  1. I believe 2.6 was sold shortly before the closure. Don't know if any revision above 2.6 is now in use. Besides the caps being questionable. I had see on Smarthome about some having static discharge and the two serial signal being damaged. I imagine some may have had connections to the two TTL level signals on the PLM with possible trouble. V2.5 has the new serial port daughter board. With a better ESD specification. Surge suppression network on the two serial lines to the outside world. C7 and C13 where changed to a Fujicon TY series capacitor with a better high frequency rating for switching supplies. They are through hole mounted capacitors. Just use some care. As some of them have a plating connection to both the top and bottom circuit runs. I accidentally didn't have the solder molten enough and tore out the plating between the top and bottom runs. Now I have a blue fly wire between a top to bottom connection.
  2. Thank you for the information. It should be a help to some users of the RA2 products.
  3. The eisy is a brand new product. That you seem to want to call your discontinued ISY994i. If you have a ISY994i. Look at the two LED's on the port 'A' connector and note their actions. That may give you a clue to what is happening.
  4. If you have the 2477S Relay model. The new one may have a face plate with only the Off and On LED positions. The rest of the plate does not have any unused LED positions. Can't say if the new company went back to all positions on the face plat. The old ones will fit as the old company said the old ones fit fine. If you wanted all of them to have the same LED pattern as you older installed ones.
  5. They are in a power saving mode and will not receive updates. Until you wake one up and then restore it. You may have a option (PRO firmware in an ISY994i) to disable automatic writes the wireless devices and then do each one individuality.
  6. They indicted only the Polisy and eisy will support the I3 devices. As the ISY994i is discontinued and would no longer get the needed firmware updates. I have no information on linking an I3 to an I2 device in the ISY994i
  7. Thank you for the findings. Maybe possible with the button routines. I forgot the Set Button Programming sequences. It does look like the LED brightness can be adjusted. I had looked in the Software Only section and it did not look like it could be adjusted remotely just with some manual button clicks and led indications.
  8. I have a Light Dim on my ISY994i. Power LED to dim it out. I did not see the LED settings mentioned in any of the 2475D manuals I have in my archives.
  9. The switch with the Red capped off. Is linked to another switch. That is controlling the load. When you replaced the bad one. Did you verify it was linked to the one with the load connected? Since the 2476D is the older power line only and the 2477D is dual band. You may have to do some manual things to get the new ones completely installed.
  10. Brian H replied to bmah's topic in eisy
    Verify the POE source voltage. The eisy is strictly 12V DC from what I saw on its sales page.
  11. UDI sells a Serial to USB adapter. To use a 2413S on a Polisy. https://www.universal-devices.com/product/serial-plm-kit/ Don't have any information on the units serial port and if it is live. I think your pin out may need checking. From the sheet in the 2413S box. RJ45 Pin 1 to DB9S PC pin 2, RJ45 Pin 7 to DB9S Pin 5 and RJ45 Pin 8 to DB9S Pin 3
  12. Probably a Date Code. From what I have seen. Some also had another number on it probably a production code.
  13. It can be confusing to some users. Yes it is a serial connection but on a RJ45 network cable and connector. Used for serial communications.
  14. I have seen other brand resistors also used. Designed for a two wire switch. With success.
  15. The ISY994i discontinued indicates you can purchase modules until 06/01/2022. So I would second contacting UDI. As the procedure was changed awhile back. I purchased some for my back up ISY994i a few weeks back. https://www.universal-devices.com/byebye994/
  16. Best to use only the three needed wires. As there are other signals on the PLM RJ45 jack that can possible connected to other things and effect the operation. Like the unused TTL level In and out signals. Insulate and don't connect to anything.
  17. The PLM only uses three wires and the pin out is unique. So you have to use the correct three wires in the DB9 to RJ45 serial adapter for the connections.
  18. The two outlined areas of the 2413 main board. Are programming connectors used by the vendor to program the main board controllers. One RF controller and the other one is the main controller. They have +5 VDC and Common Ground. Along with some other needed signals for programming. The main power supply is unregulated +12VDC that runs around +18VDC. Regulators on the main board and daughter board for logic supply. On the daughter board pin 1 and 8 are the unregulated +12VDC The developers guides where for the old power line only 2412. With a power transformer style power supply and not the switching supply in a 2413. I have seen a schematic here for the switcher and will try and find it. The guides should show you the two pins on the connector. If you have serial port on the computer. BusyRats test program may work but it requires you to send and receive the hex commands seen in the guides. The developers group also gave us a script to use with the free evaluation version of DockLight Scripting. Depending on what version developer kit we had determined what it did. I modified on one the scripts with a plain text editor for my use. As saving changes are not in the evaluation free version. Did basic things like dump the link database and turn on some of my old X10 modules. Also used a serial port but commands I used didn't need the hex data.
  19. 2413S and 2413U are both the same performance wise. Different interface to the outside world. 2413U has the USB interface inside the PLM. 2412S and 2412U are the older power line only ones and have slower link memory. The new PLM in the FCC Database will probably be later this year if at all.
  20. I too have seen supplies look fine with a meter no load and have almost no output when loaded. One of mine on an ISY controller was that way. Though none of mine had a Blue LED.
  21. It is definitely different. Near the bottom of the Quick Start Guide. On the given link. It has the Nokia option to be set to either a dimmer or a On Off device with some set button sequences. It was posted that the Nokia modules where not 100% feature wise from a standard Insteon Module. Good to see it was even seen at all in the ISY controller.
  22. The screen shot shows it is an Unsupported Device. Probably had to be added with Start Linking mode as auto probably will not find it. Not clear right now. How much the new device was programed after originally being a Nokia Module. I would imagine at least. It may have the same Category and new Subcategory when interrogate for an ID.
  23. Than you for the log data. I am sure it will be of a big help.
  24. You may want to look at this wiki page. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-994i_Series:Migrating_To_Your_ISY-994i The finder will not work on that model. As even the latest ISY99i firmware is too old for it to find and run it. The 2412S can power the ISY994i. So the use the original PLM may power the ISY994i over the serial line. Not clear if you use the ISY994i and the replacement PLM.
  25. Brian H replied to wacvmd's topic in eisy
    I did not see it on the eisy pages of the UDI sales pages or lilyoyo1's link here. Another point. The 2412UH was the model with a different Subcategory that the proprietary version of HouseLinc checked before allowing it to work. It has a slower clock speed over the 2413S/U and may even have the smaller link database found in the earlier revisions.
