Teken Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 It looks like the old MorningLinc chassis has finally been updated as seen here: http://www.smarthome.com/insteon-2862-222-lock-controller.html For what ever reason I was hoping something new would be included or updated with this device. It appears to me the features and operations remain the same? Anyone who has one of the older units please chime in when you get a chance to review the spec sheet and users manual located here: http://cache-m2.smarthome.com/manuals/2862-222-en-07092015-v2.pdf I do however love the use of the new style body of the unit when compared to the massive brick from previous generations. My hopes are that we will see the I/O Linc to be replaced with a dual band unit with more capacity, features, and programming options.
Brian H Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 It does look like it has basically the same features of the older one. In a more modern style case. There are a few errors on the sales page. Says power line only as I expected but also lists the 915MHz RF but Beacon test No. The FCC ID: SDFRF01. Is not an Insteon FCC ID. It is a key fob type MorningLinc remote. Using 434.0 MHz RF. I would think. Eventually Smartlabs will have to get their own FCC ID as it probably uses 434.0MHz RF to the MorningLinc Locks.

I was really hoping they would take the time to offer more International devices such as this Lock Controller for our brothers across the pond. Its been several years now and there has been no movement in adding more supported devices for them? There are so many people around the world that really want to use and implement Insteon. Yet, Smartlabs continues to drag their feet in this area. How can you become a world leader in Home Automation and have fast adoption when your wares aren't even available for purchase?
Brian H Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 I did see it has a new Insteon ID. Same Device Category 0F but a new Subcategory of 0A. Guess it may have to be added to the ISY Controller firmware of recognized Insteon Devices.

Michel Kohanim Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Hello everyone, I really do not know why this is done without us being notified. And we do have the latest documentation. The way things are going, it seems that we'll never have an official 4.x release! Can anyone please confirm the 0x0A subcategory for the new MorningLinc? With kind regards, Michel
Michel Kohanim Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Hi kc4mne, It's already fixed. Hopefully we should have a firmware release by the end of this week. With kind regards, Michel

djboombox Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Hi, Any news ? My deadbolt is still waiting. He want to be present to my ISY ! He told me ! DjBoomBoX
Michel Kohanim Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Hi djboombox, Apologies... decided to squeeze in a few more 5.0 features and 4.3 bug fixes. It's imminent. If you cannot wait please send an email to support@universal-devices.com and we'd be delighted to send you a link to semi tested version of 4.3.x. With kind regards, Michel
