MMarcus Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 My PLM died. I have an ISY and cannot get it to communicate or run scenes. I am not very tech savvy. We have over 60 Insteon switches. I do not want to replace them. Can you control them with the Smartthings or Wink hub ?

We have over 60 Insteon switches. I do not want to replace them. Can you control them with the Smartthings or Wink hub ? There are several threads on this topic. Your best bet is to purchase the USB PLM, open it and the dead PLM up, and swap the daughter boards. This option is reasonably easy and doesn't require soldering. There's also the option of replacing the capacitors themselves but that required perhaps more tech savviness and the ability to solder which is a learned skill. Third although it's a little bit early in the product life. The ISY-994 is being combined with Polisy on the Polisy hardware. ISY on Polisy supports the USB PLM. ISY on Polisy is still being developed and is in it's alpha stages, although there are several posters in this forum that have "moved over" and retired their ISY-994 hardware. I'd pick option 1 for now, eventually you'll probably want to move to ISY on Polisy, but that's another day.... 1

MMarcus Posted November 30, 2021 Author Posted November 30, 2021 Does the Aeotec Hub Work with the Insteon Switches without an ISY ?
