Looks like you have the valve control part correct. Move the Radio Shack relay NO connection to the GND connection next to the Sensor Input on the IO Linc. Leave the +12 volts supply where it is now. That way when the Radio Shack relay is turned On and Off by the valves Status Signal. It turns the IO Linc Sensor Input On and Off. Through the Radio Shack relays contacts.
-
Your diagram is incorrect. Connect the +12 volt power supply voltage to the IO Linc Relay Common. Connect the -12 volt power supply to the Black wire on the valve and relay coil. With the Red on the NC and White on NO the valve will be closed when the IO Linc is Off. When the relay in the IO Linc is switched. The +12 volt power on the IO Linc relay common terminal is switched between open and closed valve inputs. Indication of status. Wire the Green from the valve to one of the relay coils terminals. Wire the other relay coil terminal to the 12 volt common of the power supply. That is also connected to the Black Valve wire. Then use the dry relay contacts of the relay. Wired to the Sensor and Common Inputs.

The Dual Band 2413 Base PLM boards where the ones with the power supply issues. The older ones with the power line only 2412 Base PLM boards didn't have the same power supply issue but maybe old enough to have just failed. Due to age. The latest hardware {2.0 and above} 2413 PLM boards are supposed to have updated parts in the power supply area. If you are handy. The same capacitors we replaced in the 2413S PLM will also work in the base 2413 board in the EZflora. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/13866-repair-of-2413s-plm-when-the-power-supply-fails/

You may want to check the Relay Output Mode. It could be the relay is not set to momentary. If it is stays On it will be just like you where holding the button all the time. You also don't want it set to relay follows Sensor Input.

I have seen the older discontinued in the US 2442-222 HUB modified for PLM use. As it has a separate Network Board in it and a Serial Board can be wired in place of it. My thoughts are the firmware may also be changed. The older 2242-4?? International series HUBs. With the proper local countries RF frequencies are still being sold. I believe the modified ones where from an Australian vendor. The newer 2445-222 HUB has all the networking on the same PCB. Not too sure if can be fudged for PLM use.

The Network Module after purchase. Is yours for ever. The Portal Module 2 year subscription has the Network Module as part if it. I believe it goes away after 2 years if the subscription is not renewed. UDI's excellent support staff, can easily fix it as pointed out.
-
Did you purchase the Network Module or the ISY Portal two year subscription that has the network Module in it? http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page#ISY_Portal.2FAmazon_Echo.2FIFTTT

Have you tried the problem EZFlora in a different location as a test? If you do a Show Devices Links Table test and then use the compare tab. Do the links in the EZFlora and the ISY Links Table match?
-
Was it around 3:00 AM when the System Query is run? Do you have any IOLinc modules using the Sensor Reversed option in the ISY Administrative Console? What firmware revision are you running and is the UI the same version? You can use the Search function here to find others reporting basically the same problems and possible fixes..
-
You have determined it was the transformer is bad and not just disconnected on the EzFlora? No it does not have to be that brand. Smartenit sells a 24VAC 20VA transformer for the EZFlora. http://smartenit.com/product/24vac-20va-transformer/ You don't have to get it from them either. You need a transformer that is 24 VAC 20VA output.
-
The Dakota Alerts 2500 receiver has a four dry contact outputs. I have seen users trigger the I/O Linc Sensor Input with one of the relay outputs.
-
The transformer wires also look like they are close to the largest wire gauge the terminal strip can handle. So extra patience is needed to get it into the terminal and get a good solid grip that will not pull out again and no stray strands touching the next terminal over.. I second the tie wraps or wire straps to take the strain off of the wires and terminal clamps.
-
The 2477D or 2477S both still will need a Neutral power connection. Are you going to rewire so the switch box has Line and Neutral. Then link it to a InlineLinc or Micro Module in the fixture?
-
Sounds like you have a switch loop. You may want to look and see if there is a bundle of Neutral white wires in the back of the switch box. The two wire SwitchLinc that will only work with a incandescent or 120 volt halogen bulb is a 2474D. As it steals it power through the load and needs no Neutral to work.. The 2466 ToggleLinc and 2477D SwitchLinc need a Neutral power connection as pointed out. You need to run a Neutral into the switch box or rewire the wires to Line and Neutral to power the ToggleLinc or SwitchLinc . Cap off the load wire and install a micromodule or InlineLinc in the lights and link it to the ToggleLinc or SwitchLinc to control it.

Network Module is a firmware purchase. You can purchase it through Purchase Modules Tab in the Administrative Console. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-994i_Series_INSTEON:Networking It is part of the Portal purchase. So it can be either purchased alone or be part of the Portal if you decide to go that route.

I found with my new PLM making changes to original RemoteLincs didn't work if they where close enough to the PLM for RF access. I ended up making changes with the remote at the other end of the house. So it had to be accessed by a different Dual Band device through the power line to the PLM. You may want to try making updates with the remote in question far away from the PLM itself.

The first RF Insteon device was the 2442 Signlinc RF phase bridge and did not use the present RF frequency of 915 MHz. It was 904 MHz. There where no battery devices in the beginning of Insteon sales.
-
Here is the link to the UDI sales page. https://www.universal-devices.com/sales/ The Upgrade ISY994i are on the page as already pointed out.

I have had Amazon orders shipped from more than one warehouse. To possible have a few boxes. If they all came from the same shipping warehouse. What a plain waste of resources.

Smarthome use to tell users that more than one dimmer next to each other. Had to have their maximum load rating lowered by 200 watts. If separated by a relay type Insteon switch like the 2477S. The maximum load rating reduction was not needed. How hot the cover gets depends on what size or type loads you are dimming and maybe if the 2477S is between the two dimmer type modules. Smarthome did indicate a fairly high temperature value a fully loaded dimmer could reach in the past. So you maybe with in the normal expected temperature. Even though it maybe what you and I think of as too hot. I am an Electronic Technician and I do not like anything getting too hot.

2. When you replaced the PLM. The new PLM ID links are written into the Insteon modules in the system. Battery operated Insteon modules have to be woken up before they can be written to. Probably the motion sensor was never updated with the new PLM ID links. As it was in the battery saving state. Disabled in the Administrative Console should not have stopped the Motion Sensor from still sending motion detection signals and it didn't get the reply back from the new PLM. Flashing the LED error indication.
-
You need the Dashboard, from the link provide. It is a separate program from the Administrative Console. The settings are not in the Administrative Console only the Dashboard.
-
The settings are in the ISY Dashboard for the firmware version you have. Not the Administrative Console. The wrench Icon on the top right. Network settings.
