Thanks for the added information. I am thinking my EBay search didn't find it as it was closed. Yes the photos and description are of an ISY99i. I am also curious as to why it would be called an ISY26 in your routers table. Glad to hear the 2412S was also in the package deal. You may want to look at the links Rand and I gave you. For more information. If you have a firewall. You may have to tell it your ISY99is address is trusted. I know my Zone Alarm must have its address added to the Trusted Zone.

Your router indicates ISY26-Home-Auto? Mine says ISY99-Home-Auto. You may want to verify the model you purchased. I just looked on EBay and only found ISY26s. Telnet can be disabled. Maybe the former owner turned it off. You may find information in the UDI wiki or the Full Users Manual http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... =Main_Page http://www.universal-devices.com/docs/i ... rguide.pdf I believe a Factory Reset would clear everything out and turn telnet back on. Though you may want to wait for feedback from others to confirm this before you tried it. Did you get a 2412S or 2413S for the PLM that goes with the ISY26 or ISY99i?

MorningLinc was added with the beta 2.8.2 release. http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=5037

Just curious if you got the RS485 option? I finally found the pin outs for it and I like the fact you can get the option and RS232 and power are still on the normally used pins.

LeeG; There are some threads here on the >800 links in a 2412S missing things. Even though it can have >2000 links in it.

The new V2 revision is completely different than the 1.? units. Mine are 1.0 and 1.6. There are internal photos in the FCC database of the V2 units. After taking the V1.0 apart. Yes power supply is different. Old version power transformer. New version power line driven switching supply.

Computer power supplies are known problem makers. You may want to use a FilterLinc on the PCs power as a start. I have one on my APC BX1000 UPS and the PLM is in the pass through outlet of the FilterLinc. Checking the Access Points with their built in test function may also yield some added information.

You may have signal communications problems with the slow writing process. Have you tried a scene test in diagnostics? What version of firmware is in your PLM? Tools Diagnostics PLM Info/Status should give you the firmware revision.

On the UDI sales page there are upgrade options from an ISY26 to all the model ISY99i's. The ISY26 did not get power from the PLM and was always supplied with the external wall wart. In fact I have my ISY26's wall wart powering my ISY99i with 2413S Dual Band PLM.

Yes there doesn't seem to be much demand for the Insteon Modem Chip.

Some of the newer revision devices maybe redesigned with possible new quirks. My old rev 1.0 Access Points and older PLMs use a power transformer in the power supply. The new 2413S PLM and V2.0 Access Points now use a power line derived switching power supply. Better or worse. Time will tell. I have old revision 1.3 ApplianceLincs running for years no problems. Well after the recall for smoking modules. I actually had one go and smoke when turned off. Yes the SwitchLinc tact switches getting intermittent was covered very well by Smarthome. So they do stand behind their products. Even if a gentle prod is needed every once and awhile.

When I tried to use IE to access the administrative console; after the upgrade. A Java Sign in page opened up. Asking for the user name and password. This time is used the remember password box and all is better. Thanks Rand.

Just looked at the Smarthome Web Site. The 11/30/10 date may have been an error. It now says 08/20/10 for expected stock.

After you formatted the SD card. You did reinstall the firmware and restore it from the last backup or couldn't you get that far? In Tools; Diagnostics; Show PLM Info/Status does it show connected and the PLMs firmware version?

Yes they have changed their minds a few times. There is also a thread here basically saying the same thing. http://forum.universal-devices.com/view ... sc&start=0 I can verify what Michel said. The 2412S is now listed in the Discontinued Equipment Section where you can get the manual for it and the 2413S is the recommended replacement. I guess at least for now the 2412SR maybe available.

With that long of a lead time. Hopefully someone at Smarthome may make a ISY99i and 2412SR package available. I didn't see them offering the ISY99i line separately any more. Just in the 2413S packages.

Lets hope it is a mistake. I looked on the Smarthome site and any version ISY kit and the 2413S alone are all listed with the 11/30/10 expected ship date. I wounder if any one has tried the Simplehomenet EZIComm 2412S replacement?

My 2413S works fine for me also. I did notice maybe a slightly faster response to a system wide query with it over a 2412S. The 2413S has a faster link database memory in it but is smaller size than the 2412S has. Though unless you had a real large system. It would not matter too much Wow 11/30/10.

Model 2442 SignalLincRF or 2443 Access Point in the PLM pass through outlet? The SignalLincRF will not receive anything from any Insteon RF device. It uses a different frequency and was superseded by the 2443 Access Points. You must have some dual band device. Something is receiving the motion sensors. Maybe a dual band LampLinc or an Access Point somewhere. Maybe the module receiving the motion sensors signal is far from where it is mounted.

I found the error log is now a separate item. That could be a help in troubleshooting things.

My 2.8.1 Beta installed with out a hitch.

Do you know what firmware is in the PLM? You can find that information in. Tools Diagnostics PLM Info/Status That information could help with your question.

I found the installers manual for that thermostat. You may want to look at it. I am not a HVAC expert but the C terminal on your present thermostat maybe the Common you need and the photo shows a wire on it. You could maybe look at the HVAC unit and see what is connected to its terminals. The first link is the Carrier and the second is a Bryant. I suspect they also used it in their installations. http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/owner_m ... s-L0210344 Adobe can save the manual if you click on the small disk icon on the display. http://www.gogeisel.com/geiselonline/su ... nstall.pdf

That sounds like a good idea. Right now mine is sitting in its box and the power supply from the ISY26 kit is running my ISY99i with 2413S. I was thinking of using it in a UDI Upgrade to ISY99i Offer.
