  1. I would second try a power supply. They are known to be a failure for some of us.
  2. You said you factory reset the PLM. So it was cleaned out of all information and you had to restore all the data.
  3. I have also seen LED flashing sometimes confusing. Depending on the LED color indicating modules on or off. When the test is run. Depending on the phase. The LED may alternate from module status indication and test indication.
  4. In the tap test. If one is flashing Red and the other one is flashing Green. They are on different phases. Red is communicating and on the same phase as the one doing the test. Green is communicating on opposite phases and bridging the commands from one phase to the other phase. The Quick Start manual posted previously should explain the test. Not as critical thees days as the older power line only modules having issues. I have the full manual if you need it but it doesn't say much more. FYI the range extender is a 2477D LampLinc with the dimmer parts missing. Even the same FCC Number.
  5. Most of the Dual Band Modules including the 2413S/U PLM. Have a built in communications test. Called four tap, communications or beacon test. Full users manual usually has the information. Basically you start the test in a module then you go and look at other modules LED. The LED patterns give you information. Like same, opposite line phase, not seeing any signal. On the PLM. Four taps on the set button starts the test. It should start sounding its beeper. Then you check other modules LED patterns. Some will not show anything as it can't directly see the test from the PLM. I use the tests on my now not totally needed 2443 Access Points and the 2922-222 Range Extender. As I am old school almost all single band power line only Not extremely important. As long as one of the modules can successfully communicate the PLM to the tested module. Many of the papers and developer documents originally in an NDA; are now found here. https://github.com/pyinsteon/pyinsteon/commit/2533494a8b13b30b2d0938c9a18afe782b740410 There maybe different revisions there.
  6. The Event Viewer at level 3 may also give you a clue. Like if the if the PLM had to retry a command. If the module did not ACK the message. Older power line only modules also have to get the message. Like something is making noise, signal sucking or the PLM is on one phase of the home and the module is on the other phase and coupling is poor. Dual band also uses RF so it is not as big problem these days. I also remember some modules may wait for a message or noise on the power line as it tried to be polite.
  7. The reconditioned ones may also depend on the original revision. I am sure they change the power supply parts and the serial board controller. But I seriously doubt they can update the firmware version. 2E is the last one I have seen on V2.1 and above. As of V2.4 new designed serial board with built in surge suppression on the two serial signals to the outside world. Possible they added suppression on the older serial board as part of the updates.
  8. ACT has been gone for awhile now. The AF120 filter was nice. JVDigitals XTB-F15 was also nice. Both are gone now.
  9. I found some information I added to the box for a FilterLinc. 5mmx20mm, 10Amp, fast blow, ceramic body, with leads As previously mentioned. The old fuse should be marked. Maybe with a number from China where they where made. My spares are Littlefuse 216 series.
  10. The 1626-10 filterlinc is 10 Amps and the fuse is a 10Amp with wired leads and ceramic body.. The 1626 5 Amp looks exactly like the 10 amp version inside except the fuse is 5 amps. I acutely have some spares i bought. There is a real old thread here where other issues where found. Like bad and failing solder joints on the PCB. I will see if I can find the ones I bought and give more details. FilterLinc.pdf
  11. If your system has Insteon modules. The eisy requires a USB 2413U or the serial PLM you are now using for your ISY994i with the UDI custom serial interface cable. I don't use ZWave but I believe you need an added device connected to the eisy.
  12. With world trade uncertainty these days. We have no idea on when the new PLM maybe seen, if ever. I just went to the Insteon sales site and no mention of it. Also the 2413U USB PLM is out of stock with an expected receiving more date is October 2025.
  13. Can not say what they have in development. There was some information on the Insteon.com. By the present owners on a new PLM was in the works. I can say the one developed by the previous owners and was in the FCC Database. 2234-222 USB,2234-223 Serial. Are not anywhere close to the present 2413S/U PLM. Completely different case closer to what the 2457D3 is in size, more universal power, more faster and sized link database. The back side has a separate AC connector panel that looked like it could be changed to other countries power standards.
  14. My NVG448BQ installed by Frontier. Was laying on its side and was getting very warm and even smelled hot. The information on the ARRIS web site said it should not be laying on it side as it has ventilation slots on both side. I mounted mine vertically as the installation sheet said. It it is now just slightly warm.
  15. Some brand and model LED lights don't work well on Insteon dimmers. Some here have found certain bulb models work better. Quick test only. If you still have an incandescent bulb around. Try replacing one of the bulbs and see if they work better. Some information from Insteon that may assist you. https://www.insteon.com/products/led-flicker-glow-eliminator https://support.insteon.com/support-knowledgebase/get-started-led-filter Those networks are also available from other sources and the manufacturers data is easily seen on the page in the link.
  16. I was fortunate. During the period when the USY994i was supported and you could still add plugin modules. I add the ones in my original ISY994i to a a spare base ISY994i. They are linked to the UUID.
  17. The LED observation. Was the original power supply and the replacement fixed it? If so my supply on the ISY994i did act similar when it started dying.
  18. Real early like 2006 2476S On Off Wall Switches and 2456S ApplinceLinc
  19. Me too on the 0 with or without the dot. Early days of Insteon (dating myself again). They had paper stickers. The glue dried out and the sticker fell off. Sometimes getting lost.
  20. I agree. I have had a few myself. From old ISY44i and ISY994i. With one. The ISY994i was OK until I did a power cycle on it. Then all it did was start to reboot and the supply shut down and the cycle repeated. One nice thing was the ISY994i has a wide power input range, Mine where originally 5V 500ma and 5 volt 1 amp. Now I have 12V one amp.
  21. The 2472DAL is power line only. So you may want to try a dual band device in its unswitched outlet. So it may have an RF path to see it it changes anything. Though it sounds like one of the other solutions may fix the issue.
  22. Pro was an ISY994i add on. It added more link database size and the ability to disable automatic update wries to modules or just wireless devices so you could wake them up individually. So they didn't possibly interfere with each other. I believe that feature is standard in the eisy with no add on needed.
  23. Yes. The pro add on. Let you delay writes completely or just to RF only devices. That allowed you to wake up each device and then write the updates to that device alone.
  24. It also has to be a USB 2413U or the 2413S from the ISY9941 and the USB to serial adapter cable. With the special wiring sold by UDI.
  25. Is the old one a 2413S or 2413U? Not well up on the Polisy I vaguely remember it could also use a 2413S serial. The eisy is USB so you need a 2413U or the specially made USB to serial UDI cable UDI has available.
