Teken Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Any update as to availability? UDI has received 5 of the test units and are testing them right now. ETA is still Q1 of 2015.
Teken Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Thanks. Can't wait! Its safe to say you and the other 99999999999 ISY owners are eager to purchase.
haroldunger Posted December 1, 2014 Author Posted December 1, 2014 Wow, UD is a bigger company than I previously thought!

Michel Kohanim Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I have to make a correction: it's 1000000000000. Of course, that's after we take over NEST . With kind regards, Michel
haroldunger Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 I wonder how Google will feel about that. Or, is Google an acquisition target, too?
paulbates Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Its safe to say you and the other 99999999999 ISY owners are eager to purchase. Att first I thought that might be a future version of the isy... 999999999994i Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Michel Kohanim Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Hello all, Actually, our next hardware rev is 99999999999999999995! With kind regards, Michel
Xathros Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Hi Michel- On a more serious note, can you give a rough estimate/roadmap on the rollout plan for the new PLM? Any pictures of what it might look like? Aside from using reliable parts, what else is different about the UDI PLM that differentiates it from the SH PLM? Am I asking too many questions? -Xathros
Michel Kohanim Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Hi Xathros, We have gotten 5 boards that we are trying to bring up. The roadmap is to get these units burned in and stress tested to make sure nothing is going to fail. Once that's done, we are going to go for a prototype run of about 1000 and then production. I have no pictures that I would like to share. The difference with SmartHome PLM: 1. Firmware wise, nothing 2. Hardware wise, many things related to the power circuitry and stability With kind regards,Michel
haroldunger Posted December 3, 2014 Author Posted December 3, 2014 Michel, Thanks. I really can't wait. (Oops, that might start the comment cycle again!) Harold
Quasmo Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 I know that Insteon essentially has a choke hold on their hardware. Are you essentially taking apart an Insteon PLM and upgrading the electronic parts and then repackaging it?
Brian H Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 There own designed PLM. Using a licensed PLM firmware from Smarthome/Smartlabs. So same PLM firmware as a 2413S PLM but their own electronics design.
Teken Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 I don't recall if anyone posed this question before so here goes. 1. Will the new UDI PLM have a stronger and longer RF range? If so what is the range? 2. Surge Protection: Will this new UDI PLM have at least 1000 volts protection? 3. RF / Power Line: Will this new UDI PLM have the ability to turn off one or the other or both? As many of the newer Insteon devices have this ability now. This would prove helpful in trouble shooting and on the rare occasions allows those who want to use it in RF only mode or reduce their RF environment. 4. PSU: As it has been stated before the UDI made PLM will have a better parts and will address the bad caps issue. But wanted to know if this new PLM will also be more efficient. The current PLM uses about 1.45 - 2.50 watts, what is the energy consumption of this new design. It would be great to see the specs now given its pending release is immanent.
Michel Kohanim Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Hi Teken, 1. No 2. What does this mean? 3. I haven't seen this command in PLM APIs so I very much doubt it 4. It should be around the same With kind regards, Michel
Brian H Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 2. Some of the new modules indicate they can handle 1000 volt surge but do not indicate the wattage of the surge it can safely absorb. While the new HUB II says it can handle a 1000 watt surge but does not indicate what the highers surge voltage can be. I have seen no safe energy absorption in Joules for any Insteon devices.
Quasmo Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Will this device help with latency issues between the ISY and the Insteon network?
Xathros Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 No. In that respect it should be identical to the SH PLM. Poor Insteon network performance is attributed to noise or signal attenuation on the power line. There are many threads here about how to track down and correct signal quality problems. -Xathros
smokegrub Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Is there an update on the availability of the PLM?
LeeG Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 UDI stated the initial 5 PLMs are ready but cannot release them until the All On symptom is resolved. The UDI PLM uses the existing SmartLabs PLM firmware which either has to be corrected or proven not part of the All On problem.
paulbates Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I'm eager too, but I totally respect the the quality sentiment of "not shipping unit there are no known problems". Especially problems as significant as "All ons" are. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
