The original Garage Door Kit. Came with a SPDT reed switch. So you could pick the NO or NC contacts for your setup. Smarthome now uses a cheaper magnetic switch. Though I believe the kit is the same price.
-
Unfortunately there is confusion. As an Electronic Technician I also think of the resting state with no magnet next to it. Security use. Lists the state of the magnetic switch when it is not in the violated state. Most likely when the magnet is next to the switch. I have seen similar problems over in the X10 forums when trying to decipher a magnetic switch type.

No you do not need the Pro version. When you purchase the Pro upgrade. UDI just enables it on your unit and when it reboots. The Pro options will be available. Did you add the new 2663-222 to the Administrative Console first?
-
If it is six months old. It is in warranty as Teken posted. If you want to read about the capacitor issue. It is here. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/13866-repair-of-2413s-plm-when-the-power-supply-fails/ I had my two year and three month old 2413S die with failing power supply. Unregulated 12 volts {normally around eighteen or higher volts} was like seven to nine volts. Five volt logic supply regulator went out of regulation and the logic supply was real low. New caps restored it.
-
I would suspect. That with a brand new SD Card. Everything would be default. Until a recent backup was used to restore it.
-
The firmware and files are all stored on the SD Card. So when you put in the replacement. Your ISY994i had no firmware or files to run at boot time. Best to ask UDI about using the original ISY994i SD Card if it was not what failed causing your error LED flashing. If the failure is the ISY994i and not the SD Card. I would imagine using the SD Card from the problem controller should work.
-
Did you follow the proper instructions to replace a SD Card? I know the WIKI information does not say ISY994i but I believe it still is valid. A new SD Card will not function until properly initialized.
-
You have to format and then add the firmware back to the new SD Card. You can't just plug it in and it works. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Replacing/Formatting_an_SD_Card The SD Card from a ISY99i may not work with out doing some things like putting a later version ISY994i firmware on it. As the ISY99i could have no newer than 3.3.10 on it. Calling UDI Support is a good idea. They should be able to step you through getting the new SD Card working or determine if there is a rare ISY994i failure.

I hope you can get the All On fixed without having to abandon your ISY setup, but do understand the possible need to do it. The Delete Modem function will remove the PLMs ID from all the Insteon Modules. Listed on this wiki page. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:File_Menu&redirect=no#Delete_Modem_.28PLM.29

I would suspect 4.2.27 (RC4) is close to an official release. I have seen that the next major update 5 is in the works.
-
When you reboot. Like with a firmware update. The current state is blank until the device is queried or reports in if it is an RF device. All the buttons on my Remotelinc show no current state on its buttons. Until each one is activated. If you have Query at restart checked in the configuration tab. The power line devices should show their present state. If you have a Pro version and have Automatic Writes or Automatic Writes to RF Devices disabled. They default to On after a reboot.
-
You are not going to find any added information on their web site. Only links to the vendor selling the device. That they make custom for the vendor selling them. http://www.minotaurengineering.com/

If they have not fallen off, the glue on them was known to dry out and fall off. There should be a few white sticker on the front of the module. If you have a chance. You may want to post what they say. Also verify the local paddle switches work correctly. There where some with tact switch problems in the older hardware revisions.. The symptom was paddle would click the small tact switch but nothing would change. The hardware revision would be on the white sticker on the front of the Switchlinc. After looking at the Shipping Products list Smartlabs publicly released. The Sub Cat ID number the module maybe different than the ones I gave for the early revision hardware.
-
If it really is a 2876S Icon On Off Switch. It would have only one green or amber {both where used at different times} Off LED. If it is a 2476D it will have all of the level indicating LEDs. That indicate the level it is turned on. If it was a 2476S. It would have two white LEDs. One for Off and one for On.
-
That should not be happening The 2476D has an Insteon Catalog Number 0x01, Subcatalog number 0x01 The 2876S has an Insteon Catalog Number 0x02, Subcatalog number 0x0B The Cat and Subcat numbers are read by the ISY controller. As reported by the module during reading its properties. Event Viewer in Level 3 may show what is going on. When adding it.

How to "turn off" fast off and fast on with a dimmer switch
Brian H replied to 62vetteefp's topic in ISY994
No. The local paddle always controls the load connected to it. Along with sending Insteon messages to devices linked to it. I believe the double tap will turn it 100% On, even if you have a local On level set. While a single tap would turn it On at the Local level it is set to. -
The Developer Documentation and Rest API was recently released by Smartlabs. http://www.insteon.com/developer/#devdocs The White Papers are here. http://www.insteon.com/technology/#documentation

Any new electronic devices that maybe use a 915MHz RF signal? Have you done the built in communications tests, from your Dual Band devices, to see if any are no longer communicating? I had a hardware version 2.5 2443 Access Point go stupid. Until I did a power cycle reset. How old is the 2413S PLM you are using?
-
If they are in a Scene in the ISY994i controller. Have you run the Scene test from the Tools Tab. Diagnostics, Scene test. You did use the ISY controller to link all the modules and not a manual set button linking between them?
-
You can NOT put a dimmer designed for 120 volts on the low voltage output of a transformer. It will NOT work! You have to use the dimmer on the AC input of the transformer and the transformer has to be rated to be run on a dimmer.
-
The users manual must have a misprint in it. Page 4 actually says it has a unique Insteon ID number.
-
On the bottom row of terminals. I believe I see a set of connections marked Line Cord In. If you connect to the receptacles. There is a good chance you will back feed the AC into the line cord presently connected to the transformer. Maybe you can give more information. Are the outlets you want to wire to. Part of the transformer assembly or where the transformer assembly is plugged into? The original dimmer you mentioned. Did it wire into the transformer assembly or an outlet where it was plugged into?
-
You are just shoving the twisted wires into the receptacles? You should determine the proper terminal screws on the transformer and make reliable connections.
