You are not alone. I missed the ID label stuck inside a RemoteLinc.

Are you maybe thinking of the 2244-223 Automation Controller Kit originally sold through Best Buy. That I believe is discontinued and showing up in places like eBay. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/INSTEON+-+S ... ID=1987080 There is a thread over on the Smarthome Forums related to the 2244-223 Kit. As to what exactly was in the kit controller wise.

If the generator is not a pure sine wave output. It can drive some automation modules crazy or in extreme situations. Damage their power supplies.

You probably set it to never go to sleep. I would expect a very short battery life. Good luck and keep us informed.

If you don't have the 2413S connected to the ISY994i. It is in a protective mode and choices are not avilable. Try it with the 2413S PLM connected.

Is the old PLM the 2412S or the Dual band 2413S? If it is the 2412S I would think it maybe best to replace it. As for the 2443 Access Points. They are probably OK. I actually found in an informal test. My older V1.6 ones with the power transformer. Have a stronger RF signal than my newer V2.5 ones do.

Installing the Access Points is a good idea. Use the built in communications test to verify communications with each other and on opposite phases of the home. Access points are not installed into My Lighting as a module.

3. Some users have their ISY99i/ISY994i power supply on an UPS. The PLM still should be powered by a standard AC outlet. Not on an UPS or filtered surge strip. As they absorb most Insteon and X10 power line signals as noise. I have my ISY994i power supply on my UPS. The UPS is on the filtered outlet of a FilterLinc to prevent its internal line filters from absorbing Insteon signals. The PLM is in the front unfiltered outlet on the FilterLinc.

Here is one way. There are probably other ways. Note the internal sensor has to be replaced by the external one as there is no way to get the external sensors readings sent to the ISy controller. viewtopic.php?f=26&t=9833

The front outlet on the FilterLinc is not filtered. So it should not block the PLM's power line signals. That is exactly how my setup is. UPS in bottom filtered outlet and the PLM in the unfiltered pass through outlet on the front.

Without the PLM connected. The ISY994i goes into a safe mode. You can't use a backup and restore to the ISY994i alone. It has to be on the PLM and then you restore it from your last ISY99i backup.

There are a few threads on Kapersky in this section of the forums. You may find some added data there. viewforum.php?f=3

LeeG; Doesn't the RS-485 option for the EZIComm add the signals to the RJ45 I/O Jack and the RS-232 signals are still there? The users manual seems to indicate that some normally unused pins and the TTL signal pins are removed or reused. When RS-485 was added.

Many of their devices are built on the Base PLM they get from Smartlabs and then add their own daughter cards.

I use Zone Alarm and in my case. The ISY994i's IP address had to be added to the Trusted Zone. I also had problems with Avast as LeeG mentioned.

Yes, no Universal Power PLM is a big bummer. It looks like they are going the cloud based smart phone apps and HouseLinc route. With the HUB. I doubt it would be that hard for the Smartlabs Engineers to rework the HUB for PLM use. Only thing I can think of. Insteon signals start before Zero Crossing and the PLM has to calculate from the last Zero Crossing to start a power line command. 50 cycles messes up all the timing. X10 starts from Zero Crossing and there is an off chance even at 50 cycles it was able to send a command.

The ISY994i has to be connected to a PLM. It will not work with the HUB and if the PLM can not communicate with each of the Insteon Modules. It can't add them to the PLMs database and see their commands.

I may have not been clear. I doubt the Insteon RF commands from the PLM will work. Still using the 50 cycles for timing. The PLM does not send any X10 RF commands. Some X10 folks have bridged the primary and secondary of a 220 volt to 120 volt transformer with an AC rated capacitor. Again 50 cycles is the problem. With a PLM. The 100-240 volt Dual Band devices. Probably will communicate with each other as they adjust to 60 or 50 cycle power.

The reason X10 works and the PLMs Insteon commands don't work is signal timing. X10 times everything from Zero Crossing where the AC swings through zero. Insteon starts 800 microseconds before Zero Crossing to 1023 microseconds after Zero Crossing. The PLM is timed to use 60 cycles and as LeeG pointed out will not function correctly on 50 cycles. Some of the latest universal power Insteon Dual Band Modules. Like the 2443-222. Can run on 100-240 volts and auto detect 50 or 60 cycles. Unfortunately the PLM is not one of them. Since X10 modules use Zero Crossing as their start of signal timing. They will, most likely, still function on 50 cycles. Just all the messages take longer to complete. I would also suspect. What ever you are using to drop the 220 volts to 120 volt for the PLM. Is blocking or severely deteriorating the PLMs power line signals. You maybe strictly using the RF Insteon signals to another Dual Band Device.

How is the 2443-222 wired to 220 volts and the load? 220 Volts 50 or 60 cycles?

Was a communications failure with the device. My old I1 ApplianceLincs every once and awhile just go stupid. Giving me a few red ! displays. You could have tried right clicking on the red ! device and try a query or one of the diagnostic tests that also show with the right click. Removing and reinstalling may not have been needed. If the 2477D was locked up. You may have been able to just pull out the Air Gap Switch. Wait maybe thirty seconds. Push the Air Gap switch back to its normal position. Just not all the way in or you will do a factory reset. Than a query of the device.

A member of the Smarthome Forums is doing a Fanlinc in a Casablanca Fan with digital controls. I believe they where going to have to remove the controls to use the Fanlinc. In their case. There was a motor running capacitor on the control board. That has to be moved so it is connected directly to the motors wires. Capacitor also would determine direction. Depending on which of the two individual windings had the Line on it and the other just the cap between them. http://www.smarthome.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=10229

Do you have a 2412S PLM that supplies power to the ISY99i or a 2413S PLM and an external power supply for the ISY99i? Are both the ISY99i and PLM power cycled?

How new is the PLM? Is it the presently being sold 2413S or the previous 2412S model? Your PLM could be going bad. What firmware is in the PLM? Tools Tab PLM Info/Status should give you the PLMs firmware version.

When you replace the internal sensor in the 2441ZTH with the external probe. As jmed999 did. You are limited by what the 2441ZTH's hardware can do. It has a high limit in the mid 120 degrees F range. So the choices in the ISY console. Are probably close to the top limit. Since the external probe information is almost nonexistent in the 2441ZTH Developers Guide. It is very possible that it can go higher on the external input and I was incorrect. I believe there is no way at present to read the external probe data into the ISY controller. The CAI webcontrol board sounds like a good way to go.
