News to me too. Except for seeing an dated module to replace the PLM in the FCC Database. Looked like it had a faster 4000 Link memory. Universal power supply for possible overseas use and a AC input plate that could be flitted with different power plugs used in other parts of the world.

Do not connect the PLM to any UPS outlet. The UPS should have a power line conditioner on its input. It will filter out the Insteon power line commands as noise. Some here have used an UPS output and used the Insteon RF to get back into the setup. The unfiltered outlet on the FilterLinc would also work.

I also would think I2 and I2CS would be supported. X10 support for new things went away a few years ago. The biggest thing I would hope will happen. They give UDI the needed information to properly interface with them. I know of. A few times in the past. Where the information was not shared or was incorrect. I believe a few devices. UDI did its best to get some data on their own through tests.

Some TV's, Computer Power supplies, some cell phone chargers to name a few. Unplugging a suspected electrical device and then seeing if anything improved. Not all electrical devices may cause problems. For me I have two Vizio LED TV's that suck up X10 and Insteon power line commands. They have a nice fat sized capacitor across the power line. To keep their internal noise off of the line. It sucks up the power line commands. I don't have them filtered as a few Access Points {nor replaced with Range Extenders} get the Insteon signals all over the home. My few X10 devices have no issues because I have an XTB-IIR online and it hits the power lines with over a 10 volt X10 signal. It is also one of the few X10 power line repeaters that respects Insteon signals and not corrupting it. You may also want to see if the ISY994i's Scene Tests can show anything. If you have not found the excellent ISY WIKI. It is loaded what great tips, videos, the full ISY994i manual and the ISY Cookbook. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page

I have my UPS on a Filterlinc and my PLM on the unfiltered pass through outlet on the front.

The modules are probably Dual Band unless extremely old. So you could try their built in communications tests and see what can access others. Some manuals called it a Beacon Test or Communications Test or four tap test. Especially between devices on different panels. Is the PLM for the ISY994i on a circuit that also has the computing equipment or an UPS? Both can sometimes absorb Insteon power line commands.

What version firmware and does the UI match the firmware version? What is the device's part number you are trying to add? Looks like you using the Start Linking method and not the Add a New Device choice from the drop down menu? From the Event Viewer information you posted. After the initial ID by holding the Set Button On the Device and it being seen. It is not sending back any more details on what it is. When it is being sent a request for information on it. You may want to try a Factory Reset on the device and see if it may have some corrupted information in it.

If you just disconnected the old PLM and did not reboot the ISY994i. It will think the old one is still there. As the PLM is detected when the ISY994i is powered up.

The replacement supply in the UDI store is 12Volt 1 Amp. So that will be fine.

I may not have been clear. It was from the unregulated +12 to earth ground on the outlet and the common supply side to earth ground on the outlet the 2413S was plugged into. The resistors did not change the actual 20.4VDC from +12 to supply common. Measured on the serial daughter board found in the below V2.3 PLM as the latest has a redesigned daughter board. Ground tab on the daughter boards +5 volt regulator chip and the supply side of the unpopulated F1 fuse pad. That use to supply the voltage out the serial port in the 2412S PLM.

It was definitely some sort of stray reading. If I put a 1Meg resistor across the meter . It want from 46.6 volts to 22 volts. A 330K dropped it to 2.0 volts. This was on two 2413S PLMs. V1.5 and V2.1 I tend to be extra cautious as I have seen some of the Insteon modules having line derived supplies and folks trying to add external push buttons on theirs. The original 2456S3 ApplianceLinc actually has the main +30 volt supply tied directly to the hot Line input. Good to read yous is still functioning strong.

I would be careful. I did an additional test. I don't know if it was my high impedance meter reading some low current leakage. I found about 46VAC from both the +12 and supply common to earth ground. I would think the T1 transformer would have isolated the low voltage output from the high voltage primary supply.

That will not work. The main power supply in the 2413S/U is unregulated +12 Volts DC switching supply. Normally around 20Volts DC. Page 12 of this thread has the base 2413 power supply schematic. In a PDF file you can download and study. That unregulated +12 Volt DC supply is used for the power line transmitter. It also feeds a +5 volt regulator for logic supply and a +5 volt regulator on the Serial or USB Daughter board plugged into the main board. There is also a small line driven supply for the Zero Crossing Sensor. I have not seen any messages of a user disconnecting the unregulated +12 supply and feeding the electronics with an external supply around +20 Volts DC. Not too sure how the disconnected switches output would act.

Homelink uses X10 310MHz RF frequency. So the 2342-222 Mini Remote can not directly control Insteon modules. As Insteon is 915MHz. May be the remote could trigger an Insteon program or scene. The ISY994i and PLM can do X10 power line not RF. Can't say about the Homelink Poly.

Glad you got the Smartenit modules fixed. They where all built on the 2413 base PLM board? The power line only versions with the 2412 base PLM board the capacitors are different,

Hardware issue. The LED is driven right from the ISY994i's internal power supply. So the LED itself or the current limiting resistor are the most likely candidates. If everything else seems to be OK. It may just be a LED failure.

Try a different power supply. There have been reports here of this problem. There are a few message threads here on the same problem you are having. If your old supply has a LED on it. It may not be On or is very dim. I have had three power supplies fail. On various models I have used over the years. ISY994i has a wide voltage range it can use. 5 to 30 Volts DC Center connection is +. Mine where all 5 volt ones. Many here have used 12 volt ones and UDI sells a replacement in their store. 12 volts 1 amp.

Possible the DC output from the old supply. Was full of AC ripple and the ISY994i could not use it but the LEDs sill where lighting. Maybe dimmer than normal.

Thank you for the update. Good to see it is functioning OK. This is from an I/OLinc Hardware Revision V2.3, firmware 41. If yours is newer it could be different. On mine pushing the Set button to toggle the relay. Does not send a signal back to the ISY994i. So it will have no idea you used the local Set Button. To trigger any program.

I have some of the original revision. 2476S SwitchLinc V2 modules. No Air Gap switch. Factory reset was a combination of holding the top paddle for ten seconds and release. Tap the set button. Then hold the set button in for ten seconds.

The 2457D2 would work fine. The 2992-222 Range Extender is a 2457D2 with the dimmer components not installed.

If set to Momentary A as shown for 2 seconds. It should just pulse the relay for 2 seconds and then it would go off. I suspect it does not send a signal back to the ISY994i and it thinks it may still be On. You can look at the LED on the side. If it is dim the relay is Off or Bright it is On.

You asking about the Magnetic Switch or the Output relay in the I/OLinc. The internal relay should be set to pulse on for a few seconds. To simulate you pushing the openers control button. The magnetic switch is designed to be On when the magnet is close to it. As it is a security systems sensor.

The magnetic sensor in the kit was changed awhile back. Did the old kit have a magnetic sensor. That had three connections? Normally Open,Normally Closed and a Common. With the old model sensor you could wire it On. With the magnet near the switch or away from the switch. It could also be possible. They changed the magnetic sensor. So it is now in the opposite state when the magnet is close to it.

The FCC internal photos of a 2475D2. Show it has a switching power supply. Not too clear what type electrolytic capacitors are in it. So not immediately clear if they are rated for a switching supply. Like the 2413S PLM issue we have seen. I may pop one open and give it a look. One symptom on the 2413S was worked for awhile then stopped. Powering it down and let it cool off. It would again work for awhile.
