Sounds like they have electronic controls and power supply. 2477D is a dimmer type and should not be used on electronic controls and power supplies. Unless you can verify they are compatible with a dimmer switch. Best fix is a relay type Insteon Switch that is On and Off only. Like the original manual wall switch. A 2477S maybe a better choice.

As pointed out. Yes it could be the load. I have a few model CFLs and LED bulbs that are either power line noise makers or are a good signal sucker when On.

The Pro add on can be purchased if you need it. You don't need a whole new ISY994i. In the Help Purchase Modules choice. See if the Pro add on is avilable to purchase. When you purchase it. UDI updates your ISY994i to add the Pro features remotely. Though I would wait until you get assistance on calculating your Scenes, Programs and total links.

If the heated floor controls are 24 volt AC then you maybe able to use an Insteon Thermostat. Your contractor should have the needed information for you. Post your findings. As there maybe a work around if they are switching the line power through the thermostats directly.

1. Yes

The HouseLinc devices.xml file also shows an interesting 2450 I/OLinc with 50/60 cycle auto select. It also has a different Sub Cat 0D. Along with a 2248-222,-422,-442,-522 series of I/O Modules that all have new Sub Cat IDs. From the suffix numbers. It could be they are now going international.

Since it is a battery powered device. It goes into a power saving mode and can't be accessed. Did you wake it up first. Then make the changes. Hold the Set Button until it beeps. Then try and make the updates.

By chance is there a model number and hardware revision sticker on the I/OLinc? Reason I asked. Is I have seen some new I/OLIncs and a unreleased I/O module number. In the HouseLinc Devices.xml file with different Sub Cat numbers. What power requirements are listed on the back label?

I know my 4:50AM and 8:00AM programs ran today. They are showing Status False and the Last Run and Last Finished areas are blank. All the Next Run Times are showing a valid correct time for them to run.

Stacking Insteon Modules is not the best idea. Heat will build up in the modules and may shorten their lives. I have a few 2456S3 old hardware ApplianceLincs stacked and they get very warm. I have had a fes of them fail. Though they are from early 2006. Older users manuals discouraged stacking them.

This wiki page may assist you. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index ... an_SD_Card When you formatted the SD card. You wiped out the firmware stored on it.

What is the PLM's Firmware version? That may assist in finding some answers. It can be found in the Tools, Diagnostics, PLM Info/Status choice.

Smarthome will not let any end user update firmware in anything. It has been that way since I started with Insteon in 2005.

The two wire SwitchLinc requires an incandescent load to work. As it steals power through the load. If your load is not incandescent it will not work. Some dimmable LED bulbs MAY work but you would be on your own testing it.

When you changed the PLM. Did you power up the PLM then the ISY controller. So it found the new PLMs ID? Then used the Restore Modem (PLM) choice in the files menu? That should have made the changes to all the devices with out a manual restore. Other than battery devices that had to be put into the Linking Mode first.

The Quick Users Guide and Full Users Manual shows the Black to Line and the Red to Load. Only one of the wires on the original switch should have 120 volts AC on it to neutral or ground and that would be the Line. There is a possibility you could read back through the load with a high impedance meter. If you test with the load disconnected in the fixture or the bulbs removed. That would remove any leakage back through the light bulbs.

Thank you for the updated information.

pool.ntp.org Didn't work for you either? That is what I am using.

I have seen web articles on how easy some Home Automation installations have been hacked. I had seen the HUB mentioned a few times but not any others. Until now. That is scary. Insteon.com actually had a response to the HUB hacking information. http://www.insteon.com/Press080213.html

If you don't have the full users manual yet. http://www.insteon.com/pdf/2477S.pdf Pages 5-7 may give you a start with some information on three or more switches.

Here is a link to the Smarthome Forum thread. http://www.smarthome.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=14554

Teken; Wise move. I have gotten more information from members like LeeG, ELA, Indy Mike and jdale, to name a few. Than I ever got from my Developers Group membership. There is no added information on Smarthops. Not already given in the White Paper. Except one brief mention in the last I2CS notes they gave us.

You may want to get some data on how much noise is floating around on the power lines. Industrial settings could have lots of noise and spikes on the power lines from machinery.

I have not seen anything on those options yet. Though Smartlabs has not even given us a Developers Notes File on it yet. I did see your post on the Smarthome Forums. I have seen a reference to your smarthops question in the I2CS Developers Notes.

In the diagnostics tests. Show Device Links table for the module you want to look at. Then when the test is done. Use the compare choice and see if the ISY known links matches the ones in the module. You may see a Identical/Ignore on the last link line. That is the first unused link in the modules database. I would have though the remove existing links when the module was added to the ISY setup should remove the possible old links from a module. If a Factory Reset is not easy to do. Though it would not remove any X10 addresses from factory tests. I have not see a Insteon command to remotely Factory Reset a module.
