  1. Yes it is a limitation in 4.6.2. Adding it as the earlier model Allows it to do basic functions. Some here that also have a HUB. Have used the HUB to set the options and then add it to the ISY994i Module Tree.
  2. The receiver may have a nice AC rated capacitor across the power line input. To keep its internal electronic noise from feeding back on the power lines. The cap will also absorb Insteon power line signals as noise. Even when Off. The capacitor is still there. That is why it is recommended to unplug devices when testing. As pointed out. Added another device on the same circuit, May have killed the signal even more. A FilterLinc on the receiver is one way to go.
  3. The IOLinc is a power line communications only Insteon module. It most likely is not bad. You probably have a signal issue between the PLM AC circuit and the IOLinc AC circuit. While the Switchlinc to the IOLinc and PLM have a better power line signal. Could also be the SwitchLinc to the PLM are using the RF signals the IOLinc can't use. Do you have any Dual Band Modules or Range Extenders coupling the two incoming power lines and used the built in communications tests to verify good communications? Is the PLM on the same circuit as the computing equipment? They frequently absorb Insteon power line signals if not on a FilterLinc. You may want to unplug electronic devices and see if things change. As some also can absorb signals or make power line noise.
  4. OK. Though the SwitchLincs we where talking about where the old 2476S/D power line only ones and in 2007 if my memory is correct.
  5. I had some earlier hardware ones with the opposite issue. Local Buttons did not work but the control communications where fine. Smarthome had an issue with the small tact switches the buttons activated. They extended the warranty on that run of hardware to seven years.
  6. Can't say about the outlets. I do know some of the modules also protect the relay contacts. With a resistor/capacitor snubber. When off there is a small current through the snubber. Can keep small loads like Christmas lights glowing when off.
  7. Was the 2466 being used at the time? Not highly likely but some devices are sensitive to Insteon power line signals.
  8. In my tests. Since the Green LED is on the sensor Input circuit. It can glow Green and still be not pulled down close enough to ground to trigger the sensor. Sounds like the water sensor may not pull it close enough to ground. I would also try the parallel resistor mentioned. The only thing is the Green LED may glow dimly even when the water sensor is not on.
  9. It does sound more like a display issue. Not 100% dead.
  10. I don't have one. You may want to with the power off temporarily. Open the unit and then close it again. On the chance the pins on the boards headers where dirty. Where they connect to socket connected to the terminals on the back of the case. Maybe verify the terminals are tight holding the wires to the heating system.
  11. V1.0 is the original hardware release. I would suspect it is failing. As any 2413S PLM over two years and a few months old. Is prone to power supply failing. Low Link Database Count is also an indication. Unless you only have a few modules. The count is low.
  12. Thanks for the information. Since it looks like the 2411T is on its way out. As the price is now 9.99. I suspect when it is gone. There will be no more. So another device would be needed. The 2411R receiver is no longer being offered for sale either.
  13. I am also disappointed that the Alarm and Siren Modules are not in going to be available. Until a version of 5.? is a Released version or even a fairly stable Beta. I believe they date back even further than the Motion Sensor II. Part of this is Smartlabs problems. Old management didn't seem too willing to share things. Even though I suspect the UDI line of products. Was helping Insteon to be more widely used. I even have a spare base model ISY994i and PLMs to play with but a Alpha is not my cup of tea. Hope new owners Richmond Capital Partners makes thing better but I suspect it may even get worse. They seem to want to to big things with internet connected things. From what their press release indicated.
  14. As pointed out in the bulbs users manual. You can't Factory Reset a Insteon Bulb. As it has no linking button. Manual mentions Insteon RF and Power Line. Though my memory says it is RF and you may have to be close enough to the PLM or another Dual Band module to access it. Manual not too clear on linking mode and possible timeout. You may want to move step 1 to between 5 and 6. The bulb may only stays in the linking mode. For a set period of time.
  15. The relay output on the UPS. Is it also a dry contact? The users Quick Guide has this in it also. The module has two Opto-Isolated inputs. I1 and I2. You can connect the I1+ and I2+ to the +5 volt terminal of the module. Then the magnetic switch between I1- or I2- terminals and the ground terminal. Then the UPS relay output between the other I1- or I2- terminal and ground. If not too clear. Please ask for more data. Can't help with programming. It also has two Digital Inputs I3 and I4. If you have to have more dry contact inputs. The Guide show you how to use pull up resistors.
  16. As far as I have seen. No release date given. No Beta only Alpha at present. I have had no big issues with a UDI Beta and would install one. I am Leary of an Alpha. Seeing some of the reported issues presently being addressed.
  17. It is not presently supported in released software. Same for the short lived Alert Modules. I have also been waiting since they where released as mine where early purchases. Have not tried the Alpha 5 yet. Though I do have a spare ISY994i and PLM I could play with.
  18. 2842-222 is the older Insteon Motion Sensor. I see your link is for an Amazon store seller. That price is high. The present 2844-222 Insteon Motion Sensor II is $39.99 but right now only the Motion On and Off is supported in the latest 4.6.2 released firmware. I understand 5.? will support all the options.
  19. There is a very long thread here. On the 2413S PLM being repaired and the typical symptoms. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/13866-repair-of-2413s-plm-when-the-power-supply-fails/
  20. Look at this wiki entry. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Tools_Menu On the PLM Link Tables section. If you look at the links information. Any one starting with a 02 or 22 is a deleted link. That I believe should be over written at some point. I believe if you do a restore modem on the PLM. The table is rewritten with all the deleted links not put back.
  21. Well new modules in development maybe possible. Usually no advanced notice. Except when a prerelease sale is in place. We also don't know completely. What Richmond Capital Partners is going to do with Smarthome and Smartlabs. I have seen some of the devices that look like slow sellers. Get discontinued and sold real cheap to clear them out.
  22. There is a thread here on substituting an external probe for the internal probe. So you can use it for remote readings but you then can't read the temperature at the 2441ZTH. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/9152-how-to-monitor-water-temp-via-isy-and-catch-more-fish/?hl=2441zth
  23. Same thing for the 2443 Access Points. The Range Extender replaced.
  24. May have been the Heartbeat they send at around a 24 hour interval.
  25. It is a firmware change UDI does remotely. Also adds a larger number of scenes the nodes you can have. Over the standard model. In addition to the Automatic writes On or Off. For both AC powered modules and Battery devices. Gave an incorrect choice. It is Purchase Modules not Manage Modules. To see what you have and what can be added. Manage Modules see if the installed ones are up to date.
