It has served you well. Probably much longer than the slightly over two years old most fail at. If you decide to try and rebuild the module as a spare. The V1.0 hardware was different. There was some rework on the main board to add the second capacitor and coil. They are hanging above the main board and not soldered directly to it. Somewhere in the large PLM repair thread here. Is a photo of the V1.0 layout. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/13866-repair-of-2413s-plm-when-the-power-supply-fails/

While the Open/Closed Sensor. Needs no AC wiring to use it. Like mounted on a door to detect when it was opened. Both modules have advantages depending on where used and what you want to do with it.

I had the same issue. When I replaced some 2456S3 AppliaanceLincs with the 2635-222 On/Off Module. As Teken pointed out. They are not a same module type so the replace with will not offer it as a replacement.

Did you follow the instruction on how to replace the PLM? http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/19331-my-plm-died-and-i-bought-a-new-one-what-should-i-do-next/ Have there been any changes in the home? Like a new electronic device or moved an existing electronic device. Is the PLM on the same electrical circuit as the computing equipment? If it is are you using a filter to isolate the computing equipment from the PLM?

Depending on the hardware revision of the 2412S. It may have the small Link Database size of 417 links the later ones where >2000 links but more than 800 would slow it down too much.

Pop and LED off. Has failed completely. You need a new one or rebuild the old one. Make sure you follow the proper replacement thread in an earlier post in this thread.

I would also say PLM is failing. Long thread on how it fails and how some of us have repaired ours. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/13866-repair-of-2413s-plm-when-the-power-supply-fails/

I have seen the same grey updates needed when I have automatic updates to battery devices is disabled in my Pro version. I keep mine off but lately temporarily enable it when doing anything with a battery operated Insteon Module. You can hold the set button on the RL2 until the LED flashes. Then click on the A button entry and pick update.

Do you have the DCR-2500 to receive the BBT-250 Motion Sensor information? It has four relay outputs that can be used to trigger a 2450 I/O Linc's Sensor Input. That can be used in your ISY system.

There have been a few threads here on the 2342-232 4 Scene Remotes being a problem when adding them. No it should not be so difficult to add one. Mine added with no issues. Similar to the problems with the 2440 old RemoteLinc in this thread is covering. You may find some added information in the other threads with the same issues. Here is one of them http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/21093-cannot-determine-insteon-engine-for-mini-remote/ Thank you for providing the information printed on the white sticker on the back of the remote. Now that you got it added. What firmware version for the remote is showing in My Lighting? Does the six digit Insteon ID reported in My Lighting match the six digit ID printed on the back of the remote?

Any hardware revision 1; 2413S PLM. Over two years old have a reputation of power supply failing. Do a PLM Info/Status. Should show the PLM six digit ID, firmware version and connected. A Show PLM Links Table should show the links in the PLM. If it is very low. The PLM is on its way out. Working for a short time after a power cycle. Is also a sign of a failing PLM. If you are interested. There is a very long thread here on the 2413S PLM failures and repairs. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/13866-repair-of-2413s-plm-when-the-power-supply-fails/

A test to see if the 2342-232 is not working at all or only with the ISY994i series controller. Trying to manually link it to an Insteon Module. If it links then it is not completely dead. If linked to a module in the Administrative Console and then doing a Show Device Links Table of the module manually linked to. You should see a record mismatch and the 2342-232's six digit ID. Remote chance the ID printed on the back label is incorrect. That would leave an unwanted link in the module you tested with. I believe a Restore Devise would remove it.

If you did the PLM link database count and there was any action on the power lines. The count maybe off. Do you get the same 1,640 every time you do a PLM database count? Are you using a 2413S PLM or the older 2412S PLM? The 2413S has a link database of 1023 entries. 1,640 would be overwriting some of the links. The later revision 2412S PLM has a link database of >2000 but anything over 800-900 would start causing issues. I have seen reports of Restore Modem (PLM) removing links for removed devices to lower the count.

It has been awhile since I had found the Lutron Technical paper. It was a heavy duty coil and not a filter. Glad you did find the correct information.

Universal Module sounds like an X10 description. With a pulsed dry contact output. Insteon I/O Linc Module maybe what was being thought of.

Lutron actually makes a filter kit to prevent power line signals from flickering their loads. It wires into the Line input if memory serves me.

If you have the Plus version. Make sure the automatic writes to RF devices is enabled. Should not make a difference but I always turned it On to add remotes if it was normally Off. There is another thread here on a similar issue you are having. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/21093-cannot-determine-insteon-engine-for-mini-remote/ Opening the Event Viewer on Level 3 and then trying to add it. Should show the messages between the PLM and the Mini Remote. Using the drop down list for RemoteLinc2 modules: Tried one of my 2342-232 4 Scene modules and it was not adding to my setup. With the Can't Determine Engine. Messages showed no responses from the Mini Remote. In my case I had misread the six digit Insteon Address due to a slightly worn label on it. With the correct address it did work. Double checking the address label could not hurt. The Start Linking method it did not work.

I also have the Light Dims on my ISY994iPro's Power LED. I also dimmed the Off LED in an old 2476S SwitchLinc by working one into the frame without dimming the whole set.

If you have not downloaded the the ISY994i Users Manual. It has lots of good information in it. http://www.universal-devices.com/docs/production/ISY%20User%20Guide%204.2.8.pdf The UDI Wiki also has many good tips and information in it. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page

It was brand new, 2 year warranty, factory fresh box.

I was going to do an informal test. With one of the two new 2843-222 Open Closed Sensors Rev 1.B Date Code: 3815. I just received. Big surprise. One of the two is DOA right out of the box.

Only thing to consider with the bare wires. How conductive the water being detected is and how sensitive the external contact input on the open-closed sensor is. At one time. There was an Insteon water detector kit using an I/O Linc and a Flood Stop water detector system sensor pad accessory. Connected to the Sensor Input and Ground of the I/O Linc. It was highly unreliable and quietly went away. Seems it was sensitive to how conductive the water was contacting the sensor was.

The Insteon and x10 Motion Sensors uses an IR Detector. Motion is sensed by a temperature change in a set time period. Some of the false trigger causes have been pointed out in the thread. The FCC Database information for the 2844-222 Insteon Motion Sensor II also shows an IR detector in its internal photos.

You don't by chance. Have the Local Button Ramp rate set to something like 8 minutes? The Off button may not look iike it is working if it is ramping so slow.

The latest model toys can be fun. Though I have purchased the early new Insteon Model production run modules and they had some quirks that where not expected. Even though I suspect they where tested thoroughly by some Hardware Beta Testers.
