Sounds like they did not use the FCC Database has in it from many years ago.

If it happens again. PLM modules have a reputation to fail. If one of the older revisions. You may want to check the revision level on the rear side of the PLM. For reference. Power cycling the PLM was one of the symptoms we have seen.

Glad you found it. I too have had the 47mfd/35V capacitor go south. Since it was side ways. It sounds like a revision 4 module. I had the 30Volt zener diode short out on the board. The cap is mounted over. Kill the module. I also have had the older revision 1 modules have the same cap get flaky In that case they started to flash the load on and off at I believe a 60 cycle rate. I changed all my in use ApplianceLinc modules capacitors.

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

Doesn't bother me. I just wanted to point it out. I am 100% happy with my ISY994i as it does everything I need.

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.

Other manufacturers also make similar devices to the Wago and should work fine.

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.

Thank you for the update.

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.
