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.

How old is the PLM? The 2413S PLM has a reputation to have a failed power supply. Usually over the two year old service time. Post the results from the tests Michel linked to.

You maybe thinking of the 2440 or 2440BK Original RemoteLinc. It has an All On and All Off button. They only worked with Insteon Modules linked to one of its buttons. Modules not linked to a button. Did not respond.

One thing to remember. The 2412S could power the ISY994i. The 2413S can not power it. If you have the wall wart from the ISY994i package. It will be fine. If not, you will need a power supply. The 2413S has a faster processor clock and memory. So you may also see improved performance.

In away that could be better. I have seen reports here that the Motion Sensor II is not supported in V 4.6.2. Though some have added them as the old model and got some basic functions. Without the new features it has.

Are you using the Insteon 28422-222 Motion Sensor II?

I was able to add mine using the special drop down choice in the Link management tab. Though it looked like what Michel indicated. Could not properly see any IR Links in it. Mine is a V1.A, 1444 reported .4A firmware. I have never seen Smarthome or developer Smartlabs have an official method to get firmware updated. They said we do not update firmware or provide the source code to do it yourself. With the 5 pin programming connector on the main board and a programmer. UDI may have a better idea. My feelings are maybe contract Customer Service.

You can't. The 2380 is the 600 Watt. Two Way X10 Switchlinc. No Insteon features in it. If you are interested. Here is the 2380 Manual link. http://cache-m2.smarthome.com/manuals/2380_web.pdf

IMHO. It is a cover where you sit down statement. That way if you used a dimmable LED and it didn't work correctly. They can say incandescent only you didn't follow instructions. As you have seen. Many of then are fine with an Insteon dimmer.

You said you updated to a ISY994i. Didn't it come with a wall wart as part of the standard package?

The 2412S PLM provides power to the ISY Controller. The 2413S does not provide power. So be sure you get a wall wart supply also. If you didn't have a optional wall wart supply. With the 2412S. The long capacitor fix thread here will not work on a 2412S. Completely different power supply design. 2412S has a linear power transformer design. The 2413S has a switching power supply. I can look up the capacitor data for the 2412S if you want it. The 2413S is Dual Band as pointed out. It also has a faster processor and memory. So it may give you added performance.

Yesterday I tried the standard drop down Add Module method and it failed. Today I used the Special Choice method in the Link Management drop down list and it did add properly. I did notice yesterday the Add Module way tried I2CS messaging. As the module did report it was a I2CS type. Though it failed. This morning with the special module method. It did add correctly but Event Viewer in level 3. Showed I2CS module found but reverted to I2 messaging. The firmware found was v.4A Although I was able to add 2 test nodes. The Device Link Table tests showed a mismatch with what the ISY994i indicated it should have. Complicated procedure to do. So I don't know if I missed something or the firmware was the issue.

Thanks for the update. Insteon times its communications to the AC Zero Crossing. I vaguely remember. The frequency had to be very close to 60 cycles for it to work correctly. The newer 50/60 cycle models I have no data on.

I have seen Date Code format changing between early and later modules. I have a failed V1.5 1122. Now repaired as a spare. Yours is 30th week of 2011. Mine is 22nd week of 2011. I have also seen a production code sticker on some. That confuses even more.

You will probably also see a hardware revision number on a white sticker. Like my latest is V2.3. The one Smarthome says fixed a problem they found. Thread on how to repair. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/13866-repair-of-2413s-plm-when-the-power-supply-fails/

How old is the 2413S? As pointed out they are known to have a failed power supply. After two years and a few months. One clue would be Link Database in the PLM empty or have few entries. Restore fixes for awhile. Not responding but a power cycle fixes it for awhile is another. As is a dim or out LED on the side. There is a thread here on the PLM issues. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/13866-repair-of-2413s-plm-when-the-power-supply-fails/

There is a small chance. That the inductive spike when it goes off. May effect the I/OLinc operation.

There are a few threads here on the Synchrolinc. I used the advanced search to find some. This one seems to shed some light on it. There are others. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/15797-synchrolinc-timers/?hl=synchrolinc

If the new UPS is on the same circuit as the PLM. Its AC power line conditioner and filter. Maybe absorbing the PLMs power line signals and effecting communications. I have my APC UPS on a FilterLinc with the PLM in the front unfiltered pass through outlet on the front cover.

Michel, Thanks for the information. Though that is kind of scary. Now that they seen to be having a clearance sale on them. $89.99 module now $9.99. Normal sales page not a recertified module. I wounder how they feel on taking the time to flash the module with the correct firmware for an ISY994i to use.

If it is a older hardware revision 2476S SwitchLinc. It may not have the Air Gap Switch like the 2476D and have a completely different method of a Factory Reset. My old V2.1 hardware 2476S and old hardware V1.0 2876S Icon switches do not. The manual I found on line was V6.0+ and it did show an Air Gap Switch. So it will depend on hardware version. Let us know if you need the older users manual. As I don't believe it is too easily found. You may not have to do a Factory Reset. There is a method in the manual to remove an X10 address for the older hardware. Using the Set Button, top paddle and an X10 command on the power lines. Does require the X10 address be known and an X10 controller to send it three times with an Off command. If you do the Factory Reset. The X10 address will not be added back when restore the device through your ISY controller.

I see on the Smarthome site. The 2411T is now $9.99 down from $89.99! In big red letters. Not compatible with an Insteon HUB. Maybe they are trying to DUMP them or someone updated them with a defective firmware.

It is self powered. The current though the load being sensed. By the wire passed through the CT800 core. Induces a voltage into the sensor and it closes the output terminals.

I thought FS used a special ISY format. Not too sure if you can even read it on Linux.
