The label on the bottom should have the ZWave module is installed in the part number. On the later models there is a screw under the model label near the back edge. I had to punch through one of mine to open it. Here is some information on the ZWave board, installing if you bought it separately or just want to see the general information on it. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Z-Wave:_Ordering/Assembly_Instructions Unless the Amazon vendor added a module. The box's label would indicates it was not a ZWave enabled ISY994i from the factory. The $1.00 purchase would enable a board you purchased separately and add it yourself.

I can't help you on if it would work. I don't think the Sensor Input on an I/OLinc is fast enough to see a rapid On, Off, On sequence. I would not be too surprised if it had a small time delay detecting changes. So contact bounce didn't cause errors. I don't think I got an I/OLinc Developers Notes paper. I can check and see if I have anything on it. I did a reverse schematic of the Sensor Input just to see how it roughly worked.

I don't think an I/OLinc Sensor Input can react that fast. You would still have the time needed to send the status change to the ISY994i on the power lines and be processed. The I/OLinc is strictly a power line only module.

A USB to serial port adapter should work with a 2412S or 2413S. The adapter will be given a Com Port number. You put that number into the Connect To Interface Device screen. Com Port Box and pick Use PLM. Then hit the connect choice. I believe it then says disconnect. Then in the EZIOxx Tab. Pick the EZIO8SA type. It will say not connected. Then put the six digit Insteon ID on the back of the PLM connected to the EZIO8SA. In the Insteon ID (?) box. It should then say Connected and you can use all the functions available for that device. When done. Go to the Connect To Interface Tab and hit disconnect. You can also use a 2412U or 2413U and no external adapter need. As they have a ftdi chip in them. So you just have to have the driver in the computer. It would be assigned a COM Port number NO do not try and put the EZIO8SA's PLM into the linking mode. I have no idea if the 2448A7 would work. It may or may not. I found the 2448A7 Developers Notes we got in the now defunct Developers Group. It indicates it emulates a 2414U PLC and not a PLM. Yet the presently being sold ones say PLM and the specification look like a PLM'. The notes where not always correct or the early ones where in the 2414U age. I don't know of any other devices with multiple I/O. I believe others here have used (IoT) Internet of things to use other devices. I have no data on such connections or devices.

By default mine goes into Documents and Settings Brian folder. It will have a long name. ISY-Backup Firmware Version Date {Year Month Day} Time {Hr. Min. Sec.}.ZIP

Smartenit builds some of their modules on the 2412 base board. They may have an excess inventory. On EBay they have the 2412U USB version for $29.99. If you want to go with an interface. That would be one way to go. The 2412S serial and 2412 bare units where also listed.

The EZICOMM is a serial PLM with their daughter board. Depending on its age. It could be the older power line only 2412 main board or the Dual Band 2413 main board. Your tests seem to indicate it is one of the Dual Band ones. The Ethernet style cable between the EZIO8SA and your EZICOMM is a serial protocol signal. I ran mine on a 2412S PLM. The SHN Utility needs an Insteon PLC (2414U,2814U or 2414S) ,PLM (2412S,2412U,2413S,2413U) or one of their Gateways to talk to their modules. If you wanted USB. The 2413U, 2412U PLM or their EZICOMM USB version would be the easiest. When connected it would be given a COMM port address you could use in the utility. A USB to Serial Port Adapter with a 2412S or 2413S PLM with its serial cable from the box. Should also work. I don't think you need to run the utility unless you wanted to see its setting or change something that can't be done in the ISY Administrative Console.

The four Digital Inputs are opto-isolated. Your instruction sheet should show you how the use them if you have dry closure inputs or a DC Voltage.

