If it is stopped at that screen. You are not where you need to be. It has been awhile. I believe the Load choice will get you to the Administrative Console. If not it is the Save Choice.

I did some tests on a few I/OLincs and found that the resistance had to be less than around 800 Ohms between Sensor Input and Ground terminal and pull the Sensor Voltage below 1.0 volts. Where mine triggered. It was also possible for the LED on the side to glow dimly and still not be triggered. Found that with the ill fated original leak sensor I/OLinc Kits. I would think that 100 feet of wire would be well below 800 Ohms but would be concerned with noise maybe false triggering them. I have a home made sketch of the Sensor Input on my earlier ones and will check a later revision one tomorrow for changes.

It maybe possible. That relay two is closing and sending the proper command and relay one has not opened up yet. Causing its group command to be sent after relay two sent its message. If the 12 volt signals you are using. Are ramping up and down and not instantly On or Off. Good chance the relay being turned On reaches its pull in voltage before the other relays drop out voltage is reached. You maybe able to use some programming in your ISY controller to compensate for your overlapping messages.

If you can't get a Synchrolinc to work on a 220 dryer. Some folks have used a current sensor that has a dry switch output and a I/OLinc's sensor input or one of the Smartenit modules with Inputs. http://cocoontech.com/forums/topic/1142 ... erfurnace/

LeeG covered it nicely. The I2CS firmware devices did eliminate some of the I1 and I2 commands or handle them differently. The ISY99i you have can't use firmware above 3.3.10 due to space limitations. So new modules are not supported properly. If you don't have 3.3.10 you may want to install it. Not sure how old your PLM is? UDI does have an upgrade offer on their sales page. To upgrade to an ISY994I from a ISY99i. An ISY994i can use the latest firmware that does support the latest modules and the original ones also. My hardware 1.3 Appliancelincs are still supported as is my hardware 4.A Appliancelincs.

sloop, Long time since I saw you posting. I still find your description of early Insteon Devices that had issues as "craplincs" unique. Smartlabs/Smarthome added a new Insteon Protocol called I2CS {I2 with Check Sum} starting in March 2012. Old I1 commands where eliminated and requiring the controllers ID in its link database or it just NAKed back and didn't respond. X10 was also dropped in some modules.

Many users factory reset new modules also. Not too common but we have seen reports of new modules. Shipping with test Insteon and X10 addresses in them from the factory.

Thanks for the hands on findings. I know in the later ApplianceLinc. Smartlabs had a resistor capacitor snubber across the relay contacts. To protect the contacts. When the relay was off. There was a small current through the snubber that was on the output connector. When the relay was off.

Have you had a chance to tested one yet. Until I actually read of a users tests. We actually don't know if there is any small current on the output. If it has a snubber on the relay contacts. You will get some leakage current on the output. My newer ApplianceLincs are worse than the old ones. Where they had removed the snubber. Due to them flaming out when the snubber shorted. I am no longer being a first production run tester. Let others sort it out before I commit to any new Insteon products.

If they have Local Control Sensing. Then there would be some small sensing current on the output. If they have a Snubber network across the relay contacts like the later ApplianceLincs do. That Snubber network also allows a small current to flow through the output when Off.

Have you tried the LED lights on your X10 Appliance Modules? If you did not do some of the Local Current modifications for old before CFL friendly model appliance modules. Good chance the LED lights will also glow on an X10 Appliance Module.

The recently updated white papers are on this Insteon.com web page. http://www.insteon.com/about-whitepapers.html

You may want to see what the Event Viewer in level 3 shows. Maybe even save it so you could post it here. I don't think beta 4.1.0 would have fixed anything related to the 2450 I/OLinc.

ISY99i or ISY994i controller? What revision firmware are you running?

You probably have power line issues with the problem outlet. What else is on that circuit? Is the LampLinc the older 2456D or the newer 2457D2 Dual Band? Is the PLM for the ISY99i on the same circuit as the computing equipment?

The 2876DB is an Icon {lower cost with less features than an Insteon model} Series Switch and it is not Dual Band. The 28 in the model number was the Icon Line. The D in the model number indicates Dimmer Type. I believe the B may indicate the LED color. As the Icons had an Amber or Green LED depending on when it was manufactured. The DB definitely does not indicate Dual Band. Full Users Manual for the Icon 2876DB. http://www.smarthome.com/manuals/2876db.pdf

Connecting the I/OLinc relay to a remote. Is one way some have had to control garage door openers. That have electronic type controls. It should work with a gate remote control also. Just set the I/OLincs relay to pulsed output so it does not stay On until commanded Off.

The I/OLinc's relay is rated at 5 amps at 30 volts. You may want to verify what current the device uses. Also the terminal block on the I/OLinc has fairly small connections and it looks like #18 is the largest that will fit.

I believe v.27 was the first firmware version I have seen. I would also say you are going to have to cycle the power for the settings to stick. Either the breaker or the Air Gap Switch. Just don't push the Air Gap Switch past its normal resting place or you will factory reset it.

The sensor you linked to outputs a 0-5 volt analog signal. You would have to use an interface that could use a 0-5 volt DC signal and convert it to what you need. The I/OLinc can not process a 0-5 volt DC signal. You may want to look at this How To Monitor Appliances thread and see if it may have some suggestions. The CT800 Current Sensor provides a dry closure when current is detected. That closure should be able to trigger the Sensor Input on an I/OLinc. http://cocoontech.com/forums/topic/1142 ... erfurnace/

No you can't search for a module not in the network. Do you have access to to or have its six digit ID number. If you have the ID you could then add it. If you have access to it you could read the ID from the label or use Start Linking and push its set button. Tip that many of us use. Have a list of all the IDs and maybe location for future reference. Also though rare. We have seen modules with some test links in them. Many of us automatically do a factory reset on all of our module's as we install them.

Do you have any communications issues with the Switchlinc to the ISY controller? It is possible it is sending and receiving the RF commands from the Thermostat and the power line signals are not getting back to the ISY controller. Dual band Switchlincs can be effected by things like mounted in a metal electrical box. Some have found even with Dual Band devices. Adding an Access Point corrected things.

Does the Status LED even flash? Have you verified it is charged well? My thoughts are it is failing but calling the Insteon Gold Support Line may yield added information.

One thought. If the other SwitchLinc have an older firmware. The LED adjustable brightness may not be supported and 0 makes no difference.

Quick Start Guide shows the serial port connection to the ISY99i and the Network Connection on the ISY99i http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index ... tart_Guide The PLM connects between the serial port on the ISY99i and the serial connector on the PLM. The ISY99i is accessed by its network connection. Also the older 2412S supplied power to the ISY99i through its serial connector. The 2413S does not have the power on the serial connection and you also have to use the ISY99i's external power input connector. The ISY99i's firmware had to be frozen at 3.3.10 and all future firmware updates are for the ISY994i series only. So support for new model modules will not be in a ISY99i's firmware. No a 2414U PLC will not work.
