Are you saying this new module does NOT require a neutral power connection? Every AC powered Insteon module I have seen. Requires a Neutral Power feed for its internal electronics.

One thing to think about. If you have any later revision ApplianceLincs or Icon On/Off modules. They revert to Off after a power failure even if they where On at the time the power failed. Unlike most Insteon and Icon devices that revet to the state they where in at the time the power failed.

There where some email issues addressed in the new beta 3.2.0 released yesterday. You may want to read the post on what was fixed. viewtopic.php?f=25&t=8309

Tested a few I2CS Modules from the Developers Kit and they seemed to add correctly. Some models are probably not shipping yet. 2450 2486DWH6 2475D 2421 2477D

3.1.17 is the latest released firmware for the ISY99i. viewtopic.php?f=25&t=7966 The beta 3.2.0 was just released also. Until some early issues are fixed. 3.1.17 looks good unless you have a FanLinc or one of the very new I2CS Insteon protocol devices.

All of my programs also went away except two with one X10 command only in it. I also went back to 3.1.17 and all is better now. ISY99i Pro 4GB SD Card replacing original 128K one. A10/X10 Module Network Module Weather Information Module. Internet access disabled. When I reinstalled Firmware 3.1.17. I also did not have to restore the programs from a backup. They just showed up.

3.2.0 soon to be released. Address some email issues. I am not sure if it effects yours but you may want to look at the information post on it. viewtopic.php?f=25&t=8309

I have spares. Mostly from updating to a later PLM. The older firmware ones could get me by until a new replacement could be obtained.

No you don't have to request betas anymore. There will be an announcement post with links and instructions. I have a few I2CS modules from the developers group offer and will give it a try when avilable.

I am using my ISY26's power supply for my ISY99i. The unit is not too fussy on input voltage. viewtopic.php?t=3593 Maybe more steps now but the wiki has this. http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... ur_ISY-99i

Are you running any Firewall or Antivirus programs? If you are. What software is it?

What does PLM Info/Status show in the tools diagnostics tests?

Thanks LeeG for the findings. Like when I2 was released and implemented all or part of the protocol. Not all I2CS features are in all model I2CS devices. A different model may not even add to My Lighting.

Since each manufacturer usually uses a different RF frequency and data encoding. I would doubt anything but e Dakota 3000 series device will work with it. I know the Simplehomenet sensors tab seems to say many RF devices but the exact page for the unit specifies Dakota 3000.

I believe it is any Dakota Series 3000 Transmitters for the EZSnsRF. Included in their line of series 3000 devices.

I also was under the impression there was going to be an announcement. Here is what my Beta I2CS 2420M gives when I click on Options. FD NAK is the big clue. At least I could add it to My Lighting as you know other models you can't even add. PLM:19.70.1A Motion Sensor: 14.96.56 I2CS Firmware Clicking Set Options Tab in Administration Console.

The developers Group was told. Before I2CS was in shipping products. An announcement would be made. That said. A NAK of FD looks like a I2CS reply.

The sales page says HouseLinc and the SmartLinc Controller have support for the IP camera. http://www.smarthome.com/75790/Smarthom ... ack/p.aspx

You may want to look at your AC power wall wart transformer. If it has only two connections for low voltage AC into the panel. You would need the 1361X10 interface power transformer that supplies power to the console and has three connections for signals that send the X10 power line commands. This web site has links to the Vista-20P Users, Installation and Programming Manuals. http://www.aesecurity.com/manuals.html

Yes just disconnect the transformer from the Black/White wire and connect the 1N4002 band end to the Black/white wire and the other side of the diode where the wire was originally connected.

Glad it worked for you. You may want to connect a diode in series with the Black/White Input wire. Band end to the Black/White wire. If your input is AC. I don't like putting too much reverse voltage on the OptoCouplers input. A 1N4002 or 1N4003 would be a high enough reverse blocking voltage.

That is how my little tester was assembled. Nothing more than a 1/8" stereo jack mounted on a small scrap enclosure. With three wires soldered to it. Then I used the three wires screwed in to the I/OLincs terminal block. Radio Shack even makes an 1/8" In Line Stereo Female Jack. 274-274 set of two. On mine copper tab is Tip and Silver tab is Ring. You could solder wires to one. Then make sure the tip connected to Sensor and the ring to +5. If you decide to just cut the plug off. The Red in the cable is sensor and the White was the +5V. If possible I would make an adapter and not cut the plug Off. That way you could still return it if needed. As I was also not impressed with the way the Input Voltage was handled.

I decides to make the 8015 mine and cut the shrink tubing off of one end of the assembly. Then slid it out of the heavy cardboard tube. The colors of the wire terminals marking on the PCB did match the cable itself. I did a rough sketch and found something strange. A surface mounted transistor from +5 to Ground. When the 8015 is turned on the +5 volt supply current to the probe was like 35 mA. After studying the diagram I made. It looked like the Sensor and +5 volt connections are reversed. On my patch breadboard I reversed the +5 and Sensor connections and the 8015 worked 100%. With both AC and DC the Sensor LED stayed on Bright and the I/OLInc sent an On when activated and an Off when deactivated. There is a slight delay for a capacitor to diacharge before the Off is sent. Since the colors of the wires match the silk screening on the small PCB. I can only think either the cable is incorrect or the original equipment the 8015 was designed for. Sensor on the TIP and +5 volts on the ring. I would highly recommend anyone with an 8015 and an I/OLinc to NOT use it as it places a short across + 5 Volts To ground when activated.

I bought a set when X10 was having one of their sales but have not used them yet. I didn't buy the optional IR emitter on an extension cable you could connect to the receiver so it didn't have to be in line with device you wanted to control. I don't know if the Radio Shack Kit may have included the IR Emitter on the extension cable.

I may just send it back using their online order options. Or my curious side may cut the shrink tube off of the insulated case and look at the guts.
