Sorry to read of your experience. When you get a chance. Was it one of the old 2456S3 or presently sold 2635-222 on off module?

If it is like the one never seeing the light of day in the FCC Database. It would have a larger faster Link Database; faster processor clock, more universal power supply. Like 120 220VAC 50 60Hz.

Make sure the PLM is totally booted before you power up the eisy. If it is like the older ISY994i PLM detection is during its boot up.

The sticker should also have a revision number on it. That also may give us information on the PLM.

The 2413S and older 2412S PLM use a unique cable. RJ45 to a DB9S connector. Only three wires are used. Serial In; Serial Out; common and in a unique pin out . The other pins are different signals like TTL in and out and the older 2412S also unregulated +12VDC normally around 18.5VDC. To be safe do not connect any other wires to the RJ45 PLM serial connector. Other than the three signals the serial PLM uses.

I agree. Electrician has made a incorrect statement. You need the actual voltage the lights are wired to, type of lights, maybe the current they use and the wattage. If the shop gets warm I may think of halogen or fixtures using vapor discharge. More data is needed to even see if an Insteon switch is capable of safely controlling them directly or maybe controlling a contactor to then control the lights.

Actually there was a 0-10V dimmer module. That was discontinued and now one is being brought back. No info on if it is the same one or a new design.

Have not seen it lately. We use to have LED bulbs that had a repetitive current spike and in rush current at startup. Manufactures gave us a figure to calculate the wattage we should use when we added up wastage to see if we where maybe overloading a dimmer switch. I remember a few said use 80 watts. 😀

Adding a dual band module. In the pass trough outlet is a good move as the I/OLinc is power line only. Adding the pass through module was recommended by Smarthome and now Insteon company.

Not sure if it has changed but we have seen brand new directly from Insteon modules. Having factory test links in them and a factory reset was need. Many here actually factory reset all our new modules before using them.

The new PLM sounds very interesting.

You are using a Polisy or eisy controller? They support the PS01. The old ISY994i does not due to last firmware released.

Mine was worse. The power LED flashed as it tried to boot and then the supply crashed and the sequence started again.

Did you use the Administrative Consoles replace the PLM function? To replace the old one for the new one. That would replace the old PLM's six digit ID in all your modules and then put your modules known six digit ID in the new PLM. I don't think a deleted module is completely removed from the PLM but one byte of the entry is changed to indicate it was deleted. The PLM is sent a factory reset command from the software at the start of the replacement or rewriting the whole known modules addresses. That should eliminate as marked as deleted.

Try a new power supply. They had a reputation to fail from time to time. I had two om my ISY994i and one on the older ISY99i.
