Flashing green light cant find isy
The supply in the link. Is 12V 1Amp the converter for the other sized barrel connector adapter is .6A

Garage door opens unexpectedly
UPS units have a power line conditioner in them. That see Insteon and X10 power line signals as noise and absorb the signals. So another possibility is the UPS is absorbing the signals. Fix is the same a FilterLinc on the UPS AC input. I have a FilterLinc on my UPS and the 2413S PLM on the unfiltered outlet on the front.

Insteon Devices - Cannot Communicate With...
Are the effected ones new enough to be Dual Band? The original power line only modules will not respond to a 4 tap or communications test. I too think you may have a new noise source or signal sucker. If only a few or many do not follow commands.

We can't update the firmware. Technically the folks at Insteon could. The PLM has two programming connectors. One for the RF controller and the other main controller. Though you need a programmer used for the model controller chip being used and the Source Code and we know that will probably never be made public.

Controlling Insteon I/O Module with Change of State with of Go-Control Z-Wave Thermostat
Here is one I found. It is a common issue with the I/OLinc as it was not updated (as far as I know) to remove the All On response. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/42728-garage-door-opens-unexpectedly/page/2/#comment-379116

I have had similar findings with an ISY99i and ISY994i. Bad power supply and flashing power on led.

Serial PLM vs. USB PLM
Main Board has the firmware in the main processor and firmware for the separate RF controller. Daughter board the link memory and USB or Serial interface chip. Only thing that may cause an issue. Is if the device connected to the PLM checks the Category and Subcategory reported by the PLM. There is a different Subcategory for a USB or Serial Port PLM. A USB daughter board in a Serial PLM would report it was a Serial Port PLM. Though I don't know if too many programs accessing a PLM check.

Serial PLM vs. USB PLM
In the 2413U. The daughter board has the USB interface chip on it. Along with the link memory. After conversion. The same signals are used to and from the main board.

Device not Showing in Admin Console
eiay or a ISY994i? If an ISY994i do you have the PRO model?

Not seeing X10 in event viewer
I am also using a V572. In my case I used the TW523 port on my XTB-IIR. Jeff's great XTB523 is also well known and works great. Unfortunately WGL has also gone out of business.

How to test Insteon devices for ALL ON vulnerability?
I also saw the posts missing. Did not check back to see if the one line was still there.

Linking Mini Remote 8 Scene
Yes like all RF only devices. You have to wake it up first. If you picked with the link management remotelinc2 method. I believe it gives you the method as you try and add it. I believe using the SET button to start it in the linking mode. Full Manual should have given you that. If you had the PRO option. On the top of the administrative console. Would be two added choices. For Automatic updates for RF devices and for Automatic updates for all devises. It also allowed a larger number of devices you could use with the ISY994i. If it didn't come with PRO. You would have to purchase it to add it.

Linking Mini Remote 8 Scene
Are you using the Link a Remotelinc2 choice in the Link Management list? That should give you three choices. 8 Scene, 2 Scene and Switch. In your case 8 scene. From the product information we got in the Developers Group. 0 1A 8 Scene US frequency. 0 1B 4 Scene US frequency. 0 1C On Off switch US frequency. The other numbers you are seeing. Are for the older 2443A2xxx remotes and not what you indicated you have. Remember if you have the PRO add on. Make sure you have automatic updates to RF devices enabled. https://cache.insteon.com/documentation/2342-x22-en.pdf

Not seeing X10 in event viewer
Good to see you found the problem and a way to correct it. Also shows the new PLM also still will receive X10. Coming from an X10 start. Power line noise, phase coupling and signal suckers. Was a common issue for us.

How to test Insteon devices for ALL ON vulnerability?
None of the Insteon modules including the PLM. Can be flashed by the end user. Old Smarthome did factory reprogram some like the update the SignaLinc RF to the Access points. Modules I have do have a 5 pin firmware programming connector. Takes access to a programmer for the controller chip and the source code. They never have released the code as far as I have ever experienced. Most of the modules have a Line connection to the logic supply so you risk a nasty shock or worse! The PLM has two firmware connectors. As the PLM has a main controller and a second one for the RF controller. Unless the present Insteon Co. Wanted to do a reprogramming maybe by a return, program, ship back to the customer. Probably for a fee. It most likely would not be possible.

