If it is used. I would do a factory reset on it first. For a clean start. Also depending on the age. Verify the paddle buttons work. Some had tact switch problems and the paddle would not always work. They would click but not activate the electronics.

I believe you are right. Older LampLincs where responders only. I had found a few strange things when an X10 Address was added to Insteon Modules. The Obscure Bug I found with a Secondary X10 Address was the most troubling. viewtopic.php?f=30&t=2752

LeeG, There is a quirk in my older V2.0 LampLincs and V1.3 ApplinaceLincs. Firmware v.28. Along with my V4.1 ApplianceLincs Firmware v.32. If you add an X10 Primary Address to them with Local Control Enabled. When you use the lamps local switch to trigger them On. It sends an X10 On to the Address it was set to.

#1. Tapping the set button on Icon dimmer modules. Sets the local On level. That would be the brief flash letting you know the new level was accepted. http://wiki.smarthome.com/index.php?tit ... e_On-Level You should not use the set button to try and toggle them On and Off. They also don't report back to the ISY console if you do manage to turn them On or Off. Appliance types like the Icon On/Off may locally toggle On and Off with the set button, but again will not send an update to the ISY. If you don't have the Full Users Manuals for your modules. There is a link on each models sales page for them or the Smarthome wiki has a set of links also. http://wiki.smarthome.com/index.php?tit ... 7s_Manuals

The ISY99i is not too fussy to what DC voltage you use. 5 to 30 Volts DC; 500 ma minimum is what the wiki says. So you could buy a supply locally. Making sure the tip is + and it fits the ISY99i. http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... pply_Power viewtopic.php?t=3593

I have seen posts where UDI had an adapter for the older units to fit the power supply barrel connector. I am sure they will chime in with the older barrel connectors size or what adapter they can provide.

The EZIO6I has six inputs. Four Optoisolated and two digital or analog. The four Optoisoleted Inputs I1,I2,I3 and I4. You can connect I1+, I2+, I3+ and I4+ to the +12 volt terminal of the unit. Then connect a switch to I1- or I2- or I3- or I4- and using the common ground terminal for all four inputs. I5 and I6 the Digital ones are a different setup and can't be used over +5 volts. For those you are going to need a 5 volt source or make a small regulator circuit to generate the 5 volts from the modules 12 volts. Then add a pull up resistor from the +5 volts to I5 and one to I6. Connecting a switch to I5 and I6 and ground. I would use a 1000 Ohm to 10,000 Ohm 1/4 watt resistor for each pull up. The switch on I5 or I6 grounds the terminal through the pull up resistor to safely limit the current and change the level on the terminal from +5 volts to close to 0 volts.

You running any Firewalls or Antivirus programs? I know Avast caused me all kinds of problems.

Gee my older model with a green LED is just right in my computer room. Next to the router. I wish I could say the same about my early SwitchLincs with those bright LEDs. Even the dark blue or frosted white light pipes only assist to a point.

Check the Help Tab About Choice to read your firmware version. I am thinking 2.8.16 as it was the last official release.

You found it. 2.8.16

A power tap on the output side of the module. So you can add a small night light works well for many users. If you don't like a small glowing night light when it is On. You could use a AC plug with the resistor carefully insulated in place of the night light. X10 modules where worse than Insteon ones and a 47,000 Ohm 1/2 watt made almost all LEDs stop glowing.

I am running 1280x1024 full width. Can't go any bigger and 3.1.15 didn't have that problem.

After the first program ran. The next Scheduled Run Time now shows a PM. The Last Run Time and Last Finished Time may change to PM tomorrow. They show a .. right now.

In the Programs Tab Next Scheduled Run Time. All the ones using PM times. Show a .. or blank where the PM suffix usually is showing. The ones in the AM do have the AM suffix. My first program just ran for some devices to go On before Dusk. The Last Run Time and Last Finished Time also have a .. suffix and not the PM.

Installed with no problems.

The RemoteLinc and RemoteLinc2 remotes. Have a power saving state they go into to conserve batteries. You can only talk to them when awake in the Linking Mode. If you where able to link to the RemoteLincs and not go into the linking mode. They may not be going back to power saving. If you batteries die fairly quickly. They where not power saving.

You did put it into the Linking Mode before trying to add it?

I have gotten the same warning message from Java and just said NO to blocking it.

It should be showing up in the list under Link Management. Using the Help Tab About choice. See what Firmware and UI it reports. Both should say 3.1.15. Did you follow the information and clear the Java Cache? Which method are you using to access the Administrative Console? If you are using the java applet it has to be the one linked to in the top of the beta announcement for 3.1.15.

The 2413S is a completely new design from the 2412S. Including a new more efficient power supply over the old Linear Power Transformer one in the 2412S. May not be totally isolated from the power lines like the old 2412S was or maybe as LeeG thought limited extra power for external use. It does have a faster memory for its link database also. There was no upgrade option when it was released.

Yes the 2413S PLM is Dual Band. One point if you are going from a 2412S that supplies power to the ISY99i to the 2413S that does not provide power to the ISY99i. You have to add an external power supply. To the DC input jack on the ISY99i.

Like computer power supplies. The power supplies for the router and switch could also be making power line noise or absorbing the power line signals.

I have two RemoteLincs and both have identical scenes on them.

I have my PLM also plugged into a 10 Amp FilterLinc. The FilterLinc doesn't generate any heat so the combination doesn't get much hotter than if it was not in the FilterLinc. Is the PLM a 2412S or 2413S? The older 2412S units had a linear power supply in them with a power transformer that generated heat and felt like it was warmer than my newer 2413S PLM. Now plugging a PLM into a LampLinc may get both hotter than normal. As both generate heat. I have two old v1.3 ApplianceLincs plugged in to each other and they get very warm. Only ones since I started to use Insteon that have failed at one time or another.
