Insteon I/O Linc
The I/OLinc is a power line only module. If you have a new noise maker on the power lines or a device sucking up the power line signal. You can get no communication to it. If you have a spare dual band module. You could test communications with it in the pass through outlet on the front of the I/OLinc. Another thought is a filter capacitor. That module also has a switching power supply and has the same problem like the PLMs have had.

Glad you found your solution. Misread ID is one of the more common issues. Some are hard to determine between some characters.

Raspberry PI died and ISY deleted half the nodes
Check the power supply or better try a replacement. Known problem for many ISY994i users. That a new supply fixed. Has a wide voltage input range so you may have one handy. No Blue or dim Blue Power On LED would be a clue. Mine just tried to reboot and then tried again in cycle as the supply didn't have enough in it to keep it running. Blue LED kept pulsing on and off.

Insteon Device Status does not Auto Refresh
Here is some information on the ISY994i and its SD card. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Replacing/Formatting_an_SD_Card

Can Insteon 2486D KPL work without a load?
Just cap it Off. Not capped of could be a problem if it accidentally shorted to something else. Is a common practice even some manuals show that fact to just use the module to control other modules. It is a power line only Insteon Module. If the renovations changed the wiring. You now have a new power line noise maker or signal sucker. That maybe what you are now seeing. As a test or maybe a fix. Depending on having a plug in Dual Band module. Try plugging in a Dual Band module on the KPL's circuit and see if it then can be accessed.

eISY cannot connect to USB PLM
Make sure the PLM is powered on first and fully booted. So the eisy can find it when it boots up. If it has failed and less than 2 years old. You might have a warranty claim. What is the information on the white sticker show? It will give a clue to some things related to it.

2842-222 Failed to Add to ISY994i
Log shows it was not replying to your messages. Only the PLM acknowledging the message from the ISY. Moving the ISY did then find it. There maybe a distance or signal blocked by something. Since it is an RF only device. Moving it let it communicate. You did wake the sensor up before trying to add it?

ISY994 and Power Outage
If this was some older 2456S Appliance Linc units. There was actually a firmware version. Where someone at the old Smarthome. Thought it was safer to always start Off even if it was On at power loss.

EISY challenges post 5.7
For the two that will not register at all. Double check the six digit Insteon ID Number on the sticker. It is easy to misread the some ID characters. Like 0 and a D for one. A wrong ID would certainly cause that error. Anything new or moved electronically. One possibility is a noise maker causing communications errors. Since I am staying with my ISY994i and do not have your system. I can't say if the problem is a software issue.

EISY SERIAL PLM KIT
Extending distance may depend on the serial interface chip in the adapter and maybe the 2413S. V2.3 added a more ESD safe serial chip. V2.4 added the chip and a transient suppressing network on the two serial signals to the outside world. On an updated serial port daughter board in the 2413S I have see ISY994i users having success with extending the serial cable to a longer distance. Between the 2413S and the computer. Maybe the same for an EISY adapter. If you want to see what a serial connection is OK to run on. 2413S PLM. 19,200 Baud, 8 Bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit. No hardware hand shaking. A standard network cable is four twisted pairs of wire. Pair 1 is 1&2, pair 2 is 3&6, pair 3 is 4&5 and pair 4 is 7&8.

EISY SERIAL PLM KIT
The RJ45 Serial Connector. Is a serial signal on a Network style cable and not a network signal normally on that type of jack and cable. So there is also a limit on the length also. If you do try and make a cable. Only three signals are used and their position is documented in the PLM Quick Guide. Since other connections are things like TTL level signals. Best to not carry them through the cable at all. I suspect UDI has their adapter made to the three signals only needed on the serial side of the adapter. RJ45 pin 1 RS232 to PC Pin 2 (RX), RJ45 pin 7 Common/Ground, RJ45 pin 8 RS232 from PC Pin 3 (TX), RJ45 pin 3 TTL Out, RJ45 Pin 6 TTL In.

