Thanks for sharing. Looks like the plastic in the case is not that rugged. I hope you are not the start of a new Insteon case issues. As the same basic case is in the LampLinc, On/Off, Range Extender,Alert, Siren and I believe the latest hardware First Alert modules. If push came to shove with Smarthome/Smartlabs. You could have reported it to the Consumer Protection Commission of the US government. Live AC exposed to unsuspecting users is a safety problem. Not every user would have the where with all to turn Off the circuit before trying to remove the exposed electronics.

The internal photos of almost all Insteon modules. Are in the FCC Database if any one ever wanted to see them.

You could also use a current sensor. To detect when the pump is drawing current running. I know a CT800 can trigger an I/OLinc http://cocoontech.com/forums/page/articles/_/tutorials/home-automation-tutorials/how-to-monitor-the-status-of-your-appliances-using-current-sensors-r58

Did you Garage Door Kit have the original NC and NO contact magnetic switch? That you didn't have to use the reverse sensor function?
-
The Query sees the real sensor status and not the reverse trigger status. Most replace the magnetic switch with a proper set of contacts. When this happens. This started happening when Smarthome cheapened up the Garage Door Kits contents. The original magnetic switch has both a NC and NO set of contacts. So you did not have to use the Trigger Reversed setting. https://www.smarthome.com/seco-larm-sm-226l-3-magnetic-garage-door-contact-switch.html

In your post. In the Event Log. I see the PLM getting the command to send an Insteon message and the PLM sending an ACK that it was valid and sent. I do not see any SRX Standard Message or ERX Extended Insteon Message received back from the module. You may want to double check the six digit Insteon ID on the label and see if it is correct. I have misread a few myself. You may also want to try the other method of adding it. Start Linking Hold Set Button on the 2472D until it links. Stop the Start Linking function and see it it will then be added.

The original RemoteLinc had its six digit Insteon ID number inside the battery compartment. On the lower bottom inside case. I saw many posts on where is the ID as the manuals never gave a clue where it was. I also got a few of the short lived X10 replacement modules. That where actually Insteon modules {they accepted X10 at that time} with the original labels removed but still had the Insteon firmware in them. Most added to my ISY-994i with the Start Linking method. Only the ControlLinc had to go the indirect manual link to a module. Then compare links in the module to what the ISY994i thought should be there.
-
The Insteon Micro Modules have a sense input. Maybe someone has experience with those type modules.
-
I have seen a few of the later modules. Using a much better label. Looks more like a plastic label and laser printing. Many of the other Insteon Modules. If the label got damaged. You could use the Start Linking Method to add them. I have a database for Insteon. Every new module I note the Model Number, Hardware Version, Date Code and Firmware version reported by the Administrative Console in my ISY994i. To a ID number I assign to it and put a sticker on the case.
-
The older 2476S SwitchLinc Relay modules also do not have a Air Gap Switch. To kill the AC Line when pulled out. Had a 100% different method to do a factory reset. From the later hardware versions.
-
Switch has probably failed. Power supply comes to mind. If still in the two year warranty. Call customer service and arrange an exchange for a new one.

I have a low cost RF Spectrum Analyzer. I can see the RF bursts but not enough to decode. I can coax my scanner to listen to the 915MHz but all I hear is bursts. There is some data here. Though even when I was in the developers Group. NAD and all. I don't believe the information may have been there. The update white papers maybe some help. I don't believe it was updated recently enough to cover I2CS. Insteon with Check Sum messaging http://www.insteon.com/technology/

