2470D in 3 way circuit
Your description. Sounds like the old Switchlinc X10 receive only devices. In that case they would send no power line signals to control any other devices. Model number as Stu mentioned would be needed to answer your question.

2450 sensor for detecting when an LED is on?
The 8015 didn't work correctly with the I/OLinc if you connected it to the 1/8" sensor interface jack. As it was incorrectly wired to work with it. It was originally made for an earlier Smarthome device. If you cut off the 1/8" plug and wired the cable to the terminal block. It could work. I also found if used on AC over a few volts. It violated the reverse voltage specification for the Optocoupler in it. That could be why the kit had low ratings. It didn't work correctly.

2450 sensor for detecting when an LED is on?
Yes I also remember both the Low Voltage and Light Sensor Kits. The Light Sensor Kit used the Smarthome 8013 http://www.smarthome.com/light-probelinc-led-and-light-detector-probe.html The Low Voltage Kit used the 8015 http://www.smarthome.com/digital-low-voltage-probelinc-low-voltage-power-detector-probe.html I know the 8015 was made for an older Smarthome Device and never worked correctly as the 1/8" stereo connector was not wired correctly for the jack on the I/OLinc. I reversed engineered the connections and did have an 8015 work OK on an I/OLinc. I would guess the 8013 also had the reversed signals on its 1/8" jack.

ISY 99 cannot link to new PDM
Have you tried a different cable between the PLM and the ISY99i? You may want to open a support ticket with UDI. If you followed the wiki and still get the safe mode. There is a small chance the power surge that took out the PLM. Also damaged the serial port in the ISY99i.

Restoring PLM with multiple battery-powered devices
Do you have the Pro version? If you do. You can turn off automatic writes to Battery Devices. Then do each one individually. If needed some of mine with no updates don't have to be woken up. After you Restore The Modem.

Options on Synchrolinc 2423A5
Old Developers Notes but gives an idea of what the options are. http://cache.insteon.com/developer/2423A5dev-112010-en.pdf I don't remember if the Full Users Manual give any information on the options. When using the ISY controller the manual button information in the manual is not needed. http://cache.insteon.com/documentation/2423A5-en.pdf

ISY stopped talking to all devices - please help
If less than two years old. As pointed out you are with in the two year warranty and it should be covered by Smarthome.

Battery Write Icon - Last known state??
After closing the UI and then going back into the UI. Mine is Greyed out and still disabled, but if you click on it it will be enabled again. It is also greyed out in the File drop down menu. The only time It automatically gets enabled on mine. Is if you reboot the ISY994i or during a firmware update.

ISY stopped talking to all devices - please help
If it is a 2413S and over two years old. It maybe on the way out. As they have a reputation of failures. When mine went bad. Power cycling it started it working again for a few days. So keep an eye on it for odd behavior.

Cree releases smart bulb - cheaper and ZigBee
I doubt it is a clone. The Cree is their new 4Flow design and they always manufacturer their own products. Notice the air vents on the Cree.

How to repair KPLs that "Click, Buzz, turn on/off continuously"
Sounds like the capacitor was poorly filtering the power supply and when you had to start back up. The supply never was able to get enough filtering on a cold start. For a high enough or smooth enough voltage source.

Cree releases smart bulb - cheaper and ZigBee
You may want to look at the CREE web page for the bulbs. The Documentation tab has four files that can be downloaded. http://creebulb.com/products/standard-a-type/connected-60-watt-replacement-soft-white-led-bulb The page indicates they should be available shortly. So there may not be any users feedback yet.

Device states not updating - Bad PLM?
I believe it is for installers and dealers to configure a standalone system. Then remove the ISY controller with PLM.
-
Device states not updating - Bad PLM?
NO do not file. Delete Modem. The PLM's ID will be removed from every device in the system.

Confirm 2441ZTH Compatibility
I don't see the 2441ZTH listed in the drop down list of modules it knows about. You may want to verify it can even be added to an ISY setup.

Insteon Garage Door Linc Troubleshooting
Power supplies in some electronic devices will make power line noise or absorb Insteon power line signals. If you can try a different circuit not tied to the I/OLinc that may help or put the POE's AC power supply on a Filterlinc

Switchlinc not respnding manually
How old is the SwitchLinc? The earlier hardware versions had a tact switch issue. The paddle would activate the switch and it would click but it didn't make electrical contact. Symptoms where similar to what you are seeing. Paddle works intermittently or stops completely working. Though a controller had complete control. Smarthome actually gave the SwitchLincs in the possible problem manufacturing date range. A seven yeay warranty. You may want to try a power cycle reset on them.

Can I link a older 2000stw lamplinc?
You can't add it to your ISY994i setup as Stu pointed out. Actually after a Factory Reset. The 2000STW has a default X10 address of A1. You can program a different one into it. You can send X10 commands from your ISY994i but only in programs. The optional A10/X10 firmware module allows a few more things to be done. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i_Series_INSTEON:Enhanced_A10/X10

Device states not updating - Bad PLM?
17 is a very low count. Did you try a count a few times? Any Insteon traffic during the count can make it incorrect. Do you know about how old the 2413S is? There are many reports of them failing in around two years. Mine died at 2 years and 3 months. Just out of warranty. I rebuilt mine from the information in one of the threads here. I understand they recently updated the hardware and firmware in them to correct problems.

Smarthome.com
They have been doing a complete update to both the Smarthome.com and Insteon.com web sites recently. I had problems from time to time that came and went. Seems much better now. Though I had to get use to some of the new pages and how they access other pages.

isy994 vs the isy99
The ISY99i is discontinued and because of firmware limitations. It will not support any of the latest Insteon Devices due to older firmware. The last firmware for the ISY99i is 3.3.10.

Insteon Input/Output
I can't say about the sales pages. I can verify almost all of the links the developers use. Are now giving an error 404 page not found error. With a message they are getting ready for some big improvements. I just went to the sales site and it seemed to be running OK now. Maybe it is now corrected.
