I am trying to add the 2635-222 and it comes back as it can't find the insteon engine.  the address is 40.02.30 and i can't understand because:

this unit worked at my other house that has a ton of insteon products, both using 994/IR pro 5.0.14.

I have added a few other insteon items this fall including the outdoor module and installed ok.  Using a Fluke 125B scope so i can see the signal and it is good, no noise.

Have filterlincs all over the place, phase couplers, range extenders, etc.  factory reset the 2635

below is the level 3 event viewer for trying to add:

The Event Viewer indicates that the device is responding to the ISY.  And those responses are consistently the same so I don't think this is a communication problem.  The Event Viewer makes it look like you used the "Link Management>New INSTEON Device" menu option, and typed in the address of the device, but I can't tell if you used "Auto Discover" as the "Device Type".  If you did, I'd suggest specifying the exact device type:

i got the address correct.  i even took another 2635-222 out of the outlet that has worked well for a couple of years and put this one in it's place and tried to link it and it doesn't work

i tried new insteon device using the address and model number, same problem

did the linking on the isy admin console and then holding the set button until long beep, same problem

i bought a new 2635-222 and it would not add to my isy at this house, same problem as listed previously.  so i took it to my other house and that isy (same everything) it recognized it no problem so i took a 2635 from that house and brought it here so i know it has worked for a while.  i did try a number of times on the linking video and that's how i got the event viewer log

the problem continues with this one.  it's almost like this isy won't recognize new versions of the 2635-222.

The error message indicates a communications problem between the PLM and the DEVICE

Take a look at this video troubleshooting video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMx5yHTU2g4

That video doesn't apply to the OP's problem.  You'll note early in the video, Steve mentions that the PLM is not receiving any SRX records.  If you look at the OP's Event Viewer log, you'll see SRX records.  The device is clearly talking to the PLM.  The issue is that the ISY doesn't seem to understand the device's response.

You can see the ISY try twice to link with the device, and each time the responses contain exactly the same data.  If there were a communication problem, either there would be no responses, or you would expect the responses to be different because of line noise.  That's not happening.  So it seems like the ISY really can't determine the device's Insteon Engine from the response it's getting from the device.

What ISY firmware and UI are you running?

The device is compatible with 4.7.3 ISY firmware.

Do a factory reset on the module then ty plugging into a different outlet. Don't press the set button on the module, just enter the modules address into the ISY and then try linking

It might also be helpful to know what version your PLM is at each house, as well as how old they are.  Just use "Tools>Diagnostics>PLM Info/Status" to get the version.

the plm are a couple of years old (that's all they last for me) and i use to have a spare for when it goes but don't now.

it is v2.1

i did the factory reset a couple times on the 2635, have tried numerous outlets including the same on the plm is plugged into

isy is 5.0.14

If it fails to manually link to a SwitchLinc then the device is faulty and SH will replace it under warranty. They will not replace it if you haven't tested it that way.
I use an extension cord cut in half and wire-nut the switch into the middle, hot and neutral with no load connected, plug the On/Off module in the socket, also connected to hot and neutral, then plug it in the wall. That's as good as you are going to get communications.

Sat 02/09/2019 07:15:09 PM : [40 2 30 0   ] Failed to add device, reason 3

Above is my analysis of your linking attempt.  It appears that messages between the PLM and On/OFF Module are getting through without a problem.  Here are the steps represented in the Event Viewer:

  • ISY asks the Device about its INSTEON Engine
  • Device replies that it doesn't recognize the address of the PLM
  • ISY tells the device to enter linking mode
  • Devices says OK
  • ISY tells the device to add the PLM address to its DB
  • Device says OK
  • ISY tells device to exit linking mode
  • ISY asks the Device about its INSTEON Engine
  • Devices again replies that it doesn't recognize the address of the PLM
  • ISY asks the Device about its INSTEON Engine
  • Devices still replies that it doesn't recognize the address of the PLM
  • ISY gives up

I can't quite tell from your posts exactly what you've tried, but here's what I think you've tried:

  • Bought a 2635-222 and it wouldn't link at house #1 (tried three different ways - with address & auto discover, with address & device type, without address but actually pressing SET on device - and you've tried plugging this device into outlets that worked before as well as the same outlet as the PLM)
  • Bought a second 2635-222 and it also wouldn't link at house #1
  • Took the second 2635-222 to house #2 and it linked without problem
  • Brought back a 2635-222 that has been working at house #2.  What did you do with this device?  Were you able to link it at house #1?

I don't think the issue is with the ISY.  It can only react to the messages that it receives and according to the Event Viewer it never receives a message that tells it the device's INSTEON Engine.  So it would seem either the PLM or the On/Off Module are at fault.

It can't hurt to try Sub-Routine's suggestion to try manually linking a Switch to the On/Off Module.  But based on your experience having a new On/Off Module that won't link at house #1 but will link at house #2, my guess is that the Switch will successfully link to the On/Off Module.  And if that's the case, then Smarthome won't let you return it.  Then I guess your next move would be to contact UD support and have them look at your Event Viewer results.

thanks for everyones input, i am going to order a new plm and use this one as a spare.  see if that works.  btw  i got my isy z wave module for this house today to build out the locks and some other items and even though the process takes a little longer it is solid.

Got my new plm 2413s today it is ver 2.4 versus my old one which was v2.1

after getting it set up i was able to add the 2635-222 easy on the first time.

nothing else changed, it was the modem.
