There is no special software needed to access the ISY99i. You can access it from your favorite web browser. Using the IP Address it is assigned. Also needs Java installed. I have used Ubuntu and Firefox to access all but the Administration Tab as Java isn't found even though I have tried a few times to get it there. Also go though IE8 with Windows XP SP3 While waiting for the hardware maybe you can study the manual. http://www.universal-devices.com/docs/i ... rguide.pdf

You still may have split phase in each panel. Do you have any Access Points or an Insteon passive coupler on the panel in use? You may get added date with a Scene Test or using the Event Viewer in level 3.

I was under the impression that the external optional power supply should be 5 volts 300 ma. I posted that data in the Smarthome forums on using the new 2413S Dual band PLM. Since it does not supply power like the older 2412S PLMs unregulated twelve volts. Their Administrator Isaac told me I was incorrect and UDI said five to thirty volts was OK. Can you verify which is correct.

If ISY doesn't do the linking for you. It will not know your system completely and may have incorrect status of RemoteLinc changes. Both of my RemoteLincs where linked through my ISY99i. Buttons to scenes. Have you had a chance to down load the users manual? http://www.universal-devices.com/docs/i ... rguide.pdf

My setup did the same thing a few times. For now the other fix is turn off automatic time checks and set it maybe every few days. I decided to go that way as I didn't want an alpha firmware. Though it has been reported to be very stable.

For the magnetic switch. Did you use the Black and Green wires or the Black and Red wires?

You may find some clues to Insteon workings here: http://www.madreporite.com/insteon/insteon.html I agree the $199 is not worth it. I joined the developers group; when Insteon was in its infancy for $99. Then it was worth it, but support from Smartlabs is almost 100% gone now.

If it has no power. It can't report anything as it is dead. Not sure where the last state before failure is coming from. Did a test. Query my Kitchen ApplianceLinc. Showed ON. Unplug ApplianceLinc and query My Lighting. Kitchen give communications error but uses the last knows state of ON. I am hoping that others may have a solution for you test of is the power on to the EZSwitch30.

If it is after the breaker and the breaker trips. It has no power and will not answer at all. Maybe the lack of response could be used some how.

To receive the motion sensors transmission you have to have one Access Point. You don't have a second one on the other phase? Try unplugging any Access Points you have and then wait thirty or so seconds. The reconnect them and try again. An Access Point may have been locked up.

APs don't get linked to anything. The LEDs only give you tests for communications and phase bridging. I believe in the Smarthome forums. The new Dual Mesh Lamplinc was reported to bridge with any AP new or old. On the sales page for the 2457D2 Dual Mesh LampLinc it says doubles as an Access Point.

New Dual Mesh LampLinc Manual. http://wiki.smarthome.com/index.php?title=2457D2_Manual Access Point Manual detailing how new and older versions act when testing phase and communications. http://wiki.smarthome.com/index.php?tit ... 43P_Manual

I would not use a LampLinc even at 100% With an inductive load. The load current lags the load voltage. Even at 100%; if the triac circuit is not designed for an inductive load. You could damage the load; the LampLinc or both. Also it is possible for a large spike to be generated when the LampLinc is turned off. I can not say about the new dual mesh version but the older ones have a internal fuse. It could also blow if the inductive load acts strange.

It most likely has a new Device Cat or Sub Cat ID number and ISY doesn't recognize it.

I have made a habit of doing a Factory Reset on every new device. When I install it. Smarthome has in the past shipped devices with Test Addresses in them.

Good to hear it worked.

Have you tried a Factory reset on the PLM? Unplug the PLM Disconnect the ISY99i from the PLM While holding the Set Button, plug the PLM in and hold the set button for three seconds. Release the button and wait for the LED to turn back on. Then you can unplug the PLM and reconnect the ISY99i

The older SwitchLinc relay and Icon On/Off switch do not have the air gap switch. Like the newer ones do. The Icon sales page does not show a link to the older models users manual, but I found it. http://www.smarthome.com/manuals/2876sb.pdf The breaker will reset the unit if it is lost. It will not factory reset it. Press and Hold top Paddle 10 seconds then release. Tap the set button in all the way Then release. Push the set button all the way in and hold it for at least 10 seconds. Then release. In a few seconds the load will turn on. Indicating a complete reset was done. If yours has the Air Gap/Set Button the present manual is correct. Pull Set /Air gap button switch all the way out for 10 seconds. Push the Air Gap/Set Button switch all the way in for 3 seconds. Release the Set/Air Gap button and in a few seconds the switch is factory reset.

Simplehomenet's Specifications tab for the EZSnRF says twenty devices and a total of 256 links. The Simplehomenet Utility Suite V1.81 also shows twenty codes to pick from. Not sure if anything has changed since they published the specifications.

Smarthome has an RFID Kit for Insteon. Basically it is a reader that uses a relay module to trigger an IOLinc Sensor Input. I built one with parts since I had recently purchased a four pack of IOLincs and didn't need another one. I found a few errors in the Instruction sheet but it did work. Security Codes; as mentioned; maybe a different thing.

Yes the X10 status is reported. For Switchlincs. Never tested my older ApplianceLincs or LampLincs. I found a Q&A on how the older Switchlinc Dimmers act. Not sure about the latest revision ones. Biggest difference is using the Local Paddle to dim or brighten. It does not send a stream of bright or dim commands many X10 modules use. When the paddle is released it send a single X10 %Preset Dim command. If dimmed to 0% or brightened to 100% an X10 off or on is sent and not the %Preset Dim. Most X10 modules have no clue on how to handle a % Preset Dim Command. The Smarthome X10 only and Insteons with an X10 address should know how to handle the % Preset Dim. My older revision SwitchLinc Relay Modules send an X10 on or off when the paddle is locally toggled.

Thanks for looking into this. I found a real odd one. Did a Show Links in a Device on a Remotelinc. Said all records matched. Hit compare again and 3/4 of the lines turned to Extra Record Found. Third compare all was Identical again.

Now that you mentioned it. My Extra Record is the one proceeding the line of 0's. Also mine has changed with a second compare if more than one line is marked as an Extra Record. The second compare then only shows the last one. This also was happening to me in older revisions and it didn't start with 2.7.6

I have also seen the Extra Record Message. I had one module show almost all of the records where Extra and I did a compare a second time and it said all records matched. Both the ISY Link Table records tab and the devices records tab matched line for line and I still got the Extra Record indication. Restore the device and the same thing shows up. Extra Record between the Device Link Table and the ISY Link Table. Again line for line the same. No I am not talking about the line with all 0's as that is the first open table entry for the device.

That is what most do. An Icon may have been slightly cheaper, but the LED on the ones I have are Yellow or Green. Also no bargraph of the LEDs. Just the one that glows when it is Off.
