Just for fun: lowest Insteon ID?

[Guy Lavoie]

Let's see who the early adopters are. Given that Insteon device IDs are sequential numbers that began almost 20 years ago, what is the lowest device ID that you have, and when did you get it?

In my case, I had signed up for the "development kit" when Insteon was introduced, and bought a couple of Icon switches, a 2414S PLC, and a lamp module. Among those four, the lowest is an Icon switch with 01.43.1A. The other three devices also start with 01.

Were there ever any devices starting with 00?

What is the range of currently produced devices?

The lowest address I've got "in service" is 05.94.E5 and it belongs to the EZRain/EZFlora Irrigation Controller. But, in the Insteon storage box in the closest are some way older Icon devices. I'm pretty sure I got rid of the X10s.

Edit:

Just checked the closet and the lowest address is 00.4C.E8 for a LampLinc V2 #2456D2

I sold my last house last year with the ISY. The oldest devices I had were inlinelincs and Icon switches from 2006/2007 with low addresses but no way to remember what they were.  I moved my Christmas decorations, and in the box were 2 lamplincs v2s, 01.86.xx and 01.87.xx... still in service in the new house and work fine.

Moving forward, I started this house about a year ago with a new eisy and new insteon devices. The range of newly purchased devices is: 47.xx.xx to 70.xx.xx

2476S original.
Still worked but I replaced with zwave switch. I have several in this range no longer using. 
First Insteon I got in 2005 - still have receipt.

They're nearing the halfway mark! I remember a text interview from a HA website with Smarthome back when Insteon was introduced, and one of the questions was about how the device ID scheme allowed for up to 16.7 million devices, and if they were afraid to run out. The response was "we'd be happy to sell that many!"

There where a set of special numbers. Used on the Developers Group modules. So the programs for Dock Light Evaluation they gave us. Would work for all the kits. 2412S or 2412U PLM and other modules all had the same six digit ID number. Examplet the Developers LampLinc was 11.11.11

You probably guessed. Two developers in the same room. Stepped on each other.

Many of my original modules where 00. for the first two byte of the address. Some still in use.

That puts you in the lead!

From the Developers days and 2414 PLC (not PLM) days.
