New Install Problem
I use ZonaAlarm and until I added my ISY99i's address to the Trusted Zone. It would not work correctly. See if your Firewall has a place to add the ISY99i to an allowed address. What Firewall are you using? We may know exactly what to do to make it work.

Overhead current? I'm sooooooo confused....
Mine is also a spinning dial type. With the analog pointers. Though it has a RF board in it so the meter can be read electronically as the power company truck Parks in my driveway.

Release 2.8.4 Beta is now available
Try the X10 Transceiver you are using with the Palm Pad in the same outlet as the PLM is in. If you are not using the exact circuit as the PLM is in. Your tests may not be 100% accurate. Are you sure nothing has changed? Like someone moved a cell phone charger etc.

Release 2.8.4 Beta is now available
It doesn't do X10 at all or are there some X10 functions that don't work? I send an X10 A4 On every morning to a chime module and my X10 power line messages show up in the log also. Using 2.8.4

2484 Backlight Brightness
Not sure if the TimerLinc can have its brightness set remotely. The on line manual only points out how to do it with the buttons. http://wiki.smarthome.com/index.php?title=2484D_Manual

Error - Request Failed / on save program
You may also want to look at the connector on the PLM and make sure the pins are not bent up too high.

How do you enable automatic firmware updates?
I would also like to say. On the rare chance a beta release had a problem. It is very rapidly addressed.
-
How do you enable automatic firmware updates?
The Beta ones have to be done manually. You download the file and use the Manual Update Tab. When an official version is released. You will get a message it is available. Been awhile so it just may happen and I don't remember.

new dimmer only works when other swtichs are off
An in line filter would probably work. If it is not a generic type but one for X10 or Insteon. I have not seen any one specific to Insteon. If the total load is five or less amps. The Leviton has been used by many here and in the X10 forums. An on line search may find dealers with varied prices for the Leviton. http://www.smarthome.com/4835/Leviton-6 ... ock/p.aspx Since the setup was working for awhile. Maybe new CFLs will correct the problem. We did see a message here on CFLs getting noisier with age.

In some installations. A black wire may not be a line wire and checking the 120 volts would verify it was correct. CFLs can make power line noise. Do you have any filters on the TV and Cable box or CFLs? It is possible the noise level or signal absorption from all that electronics. Makes communications marginal to the new SwitchLinc. To the point the CFLs being On takes it over the threshold of missed communications.

Motion Sensor ver 2
Jumper 5 installed allows you to do remote programming with software. The updated users manual has details in it.

Release 2.8.3 Beta is Now Available
For some reason today. It again asked me to accept the end users agreement. It never asked when I updated from 2.8.2 and it was running with no questions from day one of the update.
-
Release 2.8.2 Beta is now available
Unless something has been updated in the RemoteLincs firmware. The All On/Off buttons can not be linked to any additional devices and only control devices linked to the six individual button sets. Both the on line Users Manual and the Quick Start Guide. Have no mention of the All buttons linked to added Insteon devices. The feature chart also only covers how they act with devices linked to the six individual buttons. That said. The sales page does indeed say the All Buttons can control extra devices linked directly to them. 10/11/2010: I took a factory reset RemoteLinc and a LampLinc. So no buttons where linked to anything. Held the ALL ON button for ten seconds and it went into the linking mode. Linked it to the LampLinc. The ALL ON and ALL OFF buttons then controlled the LampLinc. This is an older Date Code 2707 Rev 1.0 RemoteLinc.

Device Name In Router Table?
I have a D-Link DI-604. FW 2.8.2 My router table says ISY99-HOME-AUTO. If I power cycled the router it then said unknown. If I did a power cycle of the ISY99i, Router, Computer and DSL Interface. It again said ISY99-HOME-AUTO.

Appliance Linc as Controller/
I also have never seen an ApplianceLinc act as a controller. Must be real new as none of mine will do it.

Bad KPL or ISY Programming Problems?
From the Smarthome forums. The later KPLs have a improper load detection circuit and a continuous beep is what happens. If it senses an improper load. http://www.smarthome.com/forum/topic.as ... hichpage=1 See the message from mprimous in the above thread.

ISY-99i PRO - To IR or not to IR
On the UDI sales page you can purchase the IR Hardware Module. That you install in the unit itself. Then in the Purchase Optional Modules function ISY. You can then purchase the IR support module for the program itself.

New 2413S PLM vs. 2412S PLM
Thanks for the update. Sounds like it may have been the old PLM.

Any suggestions on how to control A/C window units?
It could be a noise spike confusing the controller chip in the OutletLinc. I have what I call my module confuser load. An old style inductive ballast fluorescent under counter light. I can kill an older revision ApplianceLinc with it. Totally confuse it until it just goes deaf and refuses to work. Sometimes the LED goes full bright or off completely. Only way to correct it is a power removal for a total power up reset. Newer revisions can also on rare occasions be confused by the same test light.

ISY-99 hears some KPLs, not others, talks to all
When you replaced the PLM did you use the Restore Modem (PLM) choice in the files menu. To up data the new PLMs address in devices?
-
Any suggestions on how to control A/C window units?
After it shuts down. It is unresponsive to any commands until the power is cycled to the OutletLinc?