Problem with new PLM
Rare instances. Power line noise may fool the PLM into thinking there is a valid message in progress. It will then wait on both power line and RF messages until it thinks the massage in through. I agree your Link Database is too small for almost any system.

Username and password
Have you tried the default admin admin. In case it changed back to default during the update. Do you have a series 300 or 500 Z-Wave board. As there was only 500 series in the later revisions.

PLM not connecting to eisy
Verify the PLM is powered on and completely booted. Before you start the eisy. So it is found when it is started up.

There may still be a firmware update but limited to the last one supporting a 300.

Replace Togglelinc 2466S With On/Off Switch 2477S
The 2466S is a power line only relay style module. Sounds like it has failed as you expected. Since you chose the 2477D dimmer. Replace will not work as replacing a relay with a dimmer will not give you a choice.

Questions about moving my ISY994 to a new home ...
Z-Wave may depend on the board installed in it. 300 or 500 series. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Resetting_Your_ISY I am like you. My ISY994i is still 100%. If I can get answers from users here. It will be fine for me. I updated mine and its backup to the latest firmware and added a few options to the backup. Before they where discontinued. Now if you wanted to use some of the latest I3 Insteon Products or third party programs. Then an EISY would be needed.

Weird Insteon dimmable light issue (new bulbs?)
Also when on a dimmer. Verify the LED bulb is rated to be on a dimmer. Not all of them are made for a dimmer. Also may have mounting restrictions. Like not in a totally enclosed fixture or damp locations.

Troubleshooting a newly installed LiftMaster 8365W
The compatibility check in the previous post. Would definitely determine if the 2450 dry contact output. Will control the door. Without any added interface or creative actions. The connection on the motor side is the same as the control end of the same two wire cable and maybe where you already have the 2450 connected. Though either end should be the same signal.

Troubleshooting a newly installed LiftMaster 8365W
You may want to check the momentary mode choice on both sides and if both sides show the sensor On with the door in the same open or closed position. Are both 2450 units the same revision or close to the same. The administrative console would also give you the firmware version. The LED on the side indicates when the rely is On. When in the momentary mode it will pulse bright for the amount of time the relay pulsed On. Momentary B sends the pulse. When its receives either an On or Off command. Momentary C takes into consideration the Sensor being On or Off. Have you found out if the new opener is even compatible with a dry closure pules. Intelligent ones may not like a dry contact pulse on their control wires.

Updated to 5.7 lost keypadlinc and miniremote
It does look like the PLM power supply has failed. Some of us have rebuilt ours but a brand new one will have all the latest components and RS232 signal lines having some protection.

Troubleshooting a newly installed LiftMaster 8365W
When it pulses do you see anything on the 12V on the NO and COM terminals? If you temporarily disconnect the wires on the NO and COM. Can you see with continuity tester or ohm meter a pulse when it activates? The bright LED pulse does indicate the 2450 is receiving the ON command.

Troubleshooting a newly installed LiftMaster 8365W
You maybe able to hear the relay inside the 2450 if it is not too noisy around where the 2450 is located. When trying open or close the door. The LED on the side close to the manual set button should also pulse bright and dim. As the relay pulses. That may give you a clue to see if the 2450 is actually trying to open or close the door. Tried both a V1.0 and V2.3 2450. Set to Momentary B (tried C also) 2.0 second On time. On both of them turning the relay On resulted in a 2 second bright LED indication on the side LED. If the LED does not pulse Bright. It is possible the Insteon command is not getting to the 2450. Your meter did show the sensor changing. Another indication is the Green Sensor LED on the external wiring area.

994i not found
You can still get ISY994i support but for a year it is a fee support. Fellow users here are always a very big help. I would also try the Launcher pointed out. One other thing has been the ISY994i power supply getting near end of life and causing issues. If the launcher doesn't find it. You may to try supply as a test. You may also find it in your network routers connected devices list. That may also give you some added information. Though I suspect the latest Launcher and Java may do the trick.
