Trying it in the same outlet as the PLM. Is a good idea. It would show if you have a power line signal to the Chime Module problem. If it chimes at the PLM location. You may have a new signal sucker or power line issue. One easy thing to do. Rotate both the House and Unit Code wheels around a few times. They sometimes get dirty and make a bad connection. So the address set on the wheels. Is not the addresses the module is actually using. Rotating may clean up a poor connection. The chiming at power up is normal but does not see if it actually will respond to an X10 On command.

The failing power supply. May have caused the controller to write garbage to the SD card. Power supply issues are a failure we see here. I had a few over the years myself. Glad you are back in business.

LED flashing in the bar graph display. Sounds like the power supply is full of ripple. I too would suspect the filter capacitors. Especially in the older model power line only models.

Glad you found the issue and are now working.

You need a 2413S serial port PLM. For use with an ISY994i. Connected to the serial connector on the PLM. It looks like a Network RJ45 cable but it is serial signals. Uses a network style cables between the PLM and the ISY994i serial connector Port A connector.

Looks like the Limited Stock report was correct. Thanks for sharing. At least we know their is a future for their products. We can hope the PLM will be available in the near future. Maybe even the newer one in the FCC Database.

Smarthome was very consistent with using the same cable. They where also used in the serial port connections on their X10 modules. Though some of the other pins in the RJ45 style connector where varied signals.

Yes it did have the RJ45 to DB9 serial cable in the box. Only three wires used. Hidden in the shipping cradle and not well pointed out.

Good information. The wide input range may definitely show less flicker.

Electrical feed to the home probably has issues. Electrician or power company checking maybe needed. If you don't have a meter or experience in properly and safely checking the readings yourself. If you have any plug in lights. Do they also flicker when directly connected to the outlet and not through the module? Are any dim and others extra bright? Appliances not on Insteon acting strange?

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.
