Can't say for presently sold LED bulbs. I know some of the earlier ones had a Inrush current when turned On and a Repetitive peek current when running. Some LED bulb manufacturers use to give you a wattage number to determine how many of their bulbs could be on a dimmer. At one time I had some that where 6 watts but the manufacturer said use 80 watts when calculating loads on a dimmer.

If a simple push button works. The I/O Linc should be able to simulate a push button. I have seen some new openers with a wired in wall mounted control panel. Send power and data on the two wires between the opener and controls. Reset with a push button because the power was shorted out to the controls by the manual button.

The I/O Linc has a normally open and normally closed relay contact. It can be set to momentarily pulse the normally open contact and act like a push button. I would not be surprised if your opener used a more sophisticated way of control. Have you verified it can be operated by a simple push button. Many of the new openers can not use a simple push button.

Your first link. The 2487S is an On off relay type only. No it will not dim. They use to be convertible with an 8 button exchange kit and a software change option. I believe the ISY can do it. The 8 button kit is no linger on the Smarthome web site but Amazon still has a few. https://www.amazon.com/Insteon-2401CLB-Button-Change-Kit/dp/B00QL8J7WW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1544787064&sr=8-3&keywords=insteon+keypad+buttons The 2334-222 in your second link is an 8 button keypad dimmer. The 2486D was a 120 volt 60 cycle power line only model. The present one is Dual Band and has a universal power supply. 100-277 VAC and 50 or 60 cycle input.

It is a coil. That is in a resistor style package. L1 was an 18uH when it was a X10 coupler. Looks like it was changed to a 15uH that gets it closer to the Insteon 131.65Khz. From the looks of the colored bands. I changed one in the earlier dryer style case. From the 18uH to a 15uH to get it closer to the Insteon frequency. In my case I didn't see much change. I agree the Leviton is a better coupler. The series capacitor-coil setup passes lots of noise and other signals the Leviton would reject. The X10Pro XPCP also has tuned signal transformers in them. I don't know narrow their band pass is. I do know I used one in a signal monitoring circuit. ELA gave us for looking at Insteon signals on the power lines. He used an ACT CP000 X10 coupler. That also has isolated tuned signal transformers in it.

Link Management. New Insteon Device, Auto Discover, works very well. Start Linking uses the modules Insteon six digit ID for its name. I have not used that method but I believe you can then rename the module to what you want to call it. Remove existing links removes any old links in the module that where left over. If you factory reset the modules first that will remove all the old links in it and reset all the options to default.

Well the IRLinc is a power line only module. If there was intermittent noise or a signal sucker. That could have caused some issues. My information may have been sketchy. Modules with more than one button. You write updates to the main module in the list. That usually does all of them.

If you have not had a chance to look at the UDI Wiki. It has full users manuals , tutorials, tips and videos. That will give you lots of help and data. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page

IRLinc 2411R IR receiver or 2411T IR transmitter? Are you using the Link Management choices to add a node to the receiver or transmitter? The Green Barrels. Do they have a 11011 inside the green circle? That indicates a Write Updates to the device is needed. You should be able to click on one of the green barrels and start a write updated to that node. You can do it for each one. If you have a PRO version of the ISY994i is the automatic writes off?

The Red ! maybe from the 3AM Query All program. That queries all the modules for their present status. If the load is off and you get a faster response. As you though. The load when on is making power line noise. If you can test it with the load disconnected and it is better. That would also indicate the load is making problems when on. If you click on the module when the Red ! is showing. If you do a query on the module when the load is on. Does it still stay Red !?

Just went to the Smarthome sales site. The Black Friday sale is from 11/21/18 to 11/25/18. 35% off on Insteon products. Daily Door Buster specials. Free Shipping. The Door Busters for the 23rd and 26th. Are the 7 module switch multi-packs.

Yes it is serial. 19,200 Baud, 8 bit, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit.

Support was not added in any version 4 firmware. I understand it is in the version 5 of firmware. Was the Siren Module linked through the ISY994i or manually linked?

A PLM is only needed if you are doing Insteon or X10. If it is only Z Wave. A PLM is not needed and there is a firmware version for each revision that does not look for a PLM and go into safe mode if a PLM is not found.

I saw the podcast. Steve Lee did indicate new things are in the works but could not comment on exactly what.

I just went to the other end of the house near a Dual Band module. If you can get Insteon signals from the barn. Then that may work. Just remember you only have about four minutes to start adding it from the time you wake up the 2440 RemoteLinc. To get back to the ISY994i to start adding it.

Try adding it by going as far away from the PLM. So it has to go through another Dual Band Module for the task of adding it. I also could not add one with a recent revision PLM until I forced another Dual Band device to do the communicating back to the ISY/PLM combination. It is also possible the 2440 has developed issues. I have had a few go bad over the years.

The sales page on the Smarthome web site. Says Product Is Unavailable in Red letters and the tab where you pick a quantity says Out Of Stock. With no added information. Could be discontinued or being updated to a newer model.

You indicated dimmer version. The 2472D OutletLinc Dimmer. Manual does not indicate you can disable the Load Sensing feature. Like you can with the On/Off models. Sometimes you can add a small incandescent load like a night light bulb to squash the Load Sensing Circuit. Another way is to get a different model LED bulb. That is not as touchy to the Local Load Sensing circuit.

Since it is a power line only Insteon module. Physical distance can be deceiving. If the PLM and 2450 are on different power circuits. The commands may not be getting between them. I would try a dual band module as suggested earlier.

It was mentioned in a thread on the Insteon.com forums. Related to the 2413U revision number. Said both the 2413S and 2413U where updated and revision 2.5 was the latest. Can't verify 2000 link data base was one of them but I suspect it is. As the sales page has been indicating 2000 link data base for months now. https://forum.insteon.com/forum/main-category/insteon-products/computer-interfaces/powerlinc-modem-usb/106551-powerlinc-2413u-version-numbers

Verify you get a V2.5 that was recently reported in the Insteon.com web site. As having improvements. The sales pages have said 2000 Links since at least Memorial day. When I bough mine and it is a 2.4 with the 1000 link database as where some recently reported ones here. Has anyone verified that the ISY994i can actually do 2000 links?

No it is not usual for the TX and RX LEDs to flash in a pattern. If there is no Insteon traffic on the power lines or if the ISY994i is not doing something. The wall wart power supply for the ISY994i is a small switching power supply. So it should not be drawing any large current spikes. Though we have seen some reports of the supply occasionally being flaky. I have my ISY994i and computing gear on an APC Back-UPS-RS1000G with no issues. The UPS AC Input is on a 10 amp FilterLinc to keep its AC power conditioner from absorbing the Insteon signals as noise. With the PLM in the unfiltered outlet on the front of the FilterLinc.

When you are using an ISY994i. Do not use manual linking of modules. Allow the ISY994i to do everything. Also a good idea to do a Factory Reset on all new modules before using them. Test links are sometimes in a module from the factory and it can cause issues.

Ramping On and Off even after a power cycle or factory reset-restore. Sounds like the power supply is failing in the old one. Let us know how the replacement works.