Sorry for the delay. Big storm. No power for twenty four hours. Batteries in the phone company. Small equipment building down the road. Only keeps them alive for maybe an hour. I still am on DSL. I believe the values of C3 C11 and C8. Are also used in the 2413S PLM. So you should be able to use the part numbers for the values. The 10uF400V was used in the PLM if memory serves me. It fit my PLM and I believe it will on the 2450 I/OLinc/ C7 is the one that is in the switching supply and should be the 220uF/50 volt if possible. Both the first change 10uF/50V and 220uF/50 volt are physically to large. Have to be mounted horizontally to the PCB and the leads bent at a ninety degrees
-
Thanks for the photos. After looking at it. I found my observations where incorrect. C3 is the 6.8uF/250V not C4. I will have to update my information file to correct the C3 misread.
-
1. I believe C3,C11 and C8 are the same values as the 2413S. Though the C numbers on the PCB silk screening may not match each other. The new part numbers going by old and new value picked should match. {1-4} C7 is the only capacitor in the main power supply and not in a pi {capacitor, coil, capacitor } configuration. Like the 2413S. Just one capacitor for the main power supply. It was a 10Uf/25V in my 1.0. Changed to a 10uF/50V in my 1.8. The 2.3 has a 220uF/50V. If your is a 10uF I would go for the new value of 220uF/50V. The power supply is around 21VDC that is on the low side of the 24 volt relay voltage tolerance. The 10uF voltage goes even lower when the relay coil current is being supplied. With the 220uF it stays at 21VDC. It will not fit on the PCB in the normal position. It is horizontal to the PCB and the legs are bent at about 90 degrees. Small dab of component glue holding it place. C7 is the one that is on the switching supply and is the one most critical. Should be low ESR or rated for a switching supply output. I don't off hand have a part number for it as it is not a value in a 2413S. 2. Just a someone tampered with this screw indicator. 3. I have seen the white stuff on my modules also. I think it is leftover residue from the cleaning. Maybe that ROHS not real lead solder.

It is a Piezo Beeper/Sounder. I had a chance to look at a few different hardware revisions of the 2450 I/O Linc Modules. They use the same LNK354GN Switching Power Supply IC as the 2413 PLM and V2 Access Points. C7 was the part I found changed. Between hardware revisions. Hardware V1.0 0851: C3 6.8uf/250V C11 100uf/25V C8 10uf/16V C7 10uf/25V 25V rating was close to the 21VDC I measured on it. Hardware V1.8 1202: C3 6.8uf/250V C11 100uf/25V C8 10uf/16V C7 10uf/50V Mounted horizontally over PCB. As it was large to fit the boards hole spacing. Hardware V2.3 1430: C3 6.8uf/250V C11 100uf/25V C8 10uf/16V C7 220uf/50V Mounted horizontally over PCB. As it was large to fit the boards hole spacing. My thoughts are. In V1.8 C7 was changed to 10uf/50V for a better safety margin. In V2.3 C7 was changed to 220uf/50V to beef up the power supply. The original 1.0 had a very small filter capacitor and the output actually went down when the relay coil turned On. Use a capacitor for switching supplies.

There was an announcement about maintenance but it indicated 10/29/17. Maybe it got changed. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/22739-isy-portal-maintenance-10-29-2017/?hl=portal
-
You using On/Off relay type or dimmer type switches? Unless marked dimmable. CFL and LED bulbs should not be used on a dimmer.
-
I just tried the Start Linking method. It did not work for me. Kind of a round about way, but I have done it with a ControLinc. That is the most ornery Insteon device I have ever seen. If you have a new module is best . I added it to my ISY994i. Looked at its links. Manually linked the RemoteLinc2 to the module. Then looked at the modules links again. The mismatched link is the Remotelinc2 six digit Insteon ID.
-
I believe the Auto Discover needs the six digit Insteon ID. If it does not work. You may want to try the Start Linking method. Then put the RemoteLinc 2 into the programming mode. With the Set Button. If found. It will be added by its six digit Insteon ID.

Possible the connection between the thermostat and the adapter was getting poor. Disconnecting and reconnecting cleaned it up. Power cycling by removal and reinstall cleared up a glitched controller chip. Another thought is it maybe starting to fail. Though the FCC Database photos don't show any capacitors that typically fail.

2412S firmware v.63 is old and is a 417 Link Database model. The later ones where >2000 Link Database but most found above 800 Links started missing things. I don't have any exact data on it but it not cooperating with latest models would not surprise me. I also remembers some firmware versions being quirky. I would seriously think about a new PLM. The 2413S PLM also has a faster processor and memory. So it should speed up operations. The wall wart in my ISY994I kit is a 5 Volt 1 Amp.
-
The one in my ISY994i kit was a 5 volt one. As pointed out the voltage has a wide range. The 2412S supplied unregulated +12 volts to the ISY controller. That typically was closer to 20 volts.

The Smartenit EZIComm is their version of a PLM. Serial or USB along with the RS485 option. It is built on a main board they buy from Smartlabs and add a custom Daughter Board. Present ones are on a 2413 main board and specifications say it is Dual Band. I believe the earlier ones where on the 2412 main board. I would expect the Dual Band ones would have the same power supply issues as the 2413S/U and hardware V2 2443 Access Points. Never used one. I would think when used with an ISY controller. You could restore it just like a Smatthome 2412S or 2413S My Simplehomenet {before changing name to Smartenit} EZX10RF is built on a 2412 main board.
