Unless it has been updated. The XPPF maybe rated at 5A but the internal coils get very hot when tested on a 4 amp incandescent bulb. So some care maybe needed. The FilterLinc may still be available. https://shop.insteon.com/products/powerline-noise-filter I sure does sound like the charger is a signal sucker. I have seen other reports of such things having a nice AC rated capacitor across the power lines for internal noise suppression but it also kills power line signals.

If the 2443 Access Point is on the same circuit. It may not matter too much but in the pass through outlet it would definitely help. The former Smarthome recommended a Access Point in the front outlet. For better results as the I/OLinc is a power line only device. One thing to check. On the back of the Access Point look at the revision number. If it is any V2 revision. They are built on the same main board as our 2413S PLM. Subject to the same capacitor issues we see in the 2413S. Chargers and some garage door opener models are known for power line communications issues. Though depends on the charger or opener itself.

I had a similar problem with a siren module. Set it on the main entry but it didn't do what I wanted. Until I set it in the scene it was member of. Too my desired need.

Double check or try a different power supply. They do have a reputation for failing or getting flaky.

The cable between the XTB-IIR and the WGL V572. Maybe a phone style cable or a straight through cable. As I have two different versions of the WGL. Some used the phone style wired cable and the other one the straight trough wired cable. Wrong cable didn't seem to hurt anything. It just didn't work.

The XTB-IIR near the electrical panel is a good place for it. My ISY994i with 2413S PLM is on the other end of the house. Once the X10 signal reaches the XTB-IIR. The X10 signals in my home are all above ~ 1V X10 signals. Bonus is my WGL V572 all house code X10 RF receiver into the TW523 RJ13 port. On the side. Also gives me a good signal all over the house. As my Insteon devices are old enough to have an added X10 address in them.

That does sound correct. The XTB-IIR has a simulated X10 TW523 interface on the side connector. RJ13 jack sounds correct. I have mine connected to an all house code X10 RF receiver. That normally used a TW523 interface.

A 6 Position 6 Conductor connector. With RJ13 being a 6 Position 6 Conductor connection with the outer pair of conductors unused. When using the X10 TW523 power line interface connections. A 8 Position 8 Conductor connector is the RJ45 style connector. Typically used in networking but customized by Smarthome for their PLM, PLC and other interfaces. To clarify. The XTB-IIR is an excellent X10 repeater phase coupler. The connector on the side is for a simulated X10 TW523 power line interface. I am using mine to connect to an all house code X10 RF receiver.

Where did you see an RJ-13 used? The PLM both 2412S and 2413S used an RJ-45 style 8 pin connector. The 2414S PLC also has a RJ-45 style connector.The signals on the RJ-45 normally found on a network are not what they are in a PLM. They are serial signals on three wires. The others varied as the older 2412S also had a unregulated +12VDC (~18VDC) on it and could power an ISY994i or older ISY99i. While the 2413S has some pins being TTL level signals. Smarthome to me. Liked to keep parts the same over many devices. I have real ancient X10 only controller modules with the same RJ-45 I/O just completely different functions. Did more looking and may have found for the possible confusion.. The eisy uses a USB connection to a 2413U. You can use a 2413S with their USB to serial adapter. https://www.universal-devices.com/product/serial-plm-kit/ If you have a series 300 ZWave board and upgraded to the ones developed for the newer series 500 board. I suspect that may have caused your problem.

There was a very basic test program we had in the now defunct developers group (was to test their developers group set of devices) and BusyRat gave us one in the old Insteon section of the Smarthome forums. Both only would send and receive Insteon commands to modules we had. So we could see things like dumping the link database one entry at a time and you needed the commands (hex string sent and received by the PLM) in the Insteon developer guide (now found on some sites). Used a serial port on the computer or sometimes a USB to serial converter. In my tests the BusyRat program only did the low comm port numbers and the developers one (for DockLight Scripting free evaluation version) was hard coded to a serial port ID though you could change it but not store the new com port as the DocLight Evaluation version was restricted. Though it could be modified by a plain no special features text editor and carefully reading the setup file. Can you test one maybe but it would not be too easy. Unless someone here has one they used and I don't know about it. The hardware revision on the back may give you a clue. As some improvements where made in later revisions.

