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.
-
OK that gives more data to think on. Do you know the Hardware Revision on the sticker on the back of the modules. I have had poor results with the new Rev 4.1 ApplianceLincs. I have one Rev 4.3 LampLinc but I have not done much testing with it.
-
Noise Filters or filters made for X10 and Insteon use? Many noise filters will absorb both X10 and Insteon signals as both to a standard filter are noise. Some of the better surge suppressor strips with noise filters can also be a problem. I have a Smarthome FilterLinc on my electronics setup and a 10 amp FilterLinc on my APC BX1000 UPS. Yes both are for X10 but they also work well on Insteon as it uses a power line signal not too far away from the X10 one.
-
Rand; Probably right. Not the first time the documentation was not updated to shipping product. I was to see they released a NEW Developers Guide late in February 09.

I have a very small system right now. PLM Link Count is 70. I tried four tests. Count alone 70 Counting and send an all on from a RemoteLinc count now 86 Counting and send three sets of all on. Count now 116 Count again no activity. 70 UDI may verify this; but it sure looks like Insteon Activity during the link table count can change it. The System Busy warning also indicates don't make any adjustments to linked devices. Adjustments like on off preset dim etc.; maybe included in that statement.
