EZswitch30 - how to monitor if it loses power?
If it has no power. It can't report anything as it is dead. Not sure where the last state before failure is coming from. Did a test. Query my Kitchen ApplianceLinc. Showed ON. Unplug ApplianceLinc and query My Lighting. Kitchen give communications error but uses the last knows state of ON. I am hoping that others may have a solution for you test of is the power on to the EZSwitch30.

EZswitch30 - how to monitor if it loses power?
If it is after the breaker and the breaker trips. It has no power and will not answer at all. Maybe the lack of response could be used some how.

Insteon on off messages received but cannot use as triggers?
To receive the motion sensors transmission you have to have one Access Point. You don't have a second one on the other phase? Try unplugging any Access Points you have and then wait thirty or so seconds. The reconnect them and try again. An Access Point may have been locked up.

Access point behavior, and ISY question
APs don't get linked to anything. The LEDs only give you tests for communications and phase bridging. I believe in the Smarthome forums. The new Dual Mesh Lamplinc was reported to bridge with any AP new or old. On the sales page for the 2457D2 Dual Mesh LampLinc it says doubles as an Access Point.

Lamplinc at 100% OK as Appliancelinc replacement?
I would not use a LampLinc even at 100% With an inductive load. The load current lags the load voltage. Even at 100%; if the triac circuit is not designed for an inductive load. You could damage the load; the LampLinc or both. Also it is possible for a large spike to be generated when the LampLinc is turned off. I can not say about the new dual mesh version but the older ones have a internal fuse. It could also blow if the inductive load acts strange.

2457D2 Unsupported Device?
It most likely has a new Device Cat or Sub Cat ID number and ISY doesn't recognize it.

Incredibly stupid me tries to set up incredibly simple scene
I have made a habit of doing a Factory Reset on every new device. When I install it. Smarthome has in the past shipped devices with Test Addresses in them.

Reset ISY-99 and PLM - moved house
Good to hear it worked.

Reset ISY-99 and PLM - moved house
Have you tried a Factory reset on the PLM? Unplug the PLM Disconnect the ISY99i from the PLM While holding the Set Button, plug the PLM in and hold the set button for three seconds. Release the button and wait for the LED to turn back on. Then you can unplug the PLM and reconnect the ISY99i

Check (and fix) switch status
The older SwitchLinc relay and Icon On/Off switch do not have the air gap switch. Like the newer ones do. The Icon sales page does not show a link to the older models users manual, but I found it. http://www.smarthome.com/manuals/2876sb.pdf The breaker will reset the unit if it is lost. It will not factory reset it. Press and Hold top Paddle 10 seconds then release. Tap the set button in all the way Then release. Push the set button all the way in and hold it for at least 10 seconds. Then release. In a few seconds the load will turn on. Indicating a complete reset was done. If yours has the Air Gap/Set Button the present manual is correct. Pull Set /Air gap button switch all the way out for 10 seconds. Push the Air Gap/Set Button switch all the way in for 3 seconds. Release the Set/Air Gap button and in a few seconds the switch is factory reset.

Setting up EZSnsRF Wireless Receiver
Simplehomenet's Specifications tab for the EZSnRF says twenty devices and a total of 256 links. The Simplehomenet Utility Suite V1.81 also shows twenty codes to pick from. Not sure if anything has changed since they published the specifications.

Activate a security program
Smarthome has an RFID Kit for Insteon. Basically it is a reader that uses a relay module to trigger an IOLinc Sensor Input. I built one with parts since I had recently purchased a four pack of IOLincs and didn't need another one. I found a few errors in the Instruction sheet but it did work. Security Codes; as mentioned; maybe a different thing.

LampLinc load sensing reports status to ISY
Yes the X10 status is reported. For Switchlincs. Never tested my older ApplianceLincs or LampLincs. I found a Q&A on how the older Switchlinc Dimmers act. Not sure about the latest revision ones. Biggest difference is using the Local Paddle to dim or brighten. It does not send a stream of bright or dim commands many X10 modules use. When the paddle is released it send a single X10 %Preset Dim command. If dimmed to 0% or brightened to 100% an X10 off or on is sent and not the %Preset Dim. Most X10 modules have no clue on how to handle a % Preset Dim Command. The Smarthome X10 only and Insteons with an X10 address should know how to handle the % Preset Dim. My older revision SwitchLinc Relay Modules send an X10 on or off when the paddle is locally toggled.

Fix single link in a device table?
Thanks for looking into this. I found a real odd one. Did a Show Links in a Device on a Remotelinc. Said all records matched. Hit compare again and 3/4 of the lines turned to Extra Record Found. Third compare all was Identical again.
-
Fix single link in a device table?
Now that you mentioned it. My Extra Record is the one proceeding the line of 0's. Also mine has changed with a second compare if more than one line is marked as an Extra Record. The second compare then only shows the last one. This also was happening to me in older revisions and it didn't start with 2.7.6
-
Fix single link in a device table?
I have also seen the Extra Record Message. I had one module show almost all of the records where Extra and I did a compare a second time and it said all records matched. Both the ISY Link Table records tab and the devices records tab matched line for line and I still got the Extra Record indication. Restore the device and the same thing shows up. Extra Record between the Device Link Table and the ISY Link Table. Again line for line the same. No I am not talking about the line with all 0's as that is the first open table entry for the device.

Switch with no load?
That is what most do. An Icon may have been slightly cheaper, but the LED on the ones I have are Yellow or Green. Also no bargraph of the LEDs. Just the one that glows when it is Off.

Base cabinet lights that turn on like a refrigerator
Jay M. What shipping method did you pick? Deluxe Ground use to always be FedEx Ground. Now it is their choice. I have seen other posts in their forums from buyers close to the Smarthome factory. Taking over a week to get there. Economy Ground they don't even guarantee same day shipping. I believe they say two to three days to ship.

Remote & Receiver?
Yes I still have a few hold over X10 Chime Modules.

Remote & Receiver?
Wouldn't be a nice thing; if Smartlabs made a small Insteon Key Fob?

Remote & Receiver?
The EZX10RF can receive all 256 X10 Addresses and will pass them on to the power line. You can also use a specific X10 Address and command to map to a linked Insteon device. I am not sure if the ISY can manage Insteon Links to it. If you don't have information on it. Including the uses instruction sheet: http://www.simplehomenet.com/proddetail ... 9357342313 If you are going to only use an X10 signal to trigger an ISY event. An X10 remote and a X10 Transceiver could also be used. About how far away do you want to use the remote? As there maybe a range issue.

Automated kitchen
If they are Low Voltage Lights. Unless the power supply for them specifies they can be dimmed. I would not try them with any dimming modules.

Can't launch in any browser
Do you have a Firewall? I know Zone Alarm had to be told the ISY99is address before mine worked correctly.

Device Communications Error after power loss.
No problem. I had done all the things before you even posted a bug was found. Thanks again for all the support the whole UDI team give to your products.
