Insteon 2412N Hub

[Smile4yourself]

I received this device with an evaluation kit when I first tested a few Insteon devices and found them to work quite well within the distances of my current house.

 

I then decided to buy the ISY994i from Universal Devices and a number of other Insteon devices. The 2412N is not recognized by the ISY994i but wondered if it was good for something. Maybe someone has modified one to make a dual-band bridge. ?

 

Will plugging it into my new network with the ISY cause problems or help transmissions?

 

Your advice is appreciated,

The 2412N is the discontinued SmartLinc which was not Dual Band.

 

The 2242-222 is the Hub.

 

Which device are you discussing?

The device in front of me has "2412N REV 3.0 1237" on a small square label. The large Insteon label has Model 2442-232 (CORRECTED) under the large "INSTEON" label.

 

Sorry for the previous typo (now fixed). It was purchased from Canad Computers under the Insteon Number 2244-333 (Insteon Starter Kit) and included a hub, Range Extender, and Dimmer Module.

"The large Insteon label has Model 2442-222 under the large "INSTEON" label."

 

Sorry, I have no idea what you have as the 2442-222 is the Micro Dimmer Module

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.

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.

I contacted Insteon today via their chat tool, and told them I had an Insteon device with two different numbers on it: a 2242-232 and a 2412N Rev 3.0

 

This was their reply:

 

[J.T.] I believe the 232 was a an earlier device which was basically a powerline-only hub, basically a software upgrade on a smartlinc where its the smartlinc (2412n) casing, but the internal workings are the hub, but it's powerline only, not dual band, like the 2242-422 which was a dual band version of the hub in the smartlinc box

 

They also told me that it was not a dual-band device, and could not be used for anything in my current configuration.

We can close this issue now. Thanks for your help.
