I agree with Teken. It is far from dead but having to bend to Smartlabs whims. Can put a damper on things.

The unfiltered outlet on the front is also nice to have. I put my PLM in the unfiltered outlet and my UPS with computing equipment on the filtered bottom outlet.

Many of the better POE Injectors use around 48 volts DC. The camera or device has a voltage regulator in it to output the proper voltage the device needs. That way the voltage loss in the cable between the injector and device doesn't effect it operation. I have seen passive unregulated ones used by X10's cameras. All they did was use the power supply for the camera at the one end and a power splitter at the other end. It was not uncommon to see the 12 volts at the injector end. Much lower at the cameras end. Sometimes the camera would work but if you tried to pan or tilt. The added current would pull the voltage so low. The camera would reboot or just get lost.

The last firmware for a ISY99i does not support the latest devices. So some feature maybe missing or will not add to the setup at all. Also NEVER use a the Manual Linking procedures between modules. Only use the Administrative Console to do everything. Any links done manually will not be known to your ISY Controller and will lead to issues or overwritten links in modules.

The AC Line Input filter in most UPS units. Can absorb Insteon Power Line Signals as noise. It is possible that line filter could make a problem. If it is on the same power strip.

The DSL Reports Forums, Frontier Section. There is a large thread on the CT. problems. Some users reported the DNS Servers where not working for most of 10/25/2014. So I did a reboot of the gateway and boom, there where the new DNS Server addresses. So I now know. If in doubt reboot.

The static address and the DNS 8.8.8.8. worked and I now have time data again. A reboot of the gateway found that Frontier has its DNS Servers IP address now in the gateway. So automatic also now works. Thanks to all who helped me with the problem.

I did that with a Smarthome short lived X10SC503. Was sold as an X10 controller but was a 2430 ControLinc with all the Insteon labels removed. Added a spare ApplianceLinc to my ISY994i. Then manually linked the 2430 to the ApplianceLinc. Read back its link table and got its ID.

I will try a static address and setting the DNS to 8.8.8.8

Thank you MikeD and paulbates for your information. The 7550 has AT&T custom firmware and manual setting the DNS address is locked out. My earlier 2-Wire ones did have that option. Paul I will try the web address you gave me. I believe since there is no DNS server found by the 7550 interface. It may also not work. On the TV news this morning. Thousands of now Frontier customers are completely out of service. With 3/4 to one hour wait time for support. I may leave the band aid in place and hope they will get it fixed sometime. I can do the manual time sync to computer time in the Administrative Console for now.

Thank you for the feedback Teken. Since the 7550 is the DSL Interface, four port wired router and wireless router. I am not sure if I can do what you suggested.

After looking at the setup again. I may have my answer but not a solution. I set my LAN to use the Google Free DNS Server in each of my computers. The ISY994i is on a different port than the computers. The 7550 is also the 4 port router. My thoughts are the ISY994i is accessing the web directly through the Gateway that has the now defunct DNS Server Address in it. Any thoughts on my theory or a solution would be appreciated.

You did wake it up first by holding the set button until the LED starts flashing? Battery devices go into a battery saving mode and can't be accessed until you wake them up.

Yesterday at 12:01 AM. All of AT&T's wire line division became Frontier Communications here in CT. Early yesterday. All my access to any web site was lost with an address not found. My AT&T 7550 Gateway has great tests built in. Seems the DNS Server programmed into it is not accessible any more. Maybe still and AT&T DNS Server. So Frontier had me add the Google Free DNS Server to LAN setup in the computer and not use the one in the Gateway. I am using "pool.ntp.org" and the Google Free DNS Server seems to not find it as I am getting a failure message. All my other links work {so far anyway} just the time server has issues. Is there maybe a different link I can use the the Google Free DNS Server may accept? Thanks for any information you can provide.

Check the descriptions of the zigbee devices it supports. Only some devices are supported.

Since the PR511 is an X10 device. You could not link it to your ISY994i. It could send X10 power line commands to it and receive X10 power line messages. Do you have the optional A10/X10 Firmware Module?

Michel; SD and Micro SD cards are manufactured in various Class ratings. Any particular Class is best for ISY use? I have read the higher class modules {video recording etc.} have a faster write speed but usually the read speed suffers.

The internal photos of the 2477D Dual Band show all surface mounted parts. The older power line only ones. Where also almost all surface mounted components. Except a few components like the triac controlling the voltage to the Load. Maybe you blew the triac as it looks like the older leaded voltage regulators.

How old is your PLM? They have a reputation of failing. Usually a few months after the warranty expires. In the Tools Tab. Diagnostics. Show PLM Link Table. What does it show? If it is almost empty. You can try a restore ISY on it and see if things get better. You can also see what the PLM Info/Status choice shows.

If the generator is using a modified sine wave output and not a pure sine wave. As Stu suggested. Unplugging maybe a good thing to do.

I have seen LED bulbs sold as Cree but not made by Cree. Some manufacturers say Cree because they used a Cree LED pack on their drivers. I would also not rule out. Some Chinese knockoffs.

I believe Cree's only being sold through Home Depot may have expired. I now see them on other web sites. Though all of mine here from Home Depot. I also have some of the Switch Lighting Infinia bulbs. Yes the ones with the liquid cooling. Life time warranty but since they folded. Not much good.

Small world. I was born in Northern New Jersey. Incandescent bulbs are gone as far as I have seen. They do make a Halogen replacement for them. That squeak under the Energy Requirements. I have a few 72 watt ones that replaced the old 100 watt incandescent. Where I didn't want to use an LED bulb. Though LEDs are getting much more affordable. Most of mine are Philips, Cree and Sylvania. I did rewire a few 4 foot Fluorescent fixtures to use a Naturaled brand LED T8/T12 tube. They are driven by 120 volts AC directly and the ballast is bypassed. Down side is. If you ever put an original tube back into it. It shorts the 120 volts AC and required a unshunted socket to mate with the replacement tube. As the 120 Volts AC is connected to the pins on one end. I have not tested them for noise or signal sucking.

The dimming Ballast maybe making power line noise and causing the KPL to act strange. I have a few loads. That can make an ApplianceLinc pulse On and Off a few times when turned On.

Unless you are talking the optional Z-Wave card in an ISY994i. There is no RF processing in it. There is an optional external antenna for the Z-Wave card. The 2431S PLM is the Dual Band module used by the ISY994i controller. I have seen no external antennas mentioned for the 2413S PLM. We did verify the loads are incandescent or 120 volt Halogen bulbs and not a low voltage bulb with a driver or transformer?
