I got my replacement caps today from an ebay seller. Spent a few extra bucks for the curation of them rather than going straight to Digikey. Now I'm not so sure it was the right thing to day. Two of the caps have significantly bumped voltages which I thought was an issue for powerline signal reliability: C3 - 6.8 µF 250 v (replacement is 450 v).C11 - 100 µF 25 v (replacement is 50 v) Is this ok?

So it sounds like this is a "replace PLM" process rather than just a restore and would require placing all battery operated Insteon devices into programming mode to update the links since the board with the caps is also the board that has the Insteon address for the PLM?

Does anyone know if I can swap a board from my new 2.6 to my 2.5? Which board has the address of the PLM? The big one with the caps or the small one with the RJ45 jack? Hopefully the small one?

Ordered yesterday. Shipped today. Should be here by Tuesday.

Thanks. I ordered a new one. I also ordered multiple sets of caps for the 2.4-2.6 versions. I guess cap failure on their power supply redesign was a thing, just not a soon as the old design. I still have my previous failed PLM which appears to be a 2.4. The caps look to be through hole, so they should be pretty easy to replace. I won't even attempt surface mount.

I'd reply to one of the many existing threads about this but can't because they've all been archived...which is why there are so many threads. I believe 2.5 is the last version made by Smarthome before they went belly up. It's been since I got it but 3 times in 2 weeks tells me I'm in trouble. Has anyone had a 2.5 memory failure yet? Is there any point in rebuilding the power supply? I heard a rumor that new ones might be available again soon.

Did you actually read my post? Apparently whomever decided to nuke the other 7 leds didn't realize that the on/off switches can be be used as REMOTE dimmers.

Does the new on/off switchlinc work with the older switches? https://shop.insteon.com/products/on-off-switch The fact that this new one only has 2 leds for on/off worries me that it may not work correctly. All the old on/off switches still had the full led array for level since they can and are often used as remote dimmers for the switches actually carrying the loads.

The main downside to that is that it requires your internet to be up. Switches going on and off when they're supposed to within my house based on other triggering events without my house MUST not rely on WAN.

Confused. So are they or are they not working with the kasa nodelink server? I just ordered a 4 pack of the EP10 but then just canceled the order when I saw this thread.