We saw similar posts. When years ago UDI stopped making the ISY26 and then ISY99i for the later ISY994i.

If it is an ISY994i. There is no firmware updates for the new I3 modules. Only the Polisy and EISY have updates firmware for I3 devices.

Micro USB is what the manual said for the the 5V supply cable end. One thing I have seen is to get the cover back on. The sensor end has to be a 90 degree connector. I have seen two forms of 90 degree connectors. One cable exits down the other up. Don't remember which fit better.

Well I have been around for many years. I don't see any Green box either.

Is it an intelligent opener? Where it has a display with things like a clock or a simple push button control. If it is a simple push button. Does it act the same way. As the button is normally off and pushing it turns it on. Is the I/OLinc set for a momentary relay on pulse or continuous?

Almost all dual band devices. Have a built in communications test (4 tap test for many or flow chart to follow). You can try the test to supplement testing the system with them unplugged. If the revision is any of the 1 series. They are on the transformer style main board with a daughter board. The revision 2 are on the same main board as the 2413 PLM. With the same capacitor issues as the PLM. Revision number may effect the decision. I have a pair of 1.6 in use for many years. Replacing a pair of revision 2 that had failed power supplies.

OK sounds like a way to proceed. I forgot to mention that white led would be on bright or flashing depending on phase of the sender and receiver, but they where communicating with each other.

The 4 tap tests works on many of the dual band modules. You tap the set button 4 times and it starts the communications test. Some models use a flow chart and a sequence of set button ans LED flask patterns to start the test. Some refer to it a the Beacon test. I have seen that some still follow the 4 tap method though it shows in a flow chart. Then you look at the other modules LED and what it is showing. Flashing Green shows it is communicating on opposite phases. Flashing Red communicating on the same phase. No flashing not communicating between the test modules. Not all will pass the test. Just you need some showing between them. Note the 2413S also can do the 4 tap test to other modules. The LED on some can also be set to flash on traffic. That also may give you some clues.

May also depend on your wanting to use any of the latest I3 Insteon Modules. Only the eisy has firmware to control them. Depending on if the modules are the real old I1 power line only. Your new home may have noise makers or signal suckers. If you have any Dual Band modules. Try seeing what their built in Communications Tests show. As you may have a hard to reach area in the home. If the 2413S is a revision >2.0 and not the latest. You could be correct. As they had power supply issues and for some failed.

Back in the ISY99i and earlier ISY994i days. There was no Finder. We had a start.jnlp file to access the Administrative Console. I believe it may also have been created for the firmware we where using. V3.3.10 was the last ISY99i firmware released.

The reset button actually had more than one function. If you held it for a short time (yes I forgot exact length). You reset the console access and password to admin. If you hold it longer. 30 seconds sound like it maybe it. You did a full factory reset on it and you needed use a procedure to add firmware to it.

Been a real long time now. I have used an ISY994i for probably the whole 16 years it was sold. Last time I accessed my ISY99i with the last firmware 3.3.10 released for it. Was with the Administrative Console. Released for that revision firmware. As the Finder was not released and each update had its own Console. Early enough Java so that the Security Tab had lower levels I used and not just the Hi or Very Hi choices. I believe it was a lower choice that worked. Never tried it but in the Java Security Tab. There is a place to put information in the Exception Site List. I think Java still asks about it but you can still run the program after an OK. If in that list.

I do not believe the ISY Finder goes back that far for the firmware in the ISY99i. There was an older administrative console program to access it. It my have also even been tied to what firmware is in the ISY99i. As I do remember getting later ones from time to time. As newer firmware was released.

I believe (old memories here). I also get a similar message when I tried my ISY99i. I think the present program will not work correctly on the ISY99i.

I have a power strip that has both a noise and surge suppression feature. The noise suppression is just a AC rated capacitor across the power line. It absorbs both Insteon and x10 power line signals as noise. I ended up opening it up and removing the capacitor. Though it probably would not effect dual band devices as much. As they also have RF. In my setup. I have a 10A FilterLinc with my UPS in the filtered outlet and the PLM in the pass through outlet on the front of it.
