There are other posts here with similar problems. Fixed with a new supply. My original supply was a 5V .5 Amp. For one and 5V 1A for another one. UDI sells a 12V 1A replacement supply on its sales site. The ISY994i has a fairly wide DC input voltage range. 5V to 30V if memory serves me.

Anyone interested in Insteon details whitepaper. It is on the Insteon.com web site. In Italy. It seems to be gone on the USA Insteon web site or I just missed it. http://www.insteon.it/documentation/insteon_details.pdf

I have seen V2.7 posted recently. Long time ago. I had a Smarthome Engineer tell me some revision updates where not for a design change but a different manufacturers equivalent part was being used. So what V2.6 and V2.7 have differently. I sure can't say. I also have a box full of older 2412S and now 2413S PLMs. ?

If the Siren is in a scene. You can set how it operates in that scene. In the Scenes list of devices in it. Not the main Administrative Console list. The Siren Modules interfacing information. Was one of the modules Smarthome didn't give UDI little or no information. I understand they had to reverse engineer how it works. I think that it may not have every feature implemented correctly.

The Green 10101 indicates that there are changes that need to be written to the device. Battery operated devices have to be woken up by holding the set button until the devices LED flashes. Then you pick write updates to the device.

If you follow the link MrBill provided. Just click on the old one in the Administrative Console and pick the replacement as the module used to replace the old on. No it does not have to be powered up or even still installed. The ISY994i writes all the needed new links into the KPL and replaces the old modules ID with the new modules ID. Where ever it needs to be changed.

Since the I/OLinc is also power line only. You may have some new or declining electrical device in play.

Yes. You can use them for better communications. I have two of the older style 2443 Access Points. In the ISY994i system. You don't add them or the Access Points to the Administrative Console. Just plug them in. You can use their built in communications test if you want to see how well they are communicating. If you care too. I can't comment on how a HUB handles them as I never use a HUB.

Putting the filter on the AC Line input to the module. Will kill the Insteon power line commands. If the module is Dual Band. It would have to use Insteon RF for communications. The offending noise maker is what should be on the filter.

The 2450 I/OLinc also has a switching supply. My old ones was a 10uF/25V C7. Then they tried a 10uF/50V C7. My latest one is a 220uF/50V C7.

You did a Factory Reset on the SynchroLinc? That should have cleared its link database. I tested with a Factory Reset SynchroLinc and added it to my ISY994i 5.0.16C firmware. The show devices links test showed one entry. The link starting with E2 and then the PLM's six digit Insteon ID. I looked inside mine and as pointed out by larryllix it has the poor capacitors in it as a PLM and the values seem to point out it also has a switching power supply. Though the supply chip must be on the solder side as I can't verify it is a switcher.

It does sound like you may still have some old links from when it was used in a HUB. The Red flashing indicates a no response from a module it was supposed to be controlling. Many here found a Factory Reset on a module used in a different controller like a HUB. Was the best way to prevent left over links no longer valid. When added to an ISY994i

If the problem moved to where ever you installed it. It does sound like it was a bulb possibly making noise and triggering the 2457D back on.

What Insteon module is controlling the lamp? Some Insteon plug in modules have Local Control Sensing. If the module was off. Toggling the loads local power switch off and back on would turn the module on with out an Insteon on command. The electronics in some LED bulbs could trigger them back on when turned off.

I too have had a few wall warts fail. On ISY99i and newer ISY994i. I would try a supply and see if things are better. If the ISY994i works correctly but the power LED on it is off. There are a few reports here where the power LED does not light but everything else works 100%.

The hardware revision number is on a white sticker on the back of the PLM. You have to start a communications test from another dual band module. For the LED to flash red or green. Some modules out of RF range may not cause the LED to flash at all. Goes On and then Off is something I am not familiar with. So I looked at the Modem Developers. There is a data bit that can be set in the Set IM Configuration command to turn off Automatic LED operation. Then an LED On or Off command is then needed to turn the LED On and Off. I can't imagine how that could have been set or even if it is the problem.

Mine is also on solid green. If a dual band module is doing a Communications/Beacon/4Tap test. It may flash green or red. To indicate it is receiving the test signal and on the same or opposite phase of the power lines. What hardware revision is the PLM and its firmware reported in the PLM Info/Status test in the Administrative Console tools?

The manual and photos of the 2234-223 Serial and 2234-222 USB versions. In the FCC Database. Indicate it has a universal power supply 100VAC to 240 VAC, 50Hz/60Hz. Larger Link Database of 4000 over the 2413S 1000. Internal photos show a separate AC input plate. Only a guess but it should be easy to change the plate to match other parts of the worlds AC standards and tune the RF section to match other countries allowed frequency. So maybe eventually others may see a PLM that works in other areas of the world.

If you factory reset the modules and are using a HUB with an ISY994i. The reset will clear out all of the links in the module including the HUBs Insteon ID and links it wrote to the module. So the HUB will not control them. The ISY994i and HUB will not know each other or see changes made. So they could over write unknown links from the other interface in the modules.

Where the Switchlinc modules linked with the manual set button method or did you use the ISY994i to do the linking? The ISY994i should be used to do all the linking between modules. Manual set button links maybe corrupted or over written. Many here recommend a factory reset on any system that was manually linked. To start fresh with no possible half links in modules.

Thank you for the information

In the PLM Status/Info. Is the firmware still 9E in your v2.6?

Salt may eventually corrode the sensing pads or maybe do a false wet condition. If the salt absorbs some moisture from the air.

I think the Power LED is run directly from the ISY994i's internal power supply. As the power LED lights almost immediately on powering up the unit. If the ISY994i is working normally except the power LED is out. The LED or the current limiting resistor for the LED has probably failed or their is a bad solder joint, PCB run. If the whole thing stops work after trying the recommended 30 second power cycle. The wall wart is probably failing. I have seen another post here where the power LED was out but the system was still functioning. I would see what UDI says about it.

Both the Insteon modules you posted on. Are not in any version 4 firmware. Took quite awhile for my siren modules sitting in storage for version 5 to be released. As Smarthome dragged their feet on getting UDI needed information on both modules and the Alpha and Beta releases of 5 where tested. I am using 5.0.16C as I have no need for any present ZWave card support.
