Fanlinc would not work in this application. Has a one amp rating for the fan motor output and 300 watts for the light output.
-
Switchers seem to do that. Glad you where able to trace the problem down. Smarthome has a power supply normally sold to folks going from a 2412S to a 2413S that didn't supply power. It is th 1/2 amp one and not the 1 amp one in the ISY994i kits. http://www.smarthome.com/1223PS/Univers ... ply/p.aspx

An Event Viewer running on level 3 would show the messages and success or failure. Along with the hops left= count. That I suspect is 0.
-
Seven of my nine 2456S3 ApplianceLinc modules are v1.3s and I rarely get those error messages you are reporting. Is this every time you change one of their outputs though your ISY console or after the 3:00 AM Query? Maybe once a month for some odd reason, a few of mine will not respond properly to the 3:00 AM Query and at that time there should be no power line issues. I think the firmware may have slight quirks as I found a few if you added an X10 Scene Address in addition to a Primary X10 Address.
-
I am glad the cable arrived safely. Do you have the PLM connected to an UPS or on the same circuit as the computing equipment? They can effect power line signals.
-
I have never seen any such list of incompatibilities as the combinations would be endless. The Insteon power line signals are getting into the Lutron's Electronics and it sounds like they where not made with power line commands being on the power lines, being a factor. I would imagine they may also be effected by X10 and UPB protocol power line commands. Will look around and see if I can find some type of small filter you could wire into the Lutron's Line connections. Leviton made a nice one but I believe it was discontinued. Lutron does make a filter bit it looks like they are for 600 watts and above. For smaller loads they recommend calling their technical support group. Also extremely expensive. http://www.lutron.com/en-US/ResourceLibrary/360283.pdf

Yes you will need a C connection. If you can safely do it. Look at the heat control end of the wire and see if there are any extra terminals on the controls and what they are labeled with.
-
Is the LED on the PLM look normal? Mine is Green. Another possibility is the PLM has died. We have recently seen reports of them dying with little run time on them.

To add to what LeeG pointed out. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index ... .2F_Enable

The 2443-222 has a relay output and does not dim. It does have the 700 Watt/240 Volt rating. The 100 watt limit is for the 2442-222 dimmer model.

Your setup is two wire. R/RC and W Heat. Your old thermostat is a Honeywell {I recognize the back plate} and is battery operated only {No C terminal where the Not Used label is}? If you have the Honeywell Model number I can probably verify it was battery only. Most electronic thermostats need the C Common Power wire to run. Do you seen any extra wires in the cable not used right now. As there could be an unused wire you could add to the new thermostat. You will also have to look at the control end and see if there is an unconnected C terminal on the controls. On the control end. Are the wires connected to terminals labeled R and W or T and T? The 2441TH needs the C connection. It is labeled 24 COM in the 2441TH Quick Guide. R/RC would be the R connection and W would be W1 on the 2441TH The 10A fuse does not indicate the controls voltage. Most likely 24 volts AC.

If the CFL is Off. It should not be a issue. Many times the symptoms are I can turn it On but not Off.
-
The sales page for the Smoke Bridge shows five nodes. The developers notes for the Smoke Bridge show all seven. Maybe early units didn't support all of them. Personally that would be no surprise to me. Smartlabs updates firmware and we get big surprises. ISY Firmware Release Notes also indicated that Smoke Bridge issues where addressed at 4.0.2. That could also be a factor in how many nodes where added.
-
The kit use to come with this switch. It does both NC and NO. http://www.smarthome.com/7455B/SECO-LAR ... tch/p.aspx
-
The magnetic switch is wired to the Sensor Input not to the relays NO or NC contacts. So a different magnetic switch would be the answer.
-
IMHO. It could be due to parts availability. A best judgment substitute was made for a part and it was not as good as expected. Smartlabs gives the Developers Group a shipping product list. For a short time they had foot notes on parts substitutions versus revision levels. That quickly disappeared.
-
The network module is a firmware add on. You can access the list from the Help Tab. Purchase Modules. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index ... Networking Information for all the modules is part of this page. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index ... =Main_Page

Just found this. Simplehomenet sells a replacement cable for their EZIcomm PLM and it is listed as PLM compatible also. As it is built on the base PLM main board. With a custom daughter card. http://www.simplehomenet.com/proddetail ... rial_Cable I am not familiar with that software but I found its web site to see what it does. There is lots of Insteon data here if you have not found it yet. Including a link to the older revision documentation for the PLMs. http://www.madreporite.com/insteon/insteon.html
-
What program or programs have you tried to connect to the PLM. Maybe the cable is OK and the programs accessing it have issues. Since the same serial cable was used with the 1132B Powerlinc, 2414S PLC, 2412S PLM and 2413S PLM. Those are the ones I remember anyway. You may find some end users with spare cables. As I have not seen any vendors selling them. Including Smarthome.
-
Do you still have the PLM's Box? There should be a Serial Cable packed inside the box. Many times hidden in the internal packing cradle. I just continuity tested one of the PLM serial cables Your chart matches my PLM quick guide and continuity tested fine. Plug your cable into the PLM end and observe the colors of the wires position. To verify they match the pin one on the left with the contacts up. Shown in the guides pin out chart.

Thank you for the information. In my case Java was at High when the upgrade installed. Maybe a left over from the previous Java as it was also set to High.

Best to wait for UDI to respond. Before saying yes to anything. I can't access Purchase Modules this morning. I get a certificate security message and asking me to abort or go ahead to the site. If I ignore the warning and go to the site. I get a UDI web server page not found message. I did get an update to Java this morning, but do not know if it is part of the problem. I now have Version 7 Update 45. 1.7.0_45b18
-
If it stays running long enough. I would try and make a new backup of your ISY setup. To be safe.
-
The new 2413S Dual Band would work fine. With one change. It does not provide DC power to the ISY99i through the serial interface cable. So if the 2412S is powering the ISY99i. You will have to add a power supply to get power back. Smarthome has a supply you can add to your order. If you decide a new PLM is needed. http://www.smarthome.com/1223PS/Univers ... ply/p.aspx The power cycling and cooling down of the 2412S. Does sound like it is on its way out.

I suspected a different daughter card. As RS485 was an optional choice and my gut said they just added the RS485 ICs connected where the TTL signals where.
