Kentinada Posted November 28, 2022 Posted November 28, 2022 I have a lamplinc in a scene for my master bedroom lights. Scene turns on via Alexa. When I turn it off, the lamplinc flashes on and off. I looked at the lamplinc in Mobilinc HD and it shows it flashing on/off too. What is the issue?
Kentinada Posted November 28, 2022 Author Posted November 28, 2022 I thought I asked this question before. I did! I'll try replacing the bulb but from this earlier thread, I may not totally fix it. Stay tuned.
Kentinada Posted November 28, 2022 Author Posted November 28, 2022 So I replaced the rev 1.33 lamplinc with a newer one and it works. Anyway to update firmware in these lamplinc's?
Brian H Posted November 28, 2022 Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) No way for you to reprogram the module. It does have a programming connector but you need a programmer to do it and the needed programming code was with Smartlabs and I imagine the new owners now. If it was dual band. Then it has two programming connectors. One for the RF controller and one for the main controller. It is possible the electronics in it has an issue or their was an upgrade to the circuits themselves. Was it 2456D power line only or the 2457D dual band model?

Maybe email Insteon Support (support@insteon.com) and see what they can help with. As @Brian H says probably not something a consumer can do, but perhaps it could be sent in for flashing if possible at all.
Brian H Posted November 28, 2022 Posted November 28, 2022 Some brand LED bulbs do not play nice with Insteon dimmers. Some users have reported flashing that was corrected with a different brand and model LED bulb. Firmware probably would not fix the issue. Some models had hardware changes in them like a different coil in the output to try and correct it. In different revisions of a module.

It is a 2457D dual band device. I did not try a different bulb since the newer device solved the problem but I’ll remember that idea in case I need the older device again. Thanks!
