Sorry for the delay. Big storm. No power for twenty four hours. Batteries in the phone company. Small equipment building down the road. Only keeps them alive for maybe an hour. I still am on DSL. I believe the values of C3 C11 and C8. Are also used in the 2413S PLM. So you should be able to use the part numbers for the values. The 10uF400V was used in the PLM if memory serves me. It fit my PLM and I believe it will on the 2450 I/OLinc/ C7 is the one that is in the switching supply and should be the 220uF/50 volt if possible. Both the first change 10uF/50V and 220uF/50 volt are physically to large. Have to be mounted horizontally to the PCB and the leads bent at a ninety degrees

Thanks for the photos. After looking at it. I found my observations where incorrect. C3 is the 6.8uF/250V not C4. I will have to update my information file to correct the C3 misread.

1. I believe C3,C11 and C8 are the same values as the 2413S. Though the C numbers on the PCB silk screening may not match each other. The new part numbers going by old and new value picked should match. {1-4} C7 is the only capacitor in the main power supply and not in a pi {capacitor, coil, capacitor } configuration. Like the 2413S. Just one capacitor for the main power supply. It was a 10Uf/25V in my 1.0. Changed to a 10uF/50V in my 1.8. The 2.3 has a 220uF/50V. If your is a 10uF I would go for the new value of 220uF/50V. The power supply is around 21VDC that is on the low side of the 24 volt relay voltage tolerance. The 10uF voltage goes even lower when the relay coil current is being supplied. With the 220uF it stays at 21VDC. It will not fit on the PCB in the normal position. It is horizontal to the PCB and the legs are bent at about 90 degrees. Small dab of component glue holding it place. C7 is the one that is on the switching supply and is the one most critical. Should be low ESR or rated for a switching supply output. I don't off hand have a part number for it as it is not a value in a 2413S. 2. Just a someone tampered with this screw indicator. 3. I have seen the white stuff on my modules also. I think it is leftover residue from the cleaning. Maybe that ROHS not real lead solder.

It is a Piezo Beeper/Sounder. I had a chance to look at a few different hardware revisions of the 2450 I/O Linc Modules. They use the same LNK354GN Switching Power Supply IC as the 2413 PLM and V2 Access Points. C7 was the part I found changed. Between hardware revisions. Hardware V1.0 0851: C3 6.8uf/250V C11 100uf/25V C8 10uf/16V C7 10uf/25V 25V rating was close to the 21VDC I measured on it. Hardware V1.8 1202: C3 6.8uf/250V C11 100uf/25V C8 10uf/16V C7 10uf/50V Mounted horizontally over PCB. As it was large to fit the boards hole spacing. Hardware V2.3 1430: C3 6.8uf/250V C11 100uf/25V C8 10uf/16V C7 220uf/50V Mounted horizontally over PCB. As it was large to fit the boards hole spacing. My thoughts are. In V1.8 C7 was changed to 10uf/50V for a better safety margin. In V2.3 C7 was changed to 220uf/50V to beef up the power supply. The original 1.0 had a very small filter capacitor and the output actually went down when the relay coil turned On. Use a capacitor for switching supplies.

There was an announcement about maintenance but it indicated 10/29/17. Maybe it got changed. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/22739-isy-portal-maintenance-10-29-2017/?hl=portal

You using On/Off relay type or dimmer type switches? Unless marked dimmable. CFL and LED bulbs should not be used on a dimmer.

I just tried the Start Linking method. It did not work for me. Kind of a round about way, but I have done it with a ControLinc. That is the most ornery Insteon device I have ever seen. If you have a new module is best . I added it to my ISY994i. Looked at its links. Manually linked the RemoteLinc2 to the module. Then looked at the modules links again. The mismatched link is the Remotelinc2 six digit Insteon ID.

I believe the Auto Discover needs the six digit Insteon ID. If it does not work. You may want to try the Start Linking method. Then put the RemoteLinc 2 into the programming mode. With the Set Button. If found. It will be added by its six digit Insteon ID.

04/21/17. So we have awhile for a >two year test.

C7 and C13 in my V2.3 are 100uF 50V. Due to size parallel mounted to PCB and component glued to hold them from moving.

