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.

I saw a troubleshooting tutorial for X10. I cheap phone charger. Outputted a signal on the power lines. At the exact frequency of 120Khz the X10 signals frequency.

Just be careful to possible get the serial signals correct. If the spare PLM is a serial port 2413S. The serial signals on the RJ45 style serial connector. Use just three signals. Send,receive and common. The others are TTL and should not be connected to anything. If you still have the PLM box. In the box should be a cable that has the RJ45 to DB9 serial connector for proper connections.

The 2476S single band switches where smaller than the dual band 2477S. As the 2477S had a larger size but also had a higher maximum current they could handle. Along with a heavier line and load wire. Never saw or used an I3 module so I can not say its size.

Just looked with your link. They wherein a clearance sale. Now showing Out Of Stock again.

Checked the device list in my ISY994i There are three devices listed for Broan. Two are fans. I suspect the switch you have was part of a exhaust fan kit with a control. 05.00 SMC080 exhaust fan and 05.02 SMC110 exhaust fan. 05.05 was a deluxe range hood.

I also searched and found it maybe a Broan exhaust fan controller. That was used in early Insteon history. I did not find the exact number you posted it the developers shipping products list but close numbers used in the Broan. I know their products where used at one time and you may find them in the modules list in the ISY device list. With the device Category of 05 and a few Subcategories. Found this in a web search from Insteon.com. Pointed out by them. Page #4 shows how it can be used with Insteon. broan-ssqtxe110-specsheet-390.pdf

I have only seen that with the original motion sensor. The SkyLink brand name is what they used in their [probably outdated ones now] SkyLink's security systems. Maybe sold by Smarthome though I don't remember if they did. My thoughts are it was modified to work in Insteon systems.

There are two motion sensors I have seen from Insteon. The original 2420M made by SkyLink to the Insteon specification. It used the 9VDC battery. The new one. 2844-222 has a 3VDC CR123A battery or could also be powered by a 5VDC Micro USB wall wart.

The PLM connected to the EZIO8SA is not connected to the ISY994i. It is programed by the EZIO8SA and is used to send and receive Insteon communications. From your ISY994i. So it would not be directly part of the change from the ISY994i to the eiay. When the eisy has the information from the ISY994i. It should be able to then access the EZIO8SA through it own PLM.

Restore or the replace PLM? If you did not use the replace function. All the old PLM links are in the modules and the new PLM will not see the messages sent to the old PLM. Paulbates tests will give you much needed information. If the information shows many links look at the back of the old PLM for its ID and see if the old PLM ID is in the displayed information.

You have two PLM's. One on the ISY994i and the other one is used on the EZIO8SA. The one on the EZIO8SA is probably a 2412S PLM or their equivalent. It would be power line only communications.

I3 is too different than the other keypads. If replace with does not work. Then what Guy has pointed out will have to be done.

Not as easy as Start Linking but if it does not work. Manually link it to a module. Then do a link list of that module then a compare. The link address not known by the ISY Administrative Console. Is the remotes six digit Insteon ID.

The modules have a Category and Subcategory ID assigned to each model Insteon module. Some may have more than one Subcategory. For revisions. Like software versions and features. Like original I1,I2 or I2CS. My thoughts are they check the ID of the module you are trying to install and found it was an ApplianceLinc not a LampLinc.

I have not seen one but it maybe possible. I know by trying. Replacement of a 2456S3 Appliancelinc with a 2635-222 Dual Band On/Off module did not work. On my ISY994i. My thoughts are since the new module is Dual Band. Has extra features that just exchange it would not work correctly. The 2456S3 is a responder only while the 2635-222 can also be a controller. While an Icon 2856S3 or the X10AM466 ( was made during the X10 bankruptcy by the old Smarthome and was really a 2856S3 labelled )can be used in place of a 2456S3.

I had similar feeling on my ISY26 and then my ISY99i. I definitely agree UDI has exceptional support. I still have some X10 in my setup. My Insteon modules are old enough to also have an optional X10 primary address in them. So my HR12A palm pad can still control them.

Not too sure if this will be what you need. https://developer.isy.io/blog/NVMe/

I have used the loX Finder (start.jnlp) on my ISY994i with the last firmware for it. On a Windows 10 setup. And it works fine. With the Java it has installed.

The 2456S3 has local control sensing and the later Rev 4.0 have a snubber network across the relay. Both will cause flashing or dim glow when off. Putting a small incandescent load or old wall wart. On the string with a outlet tap. May times will correct the issue. The disabling the load sensing does not turn off the sensor voltage. Just the 2456S3 ignores the load changing. So the small current is always there. Even when disabled. The 118 volts is through a high resistance and most meters with a high impedance will see the voltage but the low resistance of the bulb will load it down and the meter will be close to 0 or 0 on the meter. Do they click with no load? Not too often seen but maybe the load is sucking up the power line signals.
