Some of my 2476S SwitchLincs and 2876S Icons had the intermittent Tact Switch issues. Push the local paddle. Hear the tact switch click. No action on the load. Smarthome said we didn't know how to use them correctly or wired them incorrectly. Finally gave us a seven year warranty on the known hardware versions with the problem. Mine are also old enough [Hardware 2.1 firmware v.28] to not have an Air Gap Switch. Pull the set button out and it breaks off. There is a completely different Factory Reset Sequence. Mine do remember their state of On or Off at power loss. I have an original 2456D LampLinc from a early developers group kit. Firmware .20. It does not respond to an All On or All Off command. Yes the same feature they are again removing. The 2456S3 ApplainceLinc and 2856S Icon On/Off had the remember feature. Then two firmware version always Off. Then again remember state. I have found the list helpful but also have not seen much added information lately.

Glad the resistor helped.

If you are still with in the two year warranty. They should replace it. The latest hardware is supposed to have the updated power supply parts. There is a thread here on rebuilding them. If you are handy.

The relay can be set to follow the sensor input. Have you tried a Factory Reset? Will not correct the LED not lighting as it is on the Sensor terminal with a current limiting resistor but the the input to the controller chip may still work. Though the controllers pins have an internal set of diodes to protect the input. If one of those got shorted. The input will not work. You can still use the relays NC and NO functions.

All the original Insteon Devices remembered their state at power loss. So if it is On it would go back On. If it was Off it stayed Off. Well except the SocketLinc Dimmer that always powered up at 100%. Even if it was Off. Some of the 2456S3 and 2856S models. Do always stay Off even if On at power loss. Earlier and later revisions still remember their state at power loss.

This is the first report I have seen on the Sensor not working. Since you have a multimeter. There should be +5 volts on the Sensor S terminal to the GND terminal. The voltage is through the LED and some pull up resistors. The Sensor Input is designed for a dry contact to pull it down to GND. It is possible a voltage higher than 5 volts was put into it and damaged the circuitry. I believe it can tolerate an external voltage of 5 volts or less on the Sensor Input to GND.

Good to know. Thank you for the information.

If the Dual band On Off module still has local control sensing or an RC snubber across the relay contacts. They may glow. I should find out next Wednesday when my Dual Band On Off modules arrive. All of my 2456S3 ApplianceLincs will cause low wattage LEDs to glow. The hardware 4.? ones also have a RC snubber across the relays contacts. That put a small current on the output when off.

I had a chance to do a few tests. 35 LED String. 2456S3 Hardware 4.1 and 1.3 Both a 56K and 33K worked. 2856D2B Hardware 4.3 Both a 56K and 33K worked. 2457D2R Hardware R3.4 Both a 56K and 33k worked. So the choice of resistor is not overly critical.

Small incandescent light bulb will also work. 33000 {33K} resistor should be fine. The wattage at the 120 volts when On is .43 watts. So a .5 Watt would work. I prefer a safety margin and say a 1 watt is best. Though I know many users with the .5 watt one and no issues. On the X10 forums. We frequently use 33K to 47K values. I tried a single 35 LED light string, Hardware 4.1 2456S3 ApplianceLinc and a 56K resistor. It kept the LEDs Off.

Well I got an email this morning. Shipped yesterday. Now that I think of it. Maybe the use of PayPal to pay for the order. Added processing time.

Ad-Aware has been reported as a problem. Along with a few other antivirus programs. I have to add the IP address of my ISY994i to the trusted list in Zone Alarm. You may find some added information in this section of the forums. http://forum.universal-devices.com/forum/4-router-firewall-and-anti-virus-issues/

No the ISY26 will not control later Insteon modules. Not sure if the I2 ones are supported. I2CS no. The Newer ISY99i can control more but it also can't do the latest. So the iSY994i is needed for the latest Insteon Modules.

Two phase couplers in the same breaker panel or two different ones? It is possible the passive phase coupler is now passing noise on one line back into the other line. With all those Access Points. Have you done some communications tests with them, using the four tap method? If any of the 2443 Access Points are hardware 2.0 and above. Try disconnecting one at a time and see if things get better. The 2.0 and above use the same base circuit board as in the 2413S with the power supply issues. If the LED on the side is dim or out, communications tests act real strange that is another clue on a failing power supply. If power cycling an Access Point also improves communications. The supply is flaky or the module was locked up. Two of my Access Points made communications worse because it had a failing power supply. Same PLM fix works for a hardware 2.0 and above Access Points.

The 2413S PLM was on the excluded from the sale list. Not sure if they had a great sale volume or didn't have enough seasonal staff. My first thought is. Lack of seasonal staff. Why cut into the profit margins. My order from last Sunday was still listed as "Processing" this morning. On items the sales page said In Stock will ship today. Though who knows if they did have any of the refurbished On-Off modules they said they have.

Sudden changes as pointed out. Can be something deteriorating, new device or even a device moved to a new location. Like moved a cell phone charger to a more convenient location.

Wired in or plug in? Plug in could be a Smarthome FilterLinc if the load is ten or less amps. It also has a pass through outlet on the front. I have my UPS using one. The PLM is in the unfiltered front outlet and the UPS in the bottom filtered one. The ACT AF120 is a fifteen amp one. The X10Pro XPF is a large 20 amp wired in one. All three I mentioned do X10 or Insteon noise. As both are close in power line signal frequency.

One common place to look is the PLM connected to the same circuit with computing equipment or an UPS. Both can absorb Insteon power line signals or put noise on the power lines.

Problem I have seen with Honeywell data sheets they cover many models on the sheet. I did see a set of optional red wires on page 3 for the 8184G diagram. I believe the 1286 could be some factory information. As I have seen the ending numbers change with the same model thermostats I purchased. R4184D,R8184Install1.pdf

You may want to check and see if there are two Red Wires out of the present control. I found the installation sheet and it does show a isolated dry contact to trigger an alarm when in safety. On some of the 4184G units.

I am extremely surprised you have not gotten any trouble ticket responses. I saw a few responses in your Slow question back in 03/25/15.

The 20% sale is from 11/25/15 through 12/01/15. So cyber Monday was covered. I get daily email reminders of how many days are left. Got a new email tonight. Now the title was changed to Cyber Monday 20% Off sale. Closer to 12/25/15 may see an additional sale or two.

That maybe a tough thing to do. Normally the Orange wire turns On and Off L1 the Hot 120 volts. To the Burner motor and ignition. When the Thermostat, aquastat or zone relay called for heat. When the red button is tripped. Maybe by a flame detector sensing a flame out. The orange wire never gets a 120 volt power feed. I don't see where a missing voltage could be detected. As when the burner is off or red button is popped. The 120 volts is not on orange wire. If the controller had a alarm relay contact. Like my burner has. It could trip an I/OLInc Sensor Input.

The Schlage web site says it is a Z-Wave device. You would probably need the Z-Wave model ISY994i or install the added Z-Wave board. http://consumer.schlage.com/products/pages/productdetails.aspx?ModelNumber=BE469NX%20CEN%20626

My 2457D2 Lamplinc is also a Red Listing. It is not a controller for any other module. So it is showing no modules it controls.