Not seeing X10 in event viewer
The passive X10 SignaLinc device. That is hard wired between the two Lines? I have seen posts where the capacitor has failed and the coupler is not working. In the 2406H. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/28722-anyone-dissect-a-2406h-phase-coupler/ . The X10 4816H used a 18uH coil and a .1uF capacitor. As there where two. 4816H was the X10 and 2406H was the Insteon X10 signals are close enough to the Insteon signals. Both would usually work fine. You can still find the X10 4816H on sites like Ebay. If IndyMike thinks it would help your X10 issue.

2450 IO Link Status not changing with Momentary A
That sounds like the way my 2450 acts when in Momentary Mode. When I did some tests.

9E has been the standard firmware from back at least to V2.1. Hardware changes did happen. Like changing C7 and C13 to one made for switching power supplies. Serial chip on the serial daughter board to one with a better ESD rating. Now a redesigned serial daughter board. With some added surge protection on the two serial signals. My ISY994I with 9E in the PLM. No problem with sending or receiving X10 and showing in the Event Viewer.

If they changed the X10 commands in firmware. It should have caused a new firmware version number. I don't use an eisy. In an ISY994i. It can be found in the Administrative Console, Diagnostics, PLM Info/Status. Should give you the six digit Insteon ID number, firmware revision (mine is 9E), connected if being used by the controller. I seriously doubt they removed the received X10 message from the PLM to the controller and left the transmit X10 message from the controller to the PLM. If you use the Insteon Forums. You could also ask there. https://forum.insteon.com/forum. Or there own support address https://www.insteon.com/support Over the years. I have seen occasionally an X10 received problem with the PLM. Most times it was the hardware in the PLM having issues.

Thank you for the updates on the All On commands. Still being in some modules. I saw your posts on the Insteon Forums. Lets hope they will correct the removal of that command. I suspect some information was carried over from the old management and just make more with the same firmware.

Your new PLM is a 2413U or a 2413S with their USB to serial adapter? Wired with the special pin outs for the 2413S? Do you have a screen that gives you the firmware version in the PLM by chance? Did you have the optional A10/X10 module add on in the ISY994i? I don't have an eisy but have seen it used the USB interface and didn't use a serial port directly. I don't think Insteon changed anything in the latest 2413 PLM to remove X10 reception.

Restore Device problem
JV Digital Engineering. Still has their XTB-F15+. 15 Amp filters in limited stock. It is a X10 filter but maybe OK as Insteon and X10 power line signals are not that far from each other frequency wise.

How do you factory reset a ISY994i?
Can't say about the portal. Factory Reset. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/Resetting_Your_ISY

Is this evidence of Insteon device failure?
The 2450 also uses the same switching power supply chip and poorly chosen capacitor model and capacity. I have seen a 10uF/25V in a V1.0 for C7. A 10uF/50V in a V1.8 and a 220uF/50V in a V2.3. At least in the ones I looked at. I don't know if they ever woke up and used a capacitor made for switching supplies. So after many years of working. It is possible it may eventually get flaky.

Using a USB PLM in Place of a Serial PLM
You can not use a 2413U on an ISY994i. The ISY994i has no USB jacks for the converters USB connection. Also the USB jack is the B type. On a 2413U. I don't believe the power pin on the B jack has an optional +voltage connection. To supply power to the USB plug to power a converter. Most USB to serial adapters have the A style USB connector. If you want to use the 2413S on your eisy. It is best to use the one sold by UDI for that application. As it routes the three serial connections on the 2431S PLM to the eisy correctly and does not have a chance to get the unique. RJ45 style jack on the 2413S's serial pins incorrectly wired. https://www.universal-devices.com/product/serial-plm-kit/
