Do you have the Pro version? If you do. You can turn off automatic writes to Battery Devices. Then do each one individually. If needed some of mine with no updates don't have to be woken up. After you Restore The Modem.

Old Developers Notes but gives an idea of what the options are. http://cache.insteon.com/developer/2423A5dev-112010-en.pdf I don't remember if the Full Users Manual give any information on the options. When using the ISY controller the manual button information in the manual is not needed. http://cache.insteon.com/documentation/2423A5-en.pdf

If less than two years old. As pointed out you are with in the two year warranty and it should be covered by Smarthome.

After closing the UI and then going back into the UI. Mine is Greyed out and still disabled, but if you click on it it will be enabled again. It is also greyed out in the File drop down menu. The only time It automatically gets enabled on mine. Is if you reboot the ISY994i or during a firmware update.

If it is a 2413S and over two years old. It maybe on the way out. As they have a reputation of failures. When mine went bad. Power cycling it started it working again for a few days. So keep an eye on it for odd behavior.

I doubt it is a clone. The Cree is their new 4Flow design and they always manufacturer their own products. Notice the air vents on the Cree.

Sounds like the capacitor was poorly filtering the power supply and when you had to start back up. The supply never was able to get enough filtering on a cold start. For a high enough or smooth enough voltage source.

You may want to look at the CREE web page for the bulbs. The Documentation tab has four files that can be downloaded. http://creebulb.com/products/standard-a-type/connected-60-watt-replacement-soft-white-led-bulb The page indicates they should be available shortly. So there may not be any users feedback yet.

I believe it is for installers and dealers to configure a standalone system. Then remove the ISY controller with PLM.

NO do not file. Delete Modem. The PLM's ID will be removed from every device in the system.

I don't see the 2441ZTH listed in the drop down list of modules it knows about. You may want to verify it can even be added to an ISY setup.

Power supplies in some electronic devices will make power line noise or absorb Insteon power line signals. If you can try a different circuit not tied to the I/OLinc that may help or put the POE's AC power supply on a Filterlinc

How old is the SwitchLinc? The earlier hardware versions had a tact switch issue. The paddle would activate the switch and it would click but it didn't make electrical contact. Symptoms where similar to what you are seeing. Paddle works intermittently or stops completely working. Though a controller had complete control. Smarthome actually gave the SwitchLincs in the possible problem manufacturing date range. A seven yeay warranty. You may want to try a power cycle reset on them.

You can't add it to your ISY994i setup as Stu pointed out. Actually after a Factory Reset. The 2000STW has a default X10 address of A1. You can program a different one into it. You can send X10 commands from your ISY994i but only in programs. The optional A10/X10 firmware module allows a few more things to be done. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i_Series_INSTEON:Enhanced_A10/X10

17 is a very low count. Did you try a count a few times? Any Insteon traffic during the count can make it incorrect. Do you know about how old the 2413S is? There are many reports of them failing in around two years. Mine died at 2 years and 3 months. Just out of warranty. I rebuilt mine from the information in one of the threads here. I understand they recently updated the hardware and firmware in them to correct problems.

They have been doing a complete update to both the Smarthome.com and Insteon.com web sites recently. I had problems from time to time that came and went. Seems much better now. Though I had to get use to some of the new pages and how they access other pages.

The ISY99i is discontinued and because of firmware limitations. It will not support any of the latest Insteon Devices due to older firmware. The last firmware for the ISY99i is 3.3.10.

I can't say about the sales pages. I can verify almost all of the links the developers use. Are now giving an error 404 page not found error. With a message they are getting ready for some big improvements. I just went to the sales site and it seemed to be running OK now. Maybe it is now corrected.

The micro module is available in Dimmer and relay On/Off http://home-automation.smarthome.com/search?w=insteon%202442-222%20micro%20dimmer%20module

In my case. The Filterlinc is all passive components and no added heat. So the PLM isn't getting any added heat from the Filterlinc. I have two early hardware 1.3 2456S3 ApplianceLincs stacked and yes the bottom one gets quite warm. From late 2005 one or two may have gotten flaky. I have replaced the main filter capacitor in all of them. As there seems to be a fair amount of ripple current through them and they get warm.

Make sure the filter is not a generic one but one designed for Insteon or X10. Some generic filters absorb power line signals as noise. UPS AC Input Filters are a common problem with both Insteon and X10. I have a 10 amp Filterlinc on my UPS and the PLM for my ISY994i in the pass through unfiltered outlet on the front of the Filterlinc. Act makes a 15 amp AF120 if you have a load between 10 and 15 amps. As Stu pointed out. Some electronic devices have to be unpluged as just Off keeps their power supply still on the AC power lines to cause issues.

I have found the same thing with many of the dimmable LED bulb models I have tried. They don't start until maybe 20% and may go off at maybe 15%. Many also do not dim linearly. I have also seen one flicker at one dim level but be fine above and below the one level. It is how the bulbs electronics act with the dimmers electronics.

2412S is OK 2412N is a completely different animal. Though if the 2412S has real old firmware. It could have the small Link Database in it.

BusyRats web site is gone and his domain is now listed on some of those domain selling sites. Not sure if anyone has it archived on their web site. I believe he released it to public domain with no support.
