Page 11 of the Full Users Manual. How to set the relay to momentary closure. Can also be done through the ISY interface. http://www.smarthome.com/manuals/2450.pdf Smarthome also has a garage door kit that uses the I/OLinc. There is a link on the sales page to how it is hooked up. That may give you some ideas. http://www.smarthome.com/74551/I-O-Linc ... Kit/p.aspx http://www.smarthome.com/manuals/74551qs.pdf

I have the IR option in mine, but at present am not utilizing it. I have a JV Engineering XTB-IIR that hits the power lines with over 10 volts of X10 signals. It also was designed to ignore Insteon power line signals.

One point that may effect your X10 and Insteon installation. Insteon devices are two way as they can also send power line signals. The transmitter in them can absorb power line signals. Insteon modules do resend their messages but not X10 ones. Some have found as they add Insteon devices. The Insteon network gets more reliable while the remaining X10 devices get less reliable. I have a mixed system but have a very strong X10 coupler repeater. So when I added the Insteon my X10 signals are still strong enough.

I assist in the X10 forums. With all the modern electronic devices, making power line noise and absorbing power line signals. Getting a system 100% is not easy. I still use X10 for tests and some modules still not in Insteon. Like a chime module and sixteen button palm pad remote. All my Insteon modules also have an X10 address in them. For use with the palm pad. I have a JV Engineering XTB-IIR Repeater Coupler that hits the power lines with over a ten volt X10 signal. My lowest signal is 1.25 volts. As measured by their XTBM X10 signal meter. It also is smart enough to recognize an Insteon signal and not garbage it. By trying to duplicate it as an X10 signal.

If you coupler is a XPCP coupler. It also has a set of twin tuned transformers. Not sure how narrow it coupling range is.

You most likely have power line communications issues. First if you have the PLM on the same circuit as the computer or an UPS. Filter the computer or UPS but not the PLM. If the PLM is on a surge strip. Try it in an outlet alone. Try disconnecting electronic devices as some can absorb power line signals or make line noise. I would also verify you don't have any loads on dimmers that are not rated for dimming. Like CFLs or low voltage lighting not rated for dimming. If you have any active X10 Repeater/Couplers left over from your X10 days. Try disconnecting them. Some garbage Insteon power line signals. Passive couplers most time do not effect Insteon signals. Insteon is way more reliable than X10 but nothing is 100% out of the box. I am extremely happy with my ISY99i that was an upgrade from the older ISY26 that I started out with.

Can you elaborate on the problems you are having? Some noise and signal absorbers can effect Insteon to some degree as they can with X10 power line signals.

Since I am not using these features. The following erroer messages can be ignored.

Are the Motion Sensors V1 or V2 hardware. I believe only the V2 sensors can be remotely configured. Jumper 5 enables remote configuration. Manuals for both V1 and V2 are here if you can't find yours. http://wiki.smarthome.com/index.php?tit ... art_Guides

Smarthome accidentally had the earlier Insteon PLM Developers Guide avilable for download. It is still avilable on a few sites. http://www.aartech.ca/docs/2412sdevguide.pdf Membership in Developers Group. Isn't what it is cracked up to be. Though occasionally you do get a few tidbits. Serious consultation requires a fee be paid to Smartlabs.

I have had this happen a few times, but not consistently. Open Administrative Console using the jnp link I downloaded for 3.1.9 No Module Status shows in My Lighting for the modules. Open Event Viewer and set to communications messages. Do a query of My Lighting. Ready Icon on bottom left stays Ready. Nothing shows in the Event Viewer. No Query progress box shows on the screen. Though I think it is doing a query as the LEDs on some of the modules are flashing. Indicating messages are on the power line. Closing Administration Console and restarting. Then everything is OK.

They look nice. I have used the 773 series a few times. They have a push in style clamp and not the nice flip release.

http://www.insteon.net/pdf/insteondetails.pdf I will look and see if I can find any others that are not in the developers restricted area.

If Avast recently updated to 6.0.1289. I would also suggest you check the link TJF1960 provided.

From the main sales page: PLM, Power Supply needed for use with the 2413S, shipping and optional taxes. Not included http://www.homeorchestrator.com/UDStore ... ctPurchase

I am using 32 bit, Java Version 6 update 26 with no problems. Beta 3.1.9.

You can't do that through the ISY Console. There is no Insteon command to reset a module to factory settings remotely. You have to go to each device and manually do it. Following the modules factory reset procedure. The only device I have seen a software reset command for is the PLM itself.

Same with me. No install issues and the logs where still there.

Tried again for a log. SSL request not authenticated. Another time Subscriber didn't reply to event:1 [34] One time with the Request Failed Box on the screen. I picked text and then canceled the save. The whole GUI locked up and I had to use Task Manager to exit. I did some queries and X10 signals being sent to my chime module. Then did a text log file to my desktop. It is empty. All it shows is this: INSTEON/A10/X10 Device Control Value Time User Log Type

When I do a Log Request. I get a Request Failed box and then get the log file. I was using the text type, not Excel. That I can't use due to very old Excel version. Error Log had the same Request Failed Box the first time I tried. Now I get nothing. Not even a Request Failed Box. Maybe the logs are empty from the update?

I have a 10 amp FilterLinc on my UPS and the 2413S PLM in the unfiltered pass through outlet on the front of the FilterLinc.

I agree with LeeG. You are fighting a noise or signal absorber on the power lines. You didn't have the PLM connected to the same circuit as the computer or in a filtered surge strip?

Thanks for their fix. I did the following. It seemed to fix my problems. Though in my case the Authentication request didn't keep popping up. Status updates and real time things like Queries and link database reads where not there. viewtopic.php?f=3&p=52927

OK. So the problem was having a passive coupler and an Active A10 repeater on the same circuit. Could be the repeater saw its own commands on the other phase and stopped on a collision.

SignalLinc? Can you expand on the exact module as there are a few devices with that name.
