You should check across the super caps connections. To see the voltage applied when running to keep it charged. Batteries normally don't like a voltage applied to them unless it is a chargeable type and the charging is regulated to not over charge it.

An FCC Type Acceptance number on the module. Would also indicate it was Dual Band with an Insteon RF Transmitter circuit in it.

I had a email from one of my friends that is a Moderator on the Insteon Forums. He said the available openings where all gone. When he tried to join. Ask me if I had joined, I had not. But if I had any data I would send it to him

The V2.3 was the first revision I have see with C7 and C13 changed to a capacitor made for a switching supply. I would still think of the PLM as a possible problem. Especially if a power off and cool down would make it work again. Empty or almost empty Link Database would be another clue. Having to Query the modules to show their present state maybe normal. If the ISY controller does not know the modules present state at power up.

You could also do a Query from the Administrative Console and see if the tripping also happens then.

I too have seen the same model LED bulbs act differently as the main model number was the same but the manufacturer changed the design in later produced units.

Yes it was the same sellers page with other items for sale. They had a few kits for the 2413S and some for the 2413U. You could tell them your hardware revision and had different kits to match what your version has in it. Tried a direct link but it was like 4 lines long.

I also see capacitor replacement kits for those who want to change them themselves.

From the sites page. That link is from Smartenit and only for repairs of their Smartenit and earlier ones with their older name Simplehomenet products. Units using the 2413 base plm board may or may not be fixed by them. As they got burned with poor capacitors like we did in our 2413S PLM and Revision 2 of the Access Points. Though asking them if they would consider fixing other modules could get a more definite answer. Depending on the model of the device. It should have more than one electrolytic capacitor. The 6.4uF 400V is the primary side of the switching power supplies input filter capacitor. Some I have seen more of the electrolytic style and some look like they have surface mounted Tantalum caps. Many times marked with the polarity and ratings. Yellow body is frequently the color of the cap. Tantalum caps are better as long as they are not stressed.

If you have a ZWave board. Pay close attention to where the older board support was ended. Later version if you have a ZWave board only work with the new board. So you would need which board you have before picking a firmware version.

My Revision 1.0-4014. Does not have a 18F25J10. It does have a white programming sticker indicating "18FJ2910 0333 V9D SMH316". That I believe is a PLM PIC chip. Since one is marked as the RF chip and the PIC32MX695F looks like the main controller. I have not removed the sticker to read the actual chip markings. It has a total of three 5 pin PIC programming connectors. J15 PLM ICP, J8 RF ICP and PIC32 ICP.

The power LED is connected directly to the ISY994i's power supply so nothing controls it On or Off. Either the LED itself has failed or the current limiting resistor is opened. I looked at the photo in the how to add a ZWave module to an ISY994i. The LED is a separate LED assembly on a 90 degree frame. Looks like an LED assembly as I have them in other devices. I opened up my spare ISY994i and did not see a screened part number on it. It is a through hole mounted LED. Soldered on the bottom of the board. The others are also individual assemblies that I originally thought where one long assembly. I would suspect the LED itself first as it seems to be very bright on mine.

It looks like I may have found the Nokia HUB data in the FCC Database. As a BC01. There are four sets of data. I believe the difference are the Test Results data. The manual is from the original manufacturer and is not updated to the Insteon name in it. This was in 2020 the files where posted. https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm Grantee Code SBP Product Code -BC01

If they use ASCII commands and not the HEX commands. Then converted Nokia HUB would not work with third party devices like the Smartenit EZIO8SA and software from other manufacturers. Without modification.

The information was very informative to me. Photos where very clear and helpful. Thank you for posting it.

The 2412S was used before the 2413S was being produced. Came in two link database sizes. 417 links and 2016 links. Was slower and most found around 800 links the ISY99i (maybe the ISY994i also) would start missing links. Probably the way the database has to be addressed. It also supplied unfiltered 12VDC (around 18VDC) out the serial port cable and could power the ISY controller or Smartenit EZIO8SA. I still have some 417 link units as two 2016 link units.

Thank you for the tips. I will look at the items you mentioned.

I looked at the insides of a 2445-222 and unfortunately there was no easily found points for serial in and out signals. The original poster maybe able to provided added information. Ebay posters are all not totally truthful. The HUB has the same switching supply as our 2413S PLM and capacitor problems. So you may find some that are close to being dead. Some of the chips in the HUB are made for 3.3V supplies. Some where 5V. So I don't know what precautions you have to use when using an external serial board. Some of the 3.3V chips have some 5v tolerant ratings.

Good to see you found the problem. I have seen some posts where a 4.xxx to 5.xxx sometimes needed manual intervention.

I have seen some reports and photos of the older 2242-222 HUB being made a PLM. That has two board in it. By removing the Network board and connecting a serial board to the main board. Not clear if the firmware running it need to be updated. The newer 2245-222 HUB has all the electronics on one board. Not as easy to find connection needed or what has to be changed if anything. I have seen one thread here where someone did get the newer style HUB to act as a PLM. I have also seen posts on fixing them as they also suffer from the same poor choice of capacitors we see in the 2413S PLM.

There are two different HUBs in the mix. In the FCC Database Insteon HUB Pro and the Nokia Hub. The Insteon HUB Pro should be compatible. As it should use all the PLM communication protocol. The Nokia HUB many talk about is reported to not be support. UDI has stated probably not supported.

Either the EZIO8SA programmed the EZICOMM wrong, the EZICOMM has issues, you accidentally got the reply read incorrectly. The reply after the reset looks correct. Wait for your package and see if their is any differences. Factory Reset is different and explained in the Quick Guide in the box.

I would second the power supply check. They can cause all kinds of strange things when they start to get flaky.

Both the X10 and X10Pro lines are still being made and on their own web site.

I am not too sure on the Factory Reset as my old EZIO8SA factory reset was for a 2412S and the one I found on the Smartenit site also looks like for a 2412S base. I know they went back to a 2412 base from a 2413 base. When they had power supply issues like we did on our 2413S PLM. It didn't get programmed correctly or not at all. You may want to try a factory reset on the EZICOMM and then read it again. Hopefully the 02 73 will then return the 02 73 00 00 00 06 Your 02 73 is completely wrong. The last two bytes before the 06. Should never be anything but 00 00. Unless Smartenit has done something not allowed by the Developers Guides information. If you have not tried a different cable between the EZIO8SA and the EZICOMM. You may try that
