That is good news. I am glad you now have it working as expected.

Thanks for the information. Glad they worked out well for you. I use LED and CFL bulbs. So they are not an option for me.

If the pump is less than 5 amps. There is a fairly small wire in filter from Leviton that I know some have used. May depend on the room in your electrical box. http://www.smarthome.com/4835/Leviton-6 ... ock/p.aspx

Unblock. Yes I have had to do that myself.

I am confused though that is not too unusual. The Energy Display Developers Notes. Say it checks the temperature every three minutes and send a message if the temperature has changed 1 or more degrees C {I believe it can also be set to F}. I believe it is a group 4 message. To a linked PLM. Though the sales page says maximum of three Controller Groups and I would think they would be the three groups for iMeterSolo's. Could be the specifications changed and the Developers Notes didn't get updated. No surprises there.

You didn't mention if you had found the information on SD cards in the wiki. If not here is the link. http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... an_SD_Card

One of the I2CS additions was No X10 support for many models. I would not count on any Insteon Modules from now on being shipped without I2CS. Reported or not. Though someone posting a Event Viewer log while adding them would be a big hint.

Very possible a replacement 2476S or 2476D made after March 2012 would also be I2CS. Most of them are now being sold with I2CS in them. May not effect too many but X10 support is also gone in some of them. My friends in the X10 forums are not happy with that move. As X10 has some financial troubles and many of their modules are gone.

The ones making problems. Used the power lines to communicate back to the power company. If memory serves me it was like a 40 volt signal on the power lines. Other X10 users with Smart Meters using RF communications have not reported any problems yet.

Did your power company recently put a Smart Meter on your home? One particular model seems to be reported in the X10 forums as randomly turning X10 devices On and Off. I am running a few X10 devices in my setup myself. Like Chime Modules and the sixteen button HR12A Palm Pad Remotes. My Insteon modules also have a Primary X10 Address added to them.

T1700 also has no optional connector for the Humidity Sensor and was a problem {maybe corrected now} with a floating Humidity Signal sending trash readings.

Thanks for the updated information. It does sound like the first one had issues.

Will be waiting for your report on your BulbLinc. Calling it a LampLinc technically may not get you all the features it has but is a nice work around until it can be added to an ISY Beta release.

Actually the FilterLinc originated as an X10 filter. The sales pages say it is tuned to 120KHz which is the X10 power line signal frequency. I don't think Smarthome has changed the components to move it closer to the 131.65KHz Insteon uses. The ACT AF120 is a 15 amp X10 type filter. I have not seen anything on its not also working with Insteon.

No opto coupler at all. It actually goes through series resistors, pull up resistors and an LED with current limiting resistor to +5 Volts from the Sensor Input to a pin on the controller IC.

The ISY99i has to be rebooted after you change PLM as that is when it finds the new PLMs six digit ID and uses it for restoration to all your devices.

I never checked the minimum pulse width needed for an I/OLinc but know that the Sensor LED can glow and the Sensor Input is not tripped. Seems the LED is part of the input electronics and I found the Sensor Input needed to be pulled below 1.0 volts for mine to trip. The Sensor LED can glow and the input not be pulled below 1.0 volts.

If you don't have things like the ELK add on firmware module to name one. You will see those errors. I see the ones for the modules I don't have myself. I believe they are files not created or are blank if you don't have the optional firmware module.

I doubt it was a return. Smarthome usually puts tested returns in the "Open Box" Clearance area. I can see them connecting it up to test it or to write a new firmware version in it.

I don't see any received messages back from the device. Do you have any Dual Band Devices and verified with the communications tests on each phase of the home? Your PLM is not on an UPS, Filtered Surge Strip or the same outlet as the computer? You may want to verify you have the correct Insteon six digit ID number. Any other devices in the home that seem to be intermittent or need a few retries to be controlled?

I have also had a few LED bulbs that illuminate the ceiling when in a table lamp. I would also like them to tell us what the color temperature of the LED is.

OK. Will be waiting for your feedback. Support may have to be added for the ISY to process it correctly.

Most UPS and Filtered Surge Suppressors are not tuned to allow them to not absorb Insteon Signals as noise. I claim no knowledge this is 100% correct but a FilterLinc Schematic. http://home.comcast.net/~gafield/family ... Filter.pdf

Most homes have a split phase power. With 240 volts between the two Line Wires and 120 volts between either Line and Neutral. Insteon signals can have problems getting to the other phase. So that is why two Dual Band Devices or a hard wires coupler in the breaker box is recommended. So the signals can get to the other half of the homes wiring. Noise makers and signal suckers. Many modern electronic devices generate noise on the power lines or have built in noise suppression for their internal electronics. Those suppressors absorb Insteon signals as to them it is noise. A FilterLinc that is tuned to prevent the noise getting to the power lines or the device absorbing the Insteon power line signals. Some generic filters would also kill Insteon signals.

Before I changed the fixture in my kitchen. I could have used one in the old fixture. The SocketLinc Dimmer I was using didn't work out very well for me.