Review replies could be correct. Problem parts changed at V2.3. V2.4 may just have a different brand component in it and have nothing to do with reliability. Early days of Insteon. I was told sometimes a revision number advanced because a new brand part was used as the original was unavailable. We will never know unless someone adventitious and has a V2.3. Opens it up and compares V2.3 and V2.4 Yours is a recent production run. 2917 id week 29 of 2017. Is the firmware still 9.E?

A V1.0 is an original design and has some power supply rework to add an extra capacitor and coil. It is not as easy to do the repair. As the capacitors are not directly on the main board. They are kind of hanging above the board with some wires to the board. Not as easy as the later hardware revisions. You probably got a hardware V2.3 or maybe higher now. 2.3 is where Smarthome indicated it fixed a component issue that sometimes caused failures.

My first problem PLM was a hardware version 1.5. If you have a tester that can measure the old capacitors ESR along with the capacity. It would give you added information. I don't have a test meter that can read ESR but the capacity of my old ones was less than 50%. A few also showed slight bulging cases or the seal on the bottom was starting to push out.

Possible the connection between the thermostat and the adapter was getting poor. Disconnecting and reconnecting cleaned it up. Power cycling by removal and reinstall cleared up a glitched controller chip. Another thought is it maybe starting to fail. Though the FCC Database photos don't show any capacitors that typically fail.

2412S firmware v.63 is old and is a 417 Link Database model. The later ones where >2000 Link Database but most found above 800 Links started missing things. I don't have any exact data on it but it not cooperating with latest models would not surprise me. I also remembers some firmware versions being quirky. I would seriously think about a new PLM. The 2413S PLM also has a faster processor and memory. So it should speed up operations. The wall wart in my ISY994I kit is a 5 Volt 1 Amp.

The one in my ISY994i kit was a 5 volt one. As pointed out the voltage has a wide range. The 2412S supplied unregulated +12 volts to the ISY controller. That typically was closer to 20 volts.

The Smartenit EZIComm is their version of a PLM. Serial or USB along with the RS485 option. It is built on a main board they buy from Smartlabs and add a custom Daughter Board. Present ones are on a 2413 main board and specifications say it is Dual Band. I believe the earlier ones where on the 2412 main board. I would expect the Dual Band ones would have the same power supply issues as the 2413S/U and hardware V2 2443 Access Points. Never used one. I would think when used with an ISY controller. You could restore it just like a Smatthome 2412S or 2413S My Simplehomenet {before changing name to Smartenit} EZX10RF is built on a 2412 main board.

How old is the PLM? The 2413S PLM has a reputation to have a failed power supply. Usually over the two year old service time. Post the results from the tests Michel linked to.

You maybe thinking of the 2440 or 2440BK Original RemoteLinc. It has an All On and All Off button. They only worked with Insteon Modules linked to one of its buttons. Modules not linked to a button. Did not respond.

One thing to remember. The 2412S could power the ISY994i. The 2413S can not power it. If you have the wall wart from the ISY994i package. It will be fine. If not, you will need a power supply. The 2413S has a faster processor clock and memory. So you may also see improved performance.

In away that could be better. I have seen reports here that the Motion Sensor II is not supported in V 4.6.2. Though some have added them as the old model and got some basic functions. Without the new features it has.

Are you using the Insteon 28422-222 Motion Sensor II?

I was able to add mine using the special drop down choice in the Link management tab. Though it looked like what Michel indicated. Could not properly see any IR Links in it. Mine is a V1.A, 1444 reported .4A firmware. I have never seen Smarthome or developer Smartlabs have an official method to get firmware updated. They said we do not update firmware or provide the source code to do it yourself. With the 5 pin programming connector on the main board and a programmer. UDI may have a better idea. My feelings are maybe contract Customer Service.

You can't. The 2380 is the 600 Watt. Two Way X10 Switchlinc. No Insteon features in it. If you are interested. Here is the 2380 Manual link. http://cache-m2.smarthome.com/manuals/2380_web.pdf

IMHO. It is a cover where you sit down statement. That way if you used a dimmable LED and it didn't work correctly. They can say incandescent only you didn't follow instructions. As you have seen. Many of then are fine with an Insteon dimmer.
