The 2413S PLM has a bad reputation of failing shortly after two years of use. The LED out is one indication the power supply has failed. Another common indication is it lost the contents in its Link Database. If you power it off and wait for awhile and it again temporarily works when powered up. Another indication it has failed. You may want to look at this very long thread on this failure and repairs if you are handy electronically. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/13866-repair-of-2413s-plm-when-the-power-supply-fails/ The latest hardware versions are supposed to have the power supply problems addressed. Only a long term use will actually determine if it was corrected.

I am glad it is back to working. May have had a Link Database problem.

If you are talking about a Insteon Module that is plugged into an outlet. The model of the module would help. Some of the new models can also act as a controller and show up in Red in the Administrative Console. My 2635-222 On/Off modules can also be linked as a controller to other modules. When their local On or Off buttons are used. So they are shown in Red in the Administrative Console. Even not being ever linked to anything as a Controller in my setup. The 2457D2 Lamp Module can also be a controller. So will be showing as a Red entry.

When you hold the button. Does the Admin Console show the changes? In tools. You may want to show the device link tables for the RL2440 {remember to wake it up} and then use the compare to see if they match what they should be.

Thank you very much for the tutorial. The tutorial will be a very big help to many users.

Your EZRain is built on a 2412S PLM Base Unit with their custom daughter board. Replacing the normal serial daughter board. When first booted up. The daughter board is supposed to set the PLM to identify as the EZRains Category and Sub Category. From the normal PLM's Category and Sub Category. It appears yours is reporting it is a 2412S PLM and not an EZRain. You may want to try a factory reset and see if the daughter board will again set the base PLM to identify as an EZRain. Unplug for at least ten seconds. Then while holding the Set Button plug it back in and hold the set button for at least ten seconds before releasing it. That will also wipe clean any settings you have in it. My thoughts are it has a hardware failure as it is built on the older 2412S PLM Base Unit. That was discontinued years ago.

A few module may only be Factory Reset. Through the set button flow chart in the full users manuals.

Be extremely careful by doing this. Using a dimmer on a wall wart that is not specified for use with a dimmer. Is not safe to do. It can result in poor performance or a short life of the wall wart and possibly the dimmer. Possible release of smoke and flames after being On for a period of time. Makes power line noise when On and stops any Off commands from working. Until you are very confident the setup will work. Observe it for strange noises, electronic smells and overheating of the wall wart. I have seen users report melted or short lives with wall warts. When on a dimmer even ones where they where always set to 100% On. A different combination of parts. Like an OutletLinc Dimmer in place of the LampLinc. A smaller wall wart for the one you are using now. Could get you a completely different way the setup works. Than what you tested with.

Thank you for the tip. Until now I did not known the ~ thing.

I don't believe you can hide it. As it is part of the modules features. Are you only using the fan output on the FanLinc and don't want the lamp output showing in the Administrative Console?

The Reverse Trigger was originally not needed. That was when the Garage Door Kit had a better magnetic switch in it. With both a Normally Open and Normally Closed set of contacts. Smarthome replaced it with a cheaper switch.

I don't know why the admin console will not launch. I believe the accessing programs is locked out in the safe mode. So changes you made didn't get into the PLM's Link Database. When you change the PLM. Make sure you follow the procedure. So the replacement PLM's ID is found.

The 2413S PLM has a long history of dying shortly after 2 years old. You may want to look at the LED on the PLM and see if it is On. Running for a few days after a power cycle on the PLM is an indication it is going bad. In the tools tab, diagnostics, PLM Info/Status see if it shows connected or in safe mode. You may also want to look at the PLM Link table. If almost empty another indication the PLM is on it way out. Long thread but you may get additional information on determining if the PLM is the problem. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/13866-repair-of-2413s-plm-when-the-power-supply-fails/

No they indicate the light level on the Output. Side note. The relay On/Off modules only have the top On LED and the Bottom Off LED. The remaining LED positions are not populated.

Help Tab About choice.

They also make a dimmer version of the Micro Modules. That can be triggered by a mechanical switch if needed. Not sure if it can do what you want. http://www.smarthome.com/insteon-2442-222-micro-dimmer-module.html One point on the HUB. It can't do conditional programming like you can with an ISY994i.

Glad you got it working. It sounds like the I/OLinc had some stray settings in it and the factory reset set it all back to default.

I must admit. The way the latest constant email sales made me think of X10. Maybe one of the X10WTI crew is now working for Smarthome Sales.

The Memory and Error LEDs flashing. Indicate the ISY in unable to communicate with the Ethernet Network. You may have to do some troubleshooting of your network. Are you using a static IP address or DHCP? Any unusual indications on your router or Ethernet Gateway?

Thank you for straightening out the details. I was off track on some of what I thought was happening.

Got an email this morning. It is also showing on the main Smarthome web page. The Fourth of July sales have started. $15 on a $100 purchase. $50 on a $250 purchase. $125 on any purchase >$500.

I missed the Trigger Reversed not being checked. So my comments on it maybe the issue are not relevant. I did see it was set from the default to Momentary A, 24 seconds hold time and relay follows input. So some options where changed. Even though the relay is not in use. Maybe if the actual program was posted. Someone may see a condition that gets modified when a Query is done. Causing the problem. Now that you jogged my memory. I also remember I/OLincs options not always updating until being refreshed.

I suspect the 3:00 AM Query was disabled. Band aid fix. Was used. Instead of rewriting the program so the reversed sensor option was not used.

If I read the original post. The thermostat is strictly connected to the Sensor and Ground terminals of the I/OLinc. Through its RC/RH and W terminals. Using its mechanical temperature controlled contacts to turn the Sensor Input On and Off. I did not see any reference to 24 volts AC but if there is any external voltage getting into the I/OLinc's Sensor Input. It could be damaged. It has some input protection but probably not able to safely handle 24 volts AC. I also believe the user just disabled the 3:00 AM Query and called it fixed. If the relay output is following the Sensor State it had to be set that way as default in follow sensor input is disabled. Even if not being used. It still had to have been set that way.

The email I got yesterday. Was additional 50% off of bargain bin items.
