Yes do it through the ISY99i. It knows the RemoteLincs needs and will pause and ask you to put it in the linking mode. Holding both the Bright and Dim buttons till the LED starts flashing.

http://wiki.smarthome.com/index.php?title=2440_Manual http://wiki.smarthome.com/index.php?tit ... nc_Buttons The All On and All Off buttons turn on and off every device linked to any of the individual buttons and don't get programed at all. The online manual gives lots of details the quick quide doesn't.

The documentation is wrong for the later 2412S PLM Modules. The Link database is 2016. Been that way for awhile but I don't remember the exact hardware rev where it changed. Yes the 2413S Dual Band is 1023 but it also does not supply power through the interface cable and an external supply is needed on the ISY99i when a 2413S is used. http://www.smarthome.com/2412S/PowerLin ... ial/p.aspx Chart near bottom 2016 is the amount.

OK. Will wait to see what the results are.

Are you using any X10 devices? If not there should be no X10 addresses programed into the modules. We have seen new modules sometimes being shipped with Insteon and X10 factory test addresses in them that where not factory reset before shipping.

PC Power Supplies are notorious signal suckers. Is there an X10 filter on the PCs AC? I have a 10 Amp FilterLinc on my APC BX1000 UPS with my PLM in the unfiltered pass through outlet. I also now have a JV Engineering XTBM that is a great X10 signal tester as the ESM1 and Smarthome TesterLinc are now discontinued. If you have a repeater it even senses it and sends a test X10 signal and reads back the returned levels. One thing it also found. Insteon devices are two way and their transmitter circuit can absorb X10 and Insteon signals. Insteon gets resent. X10 does not. In one test I had 7.71 volts on an outlet with all five of my Insteon ApplianceLincs out of the circuit. With all five in their normal positions the voltage was 2.85 volts. So as many have found. As you add Insteon devices. Insteon gets better and X10 gets worse. I had an ACT CR134 but now have a JV Engineering XTB-IIR. It blasts up to a 20 volt PP X10 signal back on the power lines.

OH my error. I thought somewhere in the thread the PLM was replaced.

When you replace the PLM you should pick Restore Modem (PLM) from the files menu. That changes all the links with the old PLMs ID in them to the replacement PLMs ID.

I just read a post in the Smarthome Forums. Someone with a T1800 and no optional humidity sensor is also getting random humidity reports with the V2 Thermostat Adapter.

The way I read the users installation sheet. It does sound like it is reversed. Try using the Black and Red wires. That will give you the Sensor Off at closed and On at open. I don't know if the wiring is called out wrong or the description of LED state is written wrong. I know I have seen errors in the proximity switch kit also. In that kit if you wire it by the manual it is stuck on. I pointed out the errors on their forums, but I believe the manual for it never got corrected. Since the Black on the switch is the common. I would use it on the I/OLincs Ground connector and the Red or Green [depends on NC or NO desires] to the sense terminal. Though black on sense is OK, it is just my electronic technician background showing through.

If the log doesn't show lots of Insteon Traffic and the LEDs are flashing. You may have power line noise. Noise can cause the LEDs to flash on and off. I had a TV that started making power line noise and my LEDs where flickering randomly.

The 2412S PLM is no longer showing on the sales pages of Smarthomes web site. If you use the search function for 2412S. You are routed to the Discontinued Products Page and the recommended replacement is the 2413S Dual Mesh PLM. If you go to one of the other PLM models sales pages. There is still a working link to the 2412S PLM and it still shows "In Stock". Who knows how long that will last. I ordered an extra 2412S to be safe. While still in stock. Looks like the 2413S maybe closer than we think for the ISY99i. Hope someone remembers it will then need a external power supply as the 2413S does not supply power and has a smaller link database. For now. The Smarthome ISY99i kits with PLM. Are still showing the 2412S as part of the kits.

I have also seen dimming type modules. Do strange things with inductive loads. ApplianceLinc sounds better to me.

I am running 2.7.6 and from time to time I experience a power dip or loss. Mine seems to restart fine and it queries the modules on start. What revision firmware in the PLM? Mine is 7A. Thread where a battery backup was used the keep the ISY99i going. http://forum.universal-devices.com/view ... ght=xp2000

Also Access Points don't link to each other. The LED tests are for communication and phase placement tests.

Link to the information. Yes it is in the Java Applet in the Control Panel. http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... Java_Cache

Which model Venstar did you get in the kit?

Do you know what revision software you are using with your ISY? In the Help Tab About sections. Will give the firmware version. This may help if this was corrected in one of the Beta versions, many of us use.

Most of the dimmable CFL bulbs I have tried are not linear. Many like to be started at 100% and then dimmed down. Some pulse when near their lowest setting before just going out. I have played with CCFL {Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp} bulbs. They seem to dim better. Are even more expensive than Dimmable CFL and only in lower wattages. I have taken CFL and Dimmable CFL bulbs apart. There is more electronics in a dimmable one. Not that the added parts cost that much extra.

Interesting. I was wondering how that thing worked.

I believe the EZFlora doesn't have a dry contact output. I believe it uses a triac to switch the 24 volts AC from the transformer input to the individual outputs. Chart on the Smarthome sales page says 24 volts AC at 400 ma per output. Some of the other Simplehomenet modules have dry contact outputs, but do some searching here. Their support from ISY depends on the firmware in the modules and which model module it is. You may want to look at the Smarthome Kit and how they did it. Not that I am endorsing their kit as I have no knowledge on how well it works. Just may give you some added information. The users quick start guide for the kit is on the page for you to look at. Their dry contact detector seems to have an added two pin wire. http://www.smarthome.com/318276I/I-O-Li ... Kit/p.aspx

Files menu. Restore Devices does the whole network and RemoteLincs if in the mix also. Though they may time out if there are lots of links.

Does the switch go off when you pull the tab all the way out? It should. If not it maybe defective. Above 5.0 have the Air Gap Switch. Older ones had a different method to do a factory reset. All of mine are older.

X10 Modules; Smarthome Insteon in X10 mode or the older Smarthome X10 compatible modules? Real X10 modules do not understand Preset Dim commands.

Thank you.
