isy 994i & garage door opener
Sudden changes as pointed out. Can be something deteriorating, new device or even a device moved to a new location. Like moved a cell phone charger to a more convenient location.

isy 994i & garage door opener
Wired in or plug in? Plug in could be a Smarthome FilterLinc if the load is ten or less amps. It also has a pass through outlet on the front. I have my UPS using one. The PLM is in the unfiltered front outlet and the UPS in the bottom filtered one. The ACT AF120 is a fifteen amp one. The X10Pro XPF is a large 20 amp wired in one. All three I mentioned do X10 or Insteon noise. As both are close in power line signal frequency.

One common place to look is the PLM connected to the same circuit with computing equipment or an UPS. Both can absorb Insteon power line signals or put noise on the power lines.

Oil Burner reset detector (Honeywell or Beckett)
Problem I have seen with Honeywell data sheets they cover many models on the sheet. I did see a set of optional red wires on page 3 for the 8184G diagram. I believe the 1286 could be some factory information. As I have seen the ending numbers change with the same model thermostats I purchased. R4184D,R8184Install1.pdf

Oil Burner reset detector (Honeywell or Beckett)
You may want to check and see if there are two Red Wires out of the present control. I found the installation sheet and it does show a isolated dry contact to trigger an alarm when in safety. On some of the 4184G units.

Unresponsive support
I am extremely surprised you have not gotten any trouble ticket responses. I saw a few responses in your Slow question back in 03/25/15.

Oil Burner reset detector (Honeywell or Beckett)
That maybe a tough thing to do. Normally the Orange wire turns On and Off L1 the Hot 120 volts. To the Burner motor and ignition. When the Thermostat, aquastat or zone relay called for heat. When the red button is tripped. Maybe by a flame detector sensing a flame out. The orange wire never gets a 120 volt power feed. I don't see where a missing voltage could be detected. As when the burner is off or red button is popped. The 120 volts is not on orange wire. If the controller had a alarm relay contact. Like my burner has. It could trip an I/OLInc Sensor Input.

Schlage Connect BE469NX-CEN
The Schlage web site says it is a Z-Wave device. You would probably need the Z-Wave model ISY994i or install the added Z-Wave board. http://consumer.schlage.com/products/pages/productdetails.aspx?ModelNumber=BE469NX%20CEN%20626

LampLinc Modules Red In Device Tree
My 2457D2 Lamplinc is also a Red Listing. It is not a controller for any other module. So it is showing no modules it controls.

PLM 2.0 HW Failed
Your last PLM was a hardware 2.0 or above, that failed? That is not a good thing to read about.

Smarthome Sale 11/25/2015
Just checked the exclusions. 2413S PLM is not included.

Echo integration and older ISY
If it is the older 2412S. The 2413S has a faster controller and memory. Now that the 2413S hardware above 2.0 has the improved power supply. It should be more reliable.

Repair of 2413S PLM When the Power Supply Fails
C7 and C13 are the two that are the common problems. They are in the unregulated 12 volt power supply and should have been rated for switching power supply use. If you look at them real carefully. You may see the tops bulging slightly or the rubber bottom seals starting to pop out. The others are changed for good measure.

Smarthome Sale 11/25/2015
I got a post card last Saturday. With the 20% sale information and a scan code on it for smart phones to read.

Insteon Prices
I have also seen Insteon pricing going up or less product in a kit. Lots of users like the light pipe color changing kits. Single color ones where being sold. Now you only get two of the right colored ones in the assortment and the other six are useless. I also have seen the sneaky prices retail prices listed for reconditioned units be $10 more than a new one. Then the $15 off on the recon is actually $5. So $5 off on a recon with a 30 day warranty while a new one has two years. I also wait for sales and got a post card for a 20% off sale starting 11/25/15 X10 prices are also going up. Though the new owners of the X10 brand. Are updating the electronics in some of them and new devices are close. Like a Wi-Fi module and improved RF repeater.

Repairing PLM (Part UTS1C100MDD 10uF 16 volt)
That capacitor is in the 5 volt supply and low ESR is not a big issue.. I used a General Purpose 105 degree C 10uf/16 volt 4mm X 7mm and it seems to be just fine. http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Nichicon/USV1C100MFD/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtZ1n0r9vR22TfspN1CfqVcre90UL%2fPITI%3d If you want to go with a low impedance one. That I found after in a later search and could be a closer match to the original replacement one. 10uf/16V Low Impedance. 4mm X 5mm {shorter but same diameter} 105 degree C http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Nichicon/UMF1C100MDD/?qs=N9V26swqM1V5w%252b40bRFHyw%3d%3d

"Cannot determine Insteon Engine"
I am not moving away from mine. I don't like the new RemoteLinc2's I actually saw they where being discontinued and bought a few spares from a dealer that had some from bulk packaging.
-
cannot write
I only started seeing the problem with a hardware 2.1 PLM. My older 1.? ones did fine right next to the PLM.
-
"Cannot determine Insteon Engine"
I had to move my original RemoteLincs to the other end of the house near an Access Point. To program or change things. So the 2413S PLM could not receive the Insteon RF signals from the Remotelinc and the Access Point had to reach the PLM by power line commands.

Adding devices
Some of us write all the model number, location and ID of all our modules in a notebook. We also do a factory reset on all new modules. As they have been known to ship with test links in them.
-
Adding devices
Any of the battery operated Insteon Modules have to be woken up. If you also have the HUB controlling the same modules. It can sometimes lead to half links and strange things. As the ISY994i does not know anything about the HUB and the links it adds to the modules.
-
Adding devices
Open Closed module is an RF device and has to be woken up before adding it. As it is in a power saving state and will not answer. There is a start linking choice in the Link Menu but I believe it does not work as well. Most of us don't use that method. You start linking in the Administrative Console. Then go around and push the individual modules set button until the ISY994i adds it to the link database. It will be added as the six digit ID of the module. If memory serves me. Then when all are added . You stop the linking process in the Administrative Console.
