Another possibility is some of the options are not supported by the RemoteLinc model you have. I have a few modules where some Options are listed for it but not supported. When I try to use the option. Either nothing happens or I get a warning indicating the Option is not supported in the module in question.

If the power cycle reset or Restore Device don't fix the blinking and surging. The power spike that damaged the GFCI device may have also damaged the modules controlling the LED's.

Page 7 of this manual may give you added information. http://cache.insteon.com/documentation/2342-x22-en.pdf

I have the Pro version ISY994i and have automatic writes to battery devices turned off. You should have gotten a message telling you to hold the Bright and Dim buttons when you tried to do the write updates. I found a few times where the message is not shown if the Writes to Battery Devices is turned off. So if you have a Pro version and had Automatic Writes to Battery Devices Off. You may have missed that step.

One point. Battery operated Insteon Modules are in a power saving mode and their state of On or Off may not be found until they send a signal.

1) I have used your method of finding a six digit ID myself. On things like original 2440 RemoteLinc and Controllinc. That the Start Linking method does not work. I have also used the Start Linking method with other type modules and then it found the ID when added.

I just tried again and got the same results. Near the PLM. Far away it did add fine. One thing I did see. If you have the Pro version. If the Automatic Writes to battery devices is disabled. Some of the hold bright and dim buttons messages did not appear. I had mine off and it added it to the Administrative Console but has write pending Icons next to all the buttons.

Bright and Dim Buttons as pointed out. One thing we have seen here. The older 2440 RemoteLinc does not add into the Administrative Console with the latest version of the 2413S PLM. If it is near enough to the PLM to be using Insteon RF commands. Try moving the Remotelinc as far away from the PLM as possible. Allowing a different Dual Band Module to handle the Insteon RF and pass it on by power line to the PLM. I had to go to the other end of my home and use a Range Extender in my case to process the adding a 2440 it to the Administrative Console.

Is this the original 2440 RemoteLinc or the one of the latest RemoteLinc2 models? If it is a any model RemoteLinc2. Try holding the SET button until it beeps. Then add it to your ISY setup. When added. All the buttons will show up as nodes. Then you can make individual scenes from within the Administrative Console. It does sound like you are trying to follow the linking information in the manuals. As Teken thought. Manual linking information is not used when an ISY interface is being used.

Strange things happen when the PLM is dead or on its way out. Sometimes power cycling it may make it work for a short additional time. Another symptom of PLM failure is its Link Database is almost completely empty. There is a 13 page thread here on the PLM failures and how some of us have repaired them.. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/13866-repair-of-2413s-plm-when-the-power-supply-fails/

Is a common issue with the 2440 RemoteLinc and the latest 2413S PLM's. Try getting it as far away from the PLM as possible. So it has to go through a different Dual Band Module and can't use RF directly to the PLM. That is how I had to do mine. At the other end of the house. So the PLM was using a power line signal to the far away Dual Band Module and it did the RF communications to the 2440 in the linking mode.

I did not see the 2475DA2 (Insteon Category 01, Sub Category 25) 10V Ballast Dimmer in the drop down list of modules in (RC2) 4.5.3 Firmware. I don't use the 5.0.? Alpha firmware so it may or may not be in it. From the FCC Database The module has the small RF Daughter Board in it. With the pig tail antenna. If the module is mounted inside a metal fixture. I doubt Insteon RF would reach it reliably.

You are still going to need a PLM. As it will be needed to send the Insteon RF commands along with Insteon power line commands. Maybe a small 277 volt to 120 volt step down transformer can power it. Even if the transformer doesn't pass the power line signals correctly.

Did you wake them up before trying the restore? One thing we have found out. The 2413S PLM may not restore the old 2440 RemoteLinc if it is close to it. Move the 2440 Remotelinc as far away from the 2413S as you can. So another Dual Band device is processing the RF to and from the 2440 RemoteLinc and is sending the commands over the power lines to the 2413S. I had to move mine to the other end of the house. Where an Access Point handled the RF to and from the 2440 RemoteLinc. Mine failed completely when next to the 2413S PLM.

Are you trying to use the Administrative Console or the Dashboard. Both are available for the firmware you downloaded. The Administrative Console is where you do what you want to do. Did you clear the Java Cache after the update?

When you Query Insteon Engine it writes one byte to the module to get is Engine version back. Could be I1,I2 or I2CS. If you have any I1 modules you will see many peek and poke messages as they do not do Extended Insteon Messaging. My query of an I2CS module.

I too had a PLM with the LED on and not be working. It was not full brightness. That I mainly noticed after changing the capacitors and seeing it brighter.

Have you tried. Powering down both the ISY controller and PLM. Wait maybe 30 seconds. Power the PLM back up and let it initialize. Them power the ISY controller back up.

A 2413S serial PLM is needed. The ISY994i connects directly from its serial port to the serial port on the PLM.

Nice modification. Thank you for sharing.

They may have been scrambled by the power glitch. If it happens again. You may want to try a power cycle to do a power up restart. Pulling out the Air Gap Switch and waiting maybe fifteen seconds then pushing the Air Gap Switch back to its normal position not all the way in to do a Factory Reset. Will do a power up reset.

I would use caution with a 5 volt 200mah USB charger you referred to. 200mah sounds like a charging rate and the voltage will go up and down to maintain the 200mah charge rate. The 5 volt 200mA rating is most important with unregulated power supplies. If the load was less than 200mA the 5 volts would be high and if the load was greater than 200mA the 5 volts would be low. A fully regulated 5 volt wall wart rated at 200mA or greater would probably work fine. I use a 2.4 amp wall wart for my Raspberry Pi3 and it is not loaded close to 2.4 amps but the output is still correct.

Anyone here using Insteon long enough. To remember the 2454D SocketLinc Dimmer V2? Looked like an over sized X10 LM15A Socket Rocket. Only Insteon. It always powered up to 100% ON after a power loss and restoration.

The 5 volt logic supply is a small linear regulator. Feed by the unregulated 12 volts that is normally around 20 volts DC. When the caps where bad. I have seen the 12 volt supply go as low as 6 volts {I did not scope it for noise} and the regulator drop out.

You may want to wait for an official reply for a ISY994i. The ISY99i information says 5V to 30V DC. 300 mA. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Quick_Start_Guide#Requirements The current rating was updated to 1 amp as the added boards like Z-Wave or ZigBee needed to be taken into account. The one in my ISY994i kit was 5V, 1 Amp. 5.5mm X 2.1mm, center +, DC connector.
