Does iolinc have a fuse?
There is a small chance. That the inductive spike when it goes off. May effect the I/OLinc operation.

What are these customized "Options" for the synchrolinc?
There are a few threads here on the Synchrolinc. I used the advanced search to find some. This one seems to shed some light on it. There are others. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/15797-synchrolinc-timers/?hl=synchrolinc

What would cause this issue all of a sudden
If the new UPS is on the same circuit as the PLM. Its AC power line conditioner and filter. Maybe absorbing the PLMs power line signals and effecting communications. I have my APC UPS on a FilterLinc with the PLM in the front unfiltered pass through outlet on the front cover.

Insteon IRLinc Transmitter 2411T V1.A 1444 0570
Michel, Thanks for the information. Though that is kind of scary. Now that they seen to be having a clearance sale on them. $89.99 module now $9.99. Normal sales page not a recertified module. I wounder how they feel on taking the time to flash the module with the correct firmware for an ISY994i to use.

Disabling X10 module
If it is a older hardware revision 2476S SwitchLinc. It may not have the Air Gap Switch like the 2476D and have a completely different method of a Factory Reset. My old V2.1 hardware 2476S and old hardware V1.0 2876S Icon switches do not. The manual I found on line was V6.0+ and it did show an Air Gap Switch. So it will depend on hardware version. Let us know if you need the older users manual. As I don't believe it is too easily found. You may not have to do a Factory Reset. There is a method in the manual to remove an X10 address for the older hardware. Using the Set Button, top paddle and an X10 command on the power lines. Does require the X10 address be known and an X10 controller to send it three times with an Off command. If you do the Factory Reset. The X10 address will not be added back when restore the device through your ISY controller.

Insteon IRLinc Transmitter 2411T V1.A 1444 0570
I see on the Smarthome site. The 2411T is now $9.99 down from $89.99! In big red letters. Not compatible with an Insteon HUB. Maybe they are trying to DUMP them or someone updated them with a defective firmware.

How could I monitor how much my sump pump is running?
It is self powered. The current though the load being sensed. By the wire passed through the CT800 core. Induces a voltage into the sensor and it closes the output terminals.

Formatting Micro SD Card Process - No Goodbye?!?
I thought FS used a special ISY format. Not too sure if you can even read it on Linux.

Formatting Micro SD Card Process - No Goodbye?!?
Have not done this in a long while. Maybe all the way back to my ISY99i. I too have never seen the "Goodbye"

Disabling X10 module
The older Insteon modules could have an X10 Primary and Secondary address programmed in to them. My older 2476S Insteon switches with an X10 Primary Address also send an X10 On or Off when locally activated by the paddle and respond to my old HR12A Palmpad remotes. My old 2456S3 Appliancelincs also have an X10 Primary Address in them. The removal of the A10/X10 module would not correct your problem. As mentioned UDI can remove it if you want to. I also think one or more of you Insteon switches have an X10 address in them. The factory reset and restore. Will remove any X10 addresses. I have to add them back manually after a Factory Reset-Restore.

Insteon Remote Wireless thermostat and support within ISY994i
Unless something was changed recently. No it can't. It only displays the remote probe temperature on its own display and does not send it to the ISY994i. There is a long thread here. Where the internal sensor was disconnected and the remote sensor was connected. Then the remote probe data was sent to the ISY994i. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/9152-how-to-monitor-water-temp-via-isy-and-catch-more-fish/?hl=2441zth

Repair of 2413S PLM When the Power Supply Fails
I am now also seeing HUBs going South. I believe at two years and a few months. Since it has the same small switching power supply chip and same brand capacitors as a 2413S. I was not surprised. What gets me is. If some penny bean counter has allowed a slightly more costly quality capacitor. Their two year warranty cost savings. Would easily covered the small BOM price increase.
-
Repair of 2413S PLM When the Power Supply Fails
In the 2413S Review Section. They claim that a problem component was found and corrected in V2.3. I have not had mine in use to see if the two year failures will be happening. I know the RS232 chip on the serial daughter board was updated and the caps where a higher voltage rated.

ISY994i & 2457D2
Try the 2457D2 in a different location and see if there is an issue where it was installed. You can also open the Event Viewer in Level 3. And see if it is responding or not. When you try and add it.

Switchlinc settings update triggers non-insteon Fan Switch
The two wire is RF only. Since it gets its power through the load. It is strictly for incandescent or 120 volt power saving halogen incandescent replacements.
-
PLM as primary power source
The 2413S PLM does not supply power to any model ISY994i or the older ISY99i. You need an external power supply. The older 2412S PLM did supply power to an ISY controller. It had a slower processor and memory. Was also Power Line only not Dual Band.

Switchlinc settings update triggers non-insteon Fan Switch
If the 2477D is not controlling to the humidity fan controller. It is possible the Insteon Power Line commands are triggering it. When you send the level changes to the 2477D. I have seen posts where the Insteon Power Line commands are effecting things like lights on manual dimmers that are not Insteon.

relay duration control
Beep Duration is for the time period an internal modules beeper sounds. If the ISY994i does not show a setting for the EZI04O relay duration. You will have to set it up with the Smartenit Utility Suite linked to in the thread. It needs a Insteon Interface to the power lines to work. Like a PLM {2412S/U or 2413S/U} or older PLC {2414S/U,2814U}. The PLC also need the SDM308 Smarthome Device Manager installed. I have seen things here where the ISY994i's PLM can be used. As it should alter the PLM Link Database. Remember to power down the ISY994i and PLM. Then connect the PLM to the serial port and run the Smartenit Utility Suite. When powering the ISY994i back up. Power the PLM first and allow it to initialize. Then the ISY994i so it can find the PLM during initialization. It will need a Serial Port connection. If you don't have a Serial Port I understand many of the USB to serial adapters will work. The needed Serial Cable is packed in the 2413S or 2412S shipping box.

Mini Remote Linking
Well you have to wake them up from their power saving mode. Part of the process is manually activating the Link Push Button.

Keypadlinc behaving weird
If the Factory reset didn't cure the strangeness. Another possibility is you got a bad one. This was a new module not one from the recertified list? I have gotten bad ones from the recertified sales. One of the supposed 100% checked On-Off modules. Rattled and the insides where missing all the mounting screws and insulators.
-
ISY on a UPS
If the PLM is on the UPS. Its power line conditioning will probably kill the Insteon power line signals as noise. Others have had a few Dual Band devices close enough. So the Insteon RF commands from the PLM work fine.
-
Open/Close Sensor Status after Power Outage
Normal as pointed out. Since battery operated devices go in to a power saving mode and will no respond to a Query. Even if you have Query modules at restart enabled in the ISY Administrative console. It will be blank until it sends a On Off or I believe it also has a heartbeat.

Garage Door opens at least once a day
The recommendation to disconnect the I/O Linc for a few days and see if the problem continues. Would help in seeing if it is a Insteon issue.

Garage Door opens at least once a day
What hardware revision is your 2450 I/OLinc? I did some snooping in a few revisions. The original 1.0 has a very wimpy power supply. 1.8 was better and 2.3 was beefier. So if yours is an older one it maybe failing hardware wise. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/21417-io-linc-hardware-differences-between-revisions/