The SHN Utility needs an Insteon PLC (2414U,2814U or 2414S) ,PLM (2412S,2412U,2413S,2413U) or one of their Gateways to talk to their modules. Depending on the model of the module. It can read and write information to their module. I looked at the screen for the EZIO8SA. Things like setting locally the relay output times, turn on end off the analog inputs, debounce inputs. Turn On and Off the 1wire inputs. Read what the settings are. Set all options back to factory settings. Do a module test where it cycles the systems through the inputs and outputs. I don't know if you will need it. I don't use mine so I don't know how much the ISY994i can set and control. The revision 2.0 utility they are linked to. Does not need an interface to run it. The slightly newer 2.02b needed the interface to see the options. If you just want to see what options are available. For each of their modules. You can run it and see the options. With no PLC or PLM connected.

Some large installations close to the maximum links limit or in two locations. Could have more than one. I have one main one and a test one.

Not sure if this will give you the needed information. From the UDI Wiki. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page#ISY_Portal_Renewal_Instructions

I have two 2843-222 manuals. The earlier version used the jumper. Jumper installed. It sent a on command when it opened and off command when it closed. Jumper off. Activate Scene 1 when opened and activate Scene 2 when closed. Cycle power to read jumper status after a change. Also did not have the external Set Button on the top cover and you had to remove the cover to use the Set Button. Later manual for version 1.9 and above. It does not show any function for the jumper. It also has the external set button on the top cover. It does say you can set the scene 1 and scene 2 operation through software. My 4614 Rev 1.B has a different PCB in it than both my manuals show. Does not even have a place where a jumper could be installed. I believe that they may have changed the code format again. Maybe too many of us figured out the previous ones.

The 5010Z is a RainBee8 irrigation module. Adds ZigBee support to the module. Looks the same command wise as the 5010A EZFlora. For Insteon/X10 commands. I would suspect it should understand the commands sent to it. What Firmware and UI are you running on your ISY994i?

I have a Siren Module in my setup working fine. Firmware 5.0.16C does support it. Tip. If you want it do chime and set a time it sounds. You set the parameters you want in the Scene it is in or you don't get what you wanted. If you change it in the Siren listed in the My Lighting tree.

Thank you for the information.

Thank you for the information. I was under the impression. You had to purchase a two year subscription to use Portal. Hopefully when it is required. We will get further information from UDI.

I would suspect the electrolytic power supply capacitors. The old single band ones had a linear supply and the capacitors would dry out or the famous 30V zener diode got flaky. The Dual Band ones have a small switching supply and I don't think the capacitors they used where rated for switching supplies. Just like the ones we find in the 2413 PLMs

Hopefully we will get more information on the ISY Portal needed to participate here and to do any other accesses to other ISY sites. I am one of the ones with out it. I have no need any of its functions and features.

The PLM is also 60 cycles only. So if you are on 240VAC 50 Cycles. It would not work on both counts. You may also be in a country where the Insteon RF frequency of 915 MHz would not be correct for your countries allowed RF frequency.

The Leviton filter is a good filter. As long as the current through it is 5 amps or less. Since they have been discontinued for a fairly long time now. You may have a treasure on your hands.

Click on the device you want to delete. Then pick the Delete choice. If it is in a folder you may have to move it to the main ISY list first. As I have not deleted from a folder yet. As pointed out it should be removed from the ISY994i and all links in the PLM should be marked as not used.

It is possible the PLM maybe starting to fail. Over two years old was one factor. Some indications. Where PLM Link table almost empty and a PLM restore would correct it for awhile. LED on the side off or dimmer than you remembered. Cycling the power would correct operations for awhile. There is a very long thread here on symptoms and how some of us repaired ours. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/13866-repair-of-2413s-plm-when-the-power-supply-fails/ The V2.5 2413S is what is being sold last time I checked. I know it has an improved power supply and serial port daughter board.

It is in the 5.0.16C firmware. I don't have any in use. So I can't say how well it is supported.

It does look more and more like you have a serial interface problem with the ISY994i.

Since you tried different cables between the PLM and ISY994i. The contacts in the serial RJ45 connector look good. The PLMs you have worked fine with other software using a PLM. Your ISY994i may have a serial port issue. I am not too sure what you can see if you try to look at the serial signals from the ISY994i. I never tried. the ISY994i signals just the PLM with some PLM Test programs. UDI is very responsive to problems from users.
