I took a 35 LED 120 Volt .02 amp Christmas Light set and tested it with a 47K 1/2 watt resistor. With both a revision 1.3 and 4.1 ApplianceLinc. The LEDs did not glow and when On the resistor was not too warm as it was dissipating about .31 watts. Little more than half its rating. Though extreme care would be needed if a resistor was used. Don't need any sparks or lost members here.

I was just curious as I have had both versions apart to dissect them. Its the old electronic technician in me getting curious. I actually had one of the v.12s that smoked. Yes all they did was remove the two series caps across the relay contacts and call it a v1.3. The 4.1s have an RC network across the relay contacts.

Tim; Mostly hardware person question. Have you done both the older and newer hardware designed modules? I know they are very different internally between my v1.3 and 4.1 AppliancLincs.

Yes the Icons are the same . There is no jumper in the ApplianceLinc or Icon On Off module. Like the X10 ones have. Turning the Local Sensing Off option only has the module ignore local control events. The sensing current is still there. You don't have to hang the added load on the tree. Use a multiple connection tap on the AppliancLinc's outlet so you can plug both the added load and the LED lights directly into it. If you can safely do it. A 47K 1/2 watt maybe enough. A 33K 1 watt could also be used.

As mentioned it is normal for very low current LEDs to glow. From the local control sensing circuit. X10 Appliance Modules also will make low current LEDs glow. So Insteon ApplianceLincs are not unique in the finding. Besides wall warts. Some have used a 4 watt incandescent night light. Someone in the Smarthome Forums used an Air Wick Scented Oil Warmer to stop their LEDs from glowing. http://www.smarthome.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9256

If the Green PWR LED is not On but the unit seems to be functioning correctly. I would get a replacement as it sounds like the LED is bad.

They have not given us any data in the Developers Forums yet for the 2487S. So your findings will be dually noted.

There are some details on the add on modules here along with the full users manual. http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... =Main_Page

The 2487S is listed in the module drop down list. 02 1E. I am sure the UDI team can tell you what is supported.

Yes and it supplied power to the ISY99i so the external one for the 2413S is not used. Depending on the age it may also be the small link database unit. That had a 417 link size.

Can the PLM firmware be updated yes but Smarthome/Smartlabs does not offer that service. The PLM does have a programming interface socket in it and I believe Smartlabs has a deal with Simplehomenet to update theirs for the EXIO8SA upgrade offer. v.63. I believe that is one of the 2412S PLMs with the smaller 417 Link Database. Yes AA.AA.AA was the address used in the developers kit models. Though not too active I am brian in the developers forums. I started with the 2414U PLC and the SALadIDE program. Along with SDM3.

I believe I have read here. That some I2 devices don't implement the protocol properly or only support some of the protocol.

I have some first run Icon 2876SB Wall Switches with the Green LEDs. Revision 1.1. Reports a firmware version of .60 in My Lighting. Anyone else see this version? A slightly newer one Revision 1.0 {yes for reasons only Smarthome knows they went back to 1.0} with the Amber LED reports a v.26.

In the Add a New Device area. In the drop down list. [01.07] (2456D2) Icon LampLinc 2 pin. Shouldn't that be (2856D2)?

I was adding some modules to my setup. So that My Lighting would show the devices firmware revision. Then deleting the modules in My Lighting. The PLM count was higher than before. I believe the links marked as deleted where still counted. When I did a restore PLM the count went back to what I expected.

Yes I have both a SynchroLinc and an iMeterSolo. Both are sitting in their boxes unused. UDI fixed the enrollment problem a long time ago. I just didn't get any motivation to try them. I added the SynchroLinc as a test and it shows. Both the Is Controller For and the Is Responder To entries. Along with the options tab to set trip points and dead band before toggling an On or Off as the current changed.

Do you have a firewall or anti virus that recently updated? I know that Avast 6.0.1289 made some problems for me and there are a few threads here on what fixes we found out. Here is one of the threads. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6933

I believe there is a thread here on how to do it also.

There are no higher wattage device in the Pro Line that I can find. The Pro Line products have a different model number but most are the same as the DIY ones. There are a few special devices. Like a small computer like controller and active phase bridge. I believe they do get Pro Line prices but may also have to handle any warranty claims. The higher wattage was thought of because it was not a residential installation and the total wattage supported. Had to include the highest wattage bulbs the fixture could handle times the number of bulbs being controlled. Even if you didn't use the highest wattage bulb it was rated for.

Installed without any problems.

Refresh? What is not happening that needs a refresh? Are you running any Anti virus or Firewall software? If you are. What program and revision. We know that the latest Avast Free causes problems with the ISY99i displaying things and have fixes for it. Zone Alarm also needs a entry in the Trusted Zone for the IP address being used.

Is it the free version or the added features version? I have no problems with the free version 6.0.1289 but if they have updated again. I also may get an unwanted surprise.

There is an older thread over in the mControl Forums on using an ISY26/99i. http://www.embeddedautomation.com/forum ... php?t=1149

I looked at the mControl V3 features file and it lists the following Insteon Interfaces. 2414U,2414S PLCs. 2412U and 2413U USB PLMs. The 2412S and 2413S serial PLMs are not listed. I believe I did see your post over in their forums. I hope they can give you added information on your setup.

The wiki has lots of good information in it. http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... =Main_Page The Full Users Manual is here, if you have not downloaded a copy yet. http://www.universal-devices.com/docs/i ... rguide.pdf
