  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Since I am not using these features. The following erroer messages can be ignored. Thu 2011/09/29 10:10:49 AM System -170001 [sLF] FileOpen Failed: /CONF/IR.CFG Thu 2011/09/29 10:10:50 AM System -170001 [sLF] FileOpen Failed: /CONF/INTEGER.VAR Thu 2011/09/29 10:10:50 AM System -170001 [sLF] FileOpen Failed: /CONF/STATE.VAR Thu 2011/09/29 10:10:50 AM System -170001 [sLF] FileOpen Failed: /CONF/INTEGER.VAR Thu 2011/09/29 10:10:50 AM System -170001 [sLF] FileOpen Failed: /CONF/STATE.VAR Thu 2011/09/29 10:10:51 AM System -170001 [sLF] FileOpen Failed: /CONF/NET/WOL.CFG Thu 2011/09/29 10:10:58 AM System -170001 [sLF] FileOpen Failed: /CONF/ELK.CNF Thu 2011/09/29 10:11:04 AM System -170001 [sLF] FileOpen Failed: /CONF/NET/WOL.CFG Thu 2011/09/29 10:11:07 AM System -170001 [sLF] FileOpen Failed: /CONF/ELK.CNF
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. If Avast recently updated to 6.0.1289. I would also suggest you check the link TJF1960 provided.
  10. 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
  11. I am using 32 bit, Java Version 6 update 26 with no problems. Beta 3.1.9.
  12. 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.
  13. Same with me. No install issues and the logs where still there.
  14. 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
  15. 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?
  16. 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.
  17. 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?
  18. 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
  19. 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.
  20. SignalLinc? Can you expand on the exact module as there are a few devices with that name.
  21. Installed fine this morning.
  22. OK thanks for the update. I can now allow Java to update and tell Avast to hold off. Until data on how to correct it is avilable. Yes please share. Maybe in the Avast Thread as it relates to the problem.
  23. Update 27 must be very recent. On 09/09/2011 my check for Java updates didn't find 27 and said 26 was the latest. So no one else may have tried 27 yet. I have 26 and as you found. Working OK. Gee in another thread someone found the newest Avast Update, released recently, also was causing problems.

    I feel stupid!

    Much information in the wiki. http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... =Main_Page http://www.universal-devices.com/docs/i ... rguide.pdf
  25. Isaac on the Smarthome Forums. Posted what was fixed in V2.2. http://www.smarthome.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=8552
