I am glad you have the system working again. Thanks for the update.

All the modules in your system. Will presently have the USB PLM's six digit Insteon id in their link database's and will not respond to the six digit Insteon id of the serial PLM and probably would not respond to commands. Best to wait and properly change the PLM through the presently used controller.

Since the old style halogen bulbs flash. It maybe the module starting to fail. Some brand LED bulbs do flash on dimmer style modules and sometimes you had to choose different models to find some that would work. You may want to see that the connections to the module are good and solid. A power cycle may give you some information or a factory reset and reload the information to the module.

Have you compared the links in the module to the ones in the ISY Administrative console? Are you turning on and off each individuate sprinkler output. As only one can be on at a time. If you have set output 8 to optional pump control. Is it turning on when any other output is on? If the outputs are actually going on and off. Have you verified the 24VAC sprinkler valve transformer is working?

After the ISY994i was discontinued. We where given a few months to purchase addon modules. Not sure about a portal modules but all the others are no longer available to be added. Also we had to use the My Account tab on the UDI web site to purchase modules in later years not the purchase module in the administrative console.

If you decide to recap your EZFlora module. Thay used a 2412 base PLM to build their modules but for awhile used the Dual Band 2413 PLM base for their modules. Before going back to the 2412 PLM base when we had the power supply issues with our 2413 PLM's. So yours may have different caps than we see in our 2413 PLM. So my thoughts on your module being power line only may not be correct if your is one of the modules using the Dual Band base assembly.

If it is in the Administrative Console but you can not control the module. Another thought if it is a power line only device. There could be a communication problem between the PLM and the module. You could try as a test. Putting a Dual Band module on the same power circuit and see if things have changed control wise or moving your module to the same circuit as the PLM. As a test.

EZ5010A Smartenit EZFlora. Is most likely a power line only module. As for awhile some did have Dual Band base units used. Is it showing in the Administrative Console. In the drop down list to manually pick the module type or found if you try the add it with the module identifying itself?

Try downloading the full users manual. Requires two users if you can't access the module and its circuit breaker. At the same time. https://www.insteon.com/support-knowledgebase/2014/10/1/outletlinc-2011-owners-manual

Is the standard USB cable. With the A and B connectors.

Jeff at JV Digital also has a great set of tutorials on things like noise. On X10 issues and many apply to Insteon Noise also. https://jvde.us/x10-troubleshooting/

Both of the firmware revisions are in the old 2412S power line only PLM. Comparison to a presently sold and completely different electronics 2413S firmware 9E. May not be a good comparison.

I would also be very interested in the information.

The Developers Guide may also give you some data. Is sort of dated by now but still has good information in it. http://cache.insteon.com/developer/developer-guide-022009-en.pdf

IndyMike covered things. I would second if you have older power line modules and the system is resorted to I1 communications. That takes eight message and acknowledgement for one link database replacement in a module. Noise and communication issues may effect the restore or PLM replacement messages.

Is the 2.6 on the white sticker of the PLM? That is the revision level 2.6 not the firmware. The probably version firmware is 9E. As I know rev 2.5 had the 9E and I don't think they went higher as 9E had been the standard over many revisions. Revision 2.4 and 2.5 have the new serial port board and power supply capacitors. So you should have the better PLM as the replacement.

Official X10 sales site. Shows both the XPPF and XPF in stock. Only downfall for the XPF wire in filter is. Size. As it is a 20 amp filter and large in size. Insteon.com is also showing the FilterLinc in stock.

You have several Range Extenders not Access Points? I don't think they have not been sold that long ago. They have all surface mounted capacitors except one high voltage one in the primary off the switching supply. Now the Access Points with all electrolytic capacitors could easily have the caps replaces. Especially the V2 Access point as they on the same PLM base board including the famous switching supply capacitor issues.

The Range Extender's I have checked out. Are a 2457D2 LampLinc with the dimmer electronics not installed. You probably will see the 2457D2 LampLinc FCC database on it. Most here are use a plug in Dual Band module to do range extending and as a bonus. If you eventually need the dimmer or On/Off function. You already have one in hand. I am using a 2457D2 as a Range Extender. Not even in the ISY994i system. As it is range extending only for me and not needing any ISY control or access.

Thank you for this information. I referenced it on the Insteon Forums and Smarthome John gave more information. They had a stock pile of the chip and have sent them to the manufacture. Also mentioned they did get some of the dimmers in I believe today.

I have not seen one. I know I can get a rough level on my X10 ELK ESM1's LED Level Bar Graph display.

I have a Dual Band On/Off plug in module. It has the Green half of the LED defective and it does not light. So another possibility is it has a failed RED half of the dual color LED.

If you are not in the 4Tap-Beacon-Communications test and your module has the blink LED on traffic and it is enabled. Noise can flash the LED. I have also seen some mention that noise can occasionally fool the polite feature in a module and it waits to send until it thinks it is clear.

The supply in the link. Is 12V 1Amp the converter for the other sized barrel connector adapter is .6A

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.
