GeorgeRode Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I just got (2) 2477S Insteon switches (Rev 8.2 5228) from Smarthonme and tried to link. Was not able to, tried everyway I know how. I have an older 2477S, Rev 6.9 0415, it links without a hitch. Have Firmware and UI V5.3.0 Help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilyoyo1 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Are you getting errors? How did you try to link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeRode Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 I know of 2 ways to link. One is on the drop down menu, pick the pairing, put in the address, name the device, pick “discover” or go through a very long list to find 2477S and pick that. As it was pairing, very quickly the message would be “can’t find Insteon engine”. The other was is to put the switch in pairing more and have ISY search for it. Didn’t work. I tried on 2 new switches. Did both. Many times. BTW, I have over 40 Insteon switches in my home so the pairing is not new to me. I usually do it in my office, have made an extension cord that I hook the switch to so It’s easy. Did this in the office, close to the circuit breaker box and then in the same plug the PLM is plugged in to. None worked. I made sure that all electrical interference items were off, fluoresce lights were off. Tried many times. Put a older 2477S switch, it paired in the office the first time.

As per @lilyoyo1, all new Insteon devices need to be factory reset. One never knows what condition they are in when the arrive new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian H Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 A factory reset is recommended for all newly purchased Insteon Modules. It is possible it got shipped with some test links in it and was not reset at the factory. A factory reset clears out any stray links and setting in it.

GeorgeRode Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 Did the factory reset, Disconnect your Wall Switch or Keypad from power by pulling the set button out Press and hold the set button Continue holding the set button until the beep stops If your device does not beep, hold the set button for ten seconds Release the set button. You should hear two beeps confirming that your Wall Switch or Keypad has been reset Heard the 2 beeps, Still get "Cannot determine Insteon Engine". on both switches. Kind of strange, when I called Smarthone tech service, made it real clear they do not support Universal -Devices... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try manually linking the 2 devices to see if they look that way. If they do, then you know there is nothing wrong with the device I'm not surprised customer support said they do not support the isy. UDI is a 3rd party system. When they had the support team in Irvine, many of them had isy's themselves which allowed them to learn how to use it. With them outsourcing customer support, they simply aren't on the same level. Besides basic support, they're worthless. Insteon took 100 steps back with that move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeRode Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 I can link the two switches together without a problem. Also I can put x-10 address in them without problem. Keep in mind, I have an older 2477S, Rev 6.9 0415, it links without a hitch. I think that shows communication is happening in my environment The ISY is just not communicating with this newer version, Rev 8.2 5228 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian H Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 If you have not tried it yet. You may want to open the Event Viewer in Level 3. Then try the process and see what the messages show. You should also be able to save the results in the Clipboard. So you can look at them more and maybe also post here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try your pigtail method on a different area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeRode Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 I have tried the pigtail in 3 areas, in my office, by the panel and then next to the PLM, none worked. My $.02 worth, it's a problem with the ISY not being able to communicate with the newest version of these switches. The ISY works fine with my older switch as stared above.
