Then you have a chance to get a different module if you care to. I do know early ones had a history of failing and I don't know if they ever fixed it.

Turning on a high capacity relay does sound like a go way to go. Elk made a heavy duty 220VAC relay in an enclosure. With a 120VAC relay coil in an enclosure. Controlled by a On/Off module or any other similar module. Not sure if it would be anything you can use. https://www.elkproducts.com/product/heavy-duty-relay-contactor-9200/ Insteon sales site shows a 220VAC controller. https://www.insteon.com/load-controller

Some versions may not have the Jumper Header. Just two solder pads where it was mounted on the PC board. In the early manuals. Was to set the reduction in sensing field. Jumper On is reduced sensitivity. The small jumper block was many times on one of the two pins on the PCB. Some have used the power connector in them to run them on an external USB power supply. They are supposed to not have to go into the power saving mode on an external supply.

Motion Sensor Only Works in Scenes, not Programs
Brian H replied to gregkinney's topic in IoX Support
If it is like the one never seeing the light of day in the FCC Database. It would have a larger faster Link Database; faster processor clock, more universal power supply. Like 120 220VAC 50 60Hz. -
Make sure the PLM is totally booted before you power up the eisy. If it is like the older ISY994i PLM detection is during its boot up.
-
The sticker should also have a revision number on it. That also may give us information on the PLM.
-
The 2413S and older 2412S PLM use a unique cable. RJ45 to a DB9S connector. Only three wires are used. Serial In; Serial Out; common and in a unique pin out . The other pins are different signals like TTL in and out and the older 2412S also unregulated +12VDC normally around 18.5VDC. To be safe do not connect any other wires to the RJ45 PLM serial connector. Other than the three signals the serial PLM uses.

Have not seen it lately. We use to have LED bulbs that had a repetitive current spike and in rush current at startup. Manufactures gave us a figure to calculate the wattage we should use when we added up wastage to see if we where maybe overloading a dimmer switch. I remember a few said use 80 watts. 😀
-
Adding a dual band module. In the pass trough outlet is a good move as the I/OLinc is power line only. Adding the pass through module was recommended by Smarthome and now Insteon company.
-
Not sure if it has changed but we have seen brand new directly from Insteon modules. Having factory test links in them and a factory reset was need. Many here actually factory reset all our new modules before using them.
-
You are using a Polisy or eisy controller? They support the PS01. The old ISY994i does not due to last firmware released.
-
Mine was worse. The power LED flashed as it tried to boot and then the supply crashed and the sequence started again.
-
Did you use the Administrative Consoles replace the PLM function? To replace the old one for the new one. That would replace the old PLM's six digit ID in all your modules and then put your modules known six digit ID in the new PLM. I don't think a deleted module is completely removed from the PLM but one byte of the entry is changed to indicate it was deleted. The PLM is sent a factory reset command from the software at the start of the replacement or rewriting the whole known modules addresses. That should eliminate as marked as deleted.
-
Try a new power supply. They had a reputation to fail from time to time. I had two om my ISY994i and one on the older ISY99i.
-
Just be careful to possible get the serial signals correct. If the spare PLM is a serial port 2413S. The serial signals on the RJ45 style serial connector. Use just three signals. Send,receive and common. The others are TTL and should not be connected to anything. If you still have the PLM box. In the box should be a cable that has the RJ45 to DB9 serial connector for proper connections.
-
The 2476S single band switches where smaller than the dual band 2477S. As the 2477S had a larger size but also had a higher maximum current they could handle. Along with a heavier line and load wire. Never saw or used an I3 module so I can not say its size.
-
Checked the device list in my ISY994i There are three devices listed for Broan. Two are fans. I suspect the switch you have was part of a exhaust fan kit with a control. 05.00 SMC080 exhaust fan and 05.02 SMC110 exhaust fan. 05.05 was a deluxe range hood.
-
I also searched and found it maybe a Broan exhaust fan controller. That was used in early Insteon history. I did not find the exact number you posted it the developers shipping products list but close numbers used in the Broan. I know their products where used at one time and you may find them in the modules list in the ISY device list. With the device Category of 05 and a few Subcategories. Found this in a web search from Insteon.com. Pointed out by them. Page #4 shows how it can be used with Insteon. broan-ssqtxe110-specsheet-390.pdf

The PLM connected to the EZIO8SA is not connected to the ISY994i. It is programed by the EZIO8SA and is used to send and receive Insteon communications. From your ISY994i. So it would not be directly part of the change from the ISY994i to the eiay. When the eisy has the information from the ISY994i. It should be able to then access the EZIO8SA through it own PLM.
-
Restore or the replace PLM? If you did not use the replace function. All the old PLM links are in the modules and the new PLM will not see the messages sent to the old PLM. Paulbates tests will give you much needed information. If the information shows many links look at the back of the old PLM for its ID and see if the old PLM ID is in the displayed information.
-
You have two PLM's. One on the ISY994i and the other one is used on the EZIO8SA. The one on the EZIO8SA is probably a 2412S PLM or their equivalent. It would be power line only communications.

Is there an easy way to replace a 6 keypad with an I3 keypad
Brian H replied to richtimpa's topic in IoX Support
I3 is too different than the other keypads. If replace with does not work. Then what Guy has pointed out will have to be done. -
The modules have a Category and Subcategory ID assigned to each model Insteon module. Some may have more than one Subcategory. For revisions. Like software versions and features. Like original I1,I2 or I2CS. My thoughts are they check the ID of the module you are trying to install and found it was an ApplianceLinc not a LampLinc.
-
I have not seen one but it maybe possible. I know by trying. Replacement of a 2456S3 Appliancelinc with a 2635-222 Dual Band On/Off module did not work. On my ISY994i. My thoughts are since the new module is Dual Band. Has extra features that just exchange it would not work correctly. The 2456S3 is a responder only while the 2635-222 can also be a controller. While an Icon 2856S3 or the X10AM466 ( was made during the X10 bankruptcy by the old Smarthome and was really a 2856S3 labelled )can be used in place of a 2456S3.

I had similar feeling on my ISY26 and then my ISY99i. I definitely agree UDI has exceptional support. I still have some X10 in my setup. My Insteon modules are old enough to also have an optional X10 primary address in them. So my HR12A palm pad can still control them.
