Communications issues with Insteon Appliance Linc
Or the 470uF/35V capacitor failed or is deteriorate. I had one start cycling on and off at about a 30 cycle rate. I replaced it and it again was fine. I did it to all my real old V1.4 modules. I have also had the 30V Zener diode in the V4.0 and above short out. Rendering it dead.

SWL odd behaviour
You have tried the power down and back up reset? Factory reset and restore?

Random 'Failed Communicating with <device>'
Do you have the date code and revision number for the PLM. Usually on a sticker on the back of the PLM. It possibly could be a recently added noise maker or signal sucker or something changed. Did you possibly change some devices or start adding holiday lights and devises?

UPS and Insteon Best Practices
I have a Insteon FilterLinc with the UPS on the filtered outlet and my PLM in the unfiltered outlet on the front. With no effects I have seen. The FilterLinc is a 10 Amp rated unit and should be fine as long as the UPS has a 10 amp or lower line current rating.

Insteon Webinar 11/13/2025
Thank you for the information. It has been so long now. It could actually be a completely PLM than the one in the FCC Database. As parts used may no longer be made.

Not too sure when if ever the new PLM may show up. I second the real long time as it was originally during the Richardson ownership I beleive. FCC: SBP22342, 2234-222 USB, 2234-223 Serial.

New eisy Model, home r2, 994 upgrade Path offer
Doesn't bother me. I just wanted to point it out. I am 100% happy with my ISY994i as it does everything I need.

New eisy Model, home r2, 994 upgrade Path offer
Did notice a few things in the email information. The new R2 has wi-fi 5.0 and Bluetooth 5.1 and the older wi-fi 6.0 and Bluetooth. May not make much difference for some while it may for others.

Test Hookup Device for INSTEON Switches
Other manufacturers also make similar devices to the Wago and should work fine.

Test Hookup Device for INSTEON Switches
I did the same as what Mr Bill is doing. But for safety added a WAGO on the Insteon modules RED wire so it could not touch anything. I have also cut a 3 conductor extension cord in half and was also connecting the socket end to the setup. So a load could be added to see how it controlled a load. WAGO Lever nuts come in 2,3 and 5 position sizes so connecting both ends of an extension cord can be done.

EZIO8SA no longer supported?
Thank you for the update.

INSTEON Address Label Worn Off
I put my Insteon devices addresses in a database besides marking it in the module. Mine where worn off on the remotes. Also real old ones had paper stickers that liked to fall off.

X10 Status requests
One more thought. If they are the original 2476S on-off relay models. They do not have an Air Gap switch and used a convoluted way to factory reset them. Easy way to tell. If pulling out the set button (Air Gap) and the module does not power off. It is a real old original design. The 2476D dimmer always had an Air Gap Switch

X10 Status requests
J/Status Request in X10 signaling is all ones. 11111111. It sounds like noise to me also.

Newbe Insteon + X10 + Zwave
The old X10 power line interface device will not be used with either eisy or ISY994i Both require a 2413 PLM. ISY994i a 2413S serial port PLM, Eisy a 2413U USB PLM or optional USB to serial 2413S adapter UDI sells.
