Samsung is bringing an Echo-compatible vacuum to CES
Brian H replied to kohai's topic in Amazon Echo
I thought some model washers from Samsung where flying apart. During the spin cycle. Due to the way the tub was mounted on springs hanging from an open slot. -
The older 2242-222 HUB normally had a network board in it. Mine has a shielded network board in it. I understand some of them had the network board replaced with a PLM Serial Board. For some testing. I have a internal photo of one of the converted ones. I believe there are also some overseas vendors doing the modification to the original HUB. For use as a PLM on other countries power standards. The newer 2245-222 has a completely different PCB. All functions on one square PCB.
-
I did see a 2245-222 HUB failure. On a less than two year old module. Posted today on the Smarthome Forums.
-
After I posted the link. I had a feeling it may have been a setup. As dad jumped in awfully quickly.

Is the thermostat battery operated? You maybe able to connect the W and R/RC terminals to the IOLinc Sensor and Ground connections. This would require the old control voltages are no longer on the thermostat.
-
That is a strange one. The manual indicates both the battery and external supply can be connected at the same time. What voltage was the external supply?

Alexia also sometimes makes a poor choice. I found this about a child asking to "play Digger Digger" and getting porn results. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/amazon-alexa-gets-childs-request-really-wrong-offers-up-porn-2016-12-30

Anything new electronically recently in the home. Existing electronic devices moved? That may have effected your power line communications? If you have your PLM on the same power as your computing equipment, on an UPS, filtered surge strip. That can effect the Insteon power line communications.

I am not going to try a 5.x Alpha version yet. I have had no issues with the Beta releases. I just feel Alpha is too new for a try out yet. I tried both an Alert Module and Siren Module with a few devices. Both will NOT link to the original 2440 Remotelinc. Both will link to a 2342-232 Mini Remote, a KPL dimmer in a tabletop case and a 2421 TriggerLinc. I am using the Mini Remote to test them. I have one powered up for some burn in time and then I will rotate a different one if for awhile so it also gets some burn in time. One button set arms and disarms it. One On button triggers the Chime. One On button triggers the Siren. I also tested the not well documented controller function in the Siren Module. If you link it to a Lamplinc, Dual Band Lamplinc, Appliancelinc or On/Off module. As a controller. When the Siren is sounding it will flash the module linked to it as a controller. The Alert Module is also supposed to have a controller function. I have not tested it thoroughly.

UDI has stated in a few threads. Both the now discontinued Alert Module and the new replacement Siren Module. Will not be added to any 4.x versions. Not wanting to possibly add issues to a stable base 4.x. Both will be in a 5.x version. I too am anxious to get the Alert Module and Siren Modules into my ISY994i setup. Due to Smartlabs dragging their feet for many months, on getting UDI the needed API for the Alert Module. I personally put the problem on them not UDI. I do understand UDI not wanting to mess up a 4.x release. My Alert Module is over one year old and still can only be used with manual links. The ISY994i doesn't see.
-
Leaving the Automatic Writes to battery devices off and then manually doing each one. Is what is recommended and used by most here.
-
Is the LED on the side of the 2413S PLM On? In the Tools Diagnostics Tab: PLM Info/Status does it show connected or in safe mode? How many links does the Show PLM Links Table Show? The PLM seems to be the weak spot in an ISY setup and it is possible it is failing.
-
I understand Phil retired, when the ACT line was discontinued. I have read what was left was dumped on EBay.
-
Yes the utility needs its own interface. A separate PLM is one of the interfaces it can use. Not 100% sure but I believe some have powered down their ISY994i and used its PLM for the utility.
-
Some new factory fresh Insteon modules. Have been known to ship with test links in them. Most users now automatically do a Factory Reset on all new modules. The EZIO8SA has to be on its own PLM. You can't access it if there is no PLM connected to it when running the utility program or from the Administrative Console.
-
Have you tried a complete Factory Reset? That would clear out any left over X10 codes if any existed.
-
Go to the 4.5.4 firmware page. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/19961-release-454-is-now-official/ Follow the instructions to update the UI. Also install the Dashboard. The TSL settings are done through the ISY Dashboard not the ISY Administrative Console. The small wrench icon on the top right, of the Dashboard. Network Settings choice.

ACT stopped making all of their X10/A10 devices awhile back. I understand they sold off all the stock on Ebay. JV Digital Engineering makes a 10 and 15 amp plug in filter. I know their stuff is made with quality parts and not pushed to near maximum component ratings. http://jvde.us/xtb-f10.htm I found a question I had asked Jeff on his forums. He indicated that the filters have a wide enough bandwidth to also be effective on the Insteon 131.65KHz power line frequency http://jvde.us/forum/index.php?topic=46.0

I am using Light Dims on my ISY994i and like it.
-
The installation information for the Z-Wave board. Shows four screws and how to remove the case. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Z-Wave:_Ordering/Assembly_Instructions
-
The modules will not transfer. Contacting UDI with the original ISY994i ir's uuid: and the uuid: from the replacement. They can transfer the modules from the original to the replacement.
-
Near the bottom of the UDI Sales page are the upgrades. https://www.universal-devices.com/sales/
-
microUSB connector? The ISY994i uses a standard coaxial type DC connector.
-
I have seen posts. They do have information but it will not be added until a version of 5 is released.

No. Both the 2867-222 Alert Module and 2868-222 Siren Module are not supported at the present time. I understand the Alert Module will be in the 5.? Firmware. I would think the Siren Module would also be in the 5.0? I did try adding my Siren Module with the Start Linking method. I got the "Failed To Add Device Reason 1" as expected. I believe the Aeon Gen5 siren is Z-Wave so you would have to have a Z-Wave option ISY Interface.
