the C7 and C13.

Brian. This thread has grown so long and you’re the expert. Would you consider a recap (pardon the pun) of which capacitors to be replaced and the best replacement parts from say mouser? It looks like the need to repair is going to increase and it would be a big help for first timers.

I was about to look at writing same software. Do you still have it and would you share it? Several members are in need of PLM and only the usb version is in stock.

I created update list in following post. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/26381-upgrade-from-473-to-5015a-task-list/

I’d take option 2 now but reconsider before I closed up the walls.

Thanks. They had/have them in stock at SmartHome. I bought one at their normal price. To be clear I have 1 plm in the wall and more in the box when this started looking like an issue. I just wanted to see if I could engineer a solution others could use.

It is supposed to be called DE-9 where E is the smaller shell size. Since early PC had DB-25, the B was just carried over but is technically wrong. Trivia for the day. ?

As always, thanks to you UD team for excellent product, service, and support. Still the best I’ve ever encountered.

Out of pure curiosity, I ordered a 2413U. Gonna hook it to RPi with usb A to B cable. Then hook up an USB A to serial converter to RPi. I’ve used several of them on PC. See if drivers exist that will recognize the devices and if I can locate them try to write software to connect reads and writes between them.

I totally agree. My process is helping someone with a need for plm today. Can usb version be converted to serial for ISY ? If do they could order snd get back online. No prediction of future. Just pragmatic help out s fellow ISY user if possible right now.

Usb version is listed in stock right now though.

Very true but the email I was reacting to said the 2413S was being discontinued. Maybe the will still sell U version as it has more sales from other HA platforms? Also, thinking if something could be engineered, we could buy several of them now to bridge UD to whatever the future holds. I also recall a post from someone and picture using a Hub as a PLM by doing done wiring he said would be obvious to those that understood the chip set. Lastly I’m thinking a RPi as a middle man could be worked out to do translation. Keep in mind, I’m wanting to help someone needing a plm now and being out of luck.

I’m sure this has been asked but has a serial to usb device been used to enable the USB PLM to be used with ISY? I don’t agree with the SM decision but serial devices are seldom used now. At least might be solution in the short term..

I had same when I first moved to version 5. I solved it by deleting MobiLinc and it’s data from all mobile devices and adding it back.

I deleted, uninstalled and re-installed the node server. It appears to be fine now.

Yes thanks Michel, it was 12.2 and the script ran many steps in updates for several minutes. I scrolled back through terminal session and located this error before the restart. It’s now running 13 and other than this non working node it appears good and heartbeat is fine on other nodeservers.
