The sensing current is always there. The Local Sensing on and off only tells the firmware to ignore or process the sensed changes. X10 has similar or even worse current on theirs. Some users have wired a resistor across the load to squelch the current. The older X10 fix is a 4 watt standard night light bulb on the load. You are not alone with the LED type lights. I have tested a few brands myself and they all tend to glow when off.

Salad Core sounds more like a 2414S PLC than a 2412S PLM. They are 100% different from each other. No the 2412S and 2414S/U can not have their firmware flashed by end users. The Salad Core is a program loaded into the PLCs programming memory.
-
Some of the PLMs had their cables inside the box's inside cushions for the module and they where black. Besides the Blue ones packed externally.
-
I would not plug the PLM into the power until the ISY99i is connected to it first and using the correct cable. The Black one as mentioned is not the correct one and is just part of a standalone PLMs included parts.
-
Maybe time to call Smarthome and get two replacements for the battery killers. Sounds like they are not going into suspend mode and draining the batteries to fast.
-
Thanks for the added tests and results.
-
IM; Thanks for the tests and information. It will be a great help to many.

On the sales pages for the switches and modules. You will find links to the complete users manuals. They are much better than the one sheet quick guides. The factory reset is covered in those manuals. I believe the latest SwitchLinc Relays may now have a power disconnect switch on the set tab. Only the dimmer types use to have them. So the procedure maybe different if you have the newer Relay types.
-
Well if no other modules are giving you any problems. It does sound like the Icon has gone bad.
-
You may also want to try. Unplugging it and then waiting for 30 seconds then plug it back in. Sometimes a short power glitch can lock up a module. I have had to power cycle a few of mine from time to time.
-
Unless the newest LampLincs where redone. NO problem. All of mine [yes I peaked] the Green Ground wire goes from the rear male pins to the female output pin and does not even connect to the internal PCB board. If you could connect the adapters ground wire to a grounded screw. Then anything on the LampLincs output that used a ground would have one.
-
Yes I have a pair of Access Points and both of them flash their LEDs with both X10 and Insteon messages.
-
Pressing the Bright button to exit, toggles the Beeper On and Off. The All Off toggles the LED On and Off.
-
Yes the two beeps. I accidentally let go of the Bright Button too soon and I believe the reset didn't take.
-
I have not seen anything on the LED flashing about every 8-10 seconds. Mine do the same thing. So any more data would be nice to hear. Mine are the Rev 1.0's. By chance what does the sticker say on yours?
-
Mike; That is what I finally did in my home. Took the time to map every electrical outlet; switch and light. To each breaker. Well 99% anyway. There was one outlet that is never used; behind a china closet. Since I moved in and is never used.
-
Also are the flashing lights controlled by any non automated switches. Like a dimmer?
-
I have also seen the same thing. Old ApplianceLincs I had. Where touchy to a few of my loads. The new ones with the same loads where fine.
-
Hitting the Bright Key to exit will toggle the audio beeper on and off. The All Off Button will toggle the LED on and off. I have done both myself. Then I read the users manual and found out what I did.
-
Magenta is the color indicating a Controller. Blue is a responder. All my RemoteLinc entries are the same. Also my SwitchLinc that has a local load and controls an ApplianceLinc. Is also Magenta. Also the RemoteLinc has a power saving feature. It powers down to a low power mode and will not respond to any requests unless in the linking mode. By holding the Bright and Dim buttons for 10 seconds and the LED is blinking.
-
You may have a marginal signal to that module. Most of the time it is fine but sometimes it misses. I have four modules on one branch circuit. Almost always fine in the Scenes they are in. But from time to time one or all of them miss my Morning On Scene. I think it is only when the furnace is running in the first thirty seconds of power on. When the Electronic Ignition is On. Yes I know just try and catch it.

Smarthome just announced a kit basically doing what you are doing now. Like you beat them to the glory. http://www.smarthome.com/318276I/I-O-Li ... Kit/p.aspx There is a Quick Guide on the web page. Maybe it can give you some clues to how they intend to do it.
-
Gee my BRAND NEW PLM from Smarthome is a HW 2.95 with 7A Firmware! This is not a swap for a problem one but a newly purchased one.

OH yes. Snow storm. My home gets drifts. So even though I believe we may have gotten 8" of snow. About 14" in front of my garage and top driveway. I liked Classic View and it took me awhile to stumble on the cause in my case. I hope it maybe yours too.
