October 7Oct 7 Hi there, Are there any instructions on how to install this I/O controller on an ISY994i? I have one of these but no SmartenIt brand PLM. Just an Insteon 2413S. I checked the wiki but didn't find any special notes on the installation process for this device. When you add a 2413S PLM, the ISY registers it as an "Unsupported Device". I read the lengthy post on a user's issue restoring his setup with one of these devices already.
October 7Oct 7 You are using an external wall wart to power the EZIO8SA? When you have a PLM connected to an EZIO8SA. You may see the LED on the PLM flicker as the EZIO8SA programs the PLM to identify as an EZIO8SA's Category and Subcategory as it is a EZIO8SA. Have not done on in awhile but I believe there was a separate place in the add a module list. Is that where you are trying to use it?

October 7Oct 7 I should have added more information. Except for a short while. The Smartenit PLM was a2412S PLM with a custom daughter board. It also provided a unregulated +12 volts on the cable from it to the EZIO8SA. The 2413S does not have this voltage on the cable. So the EZIO8SA has to be powered through the external power input connector. To power it. Just checked and it maybe listed as a Compacta EZIO8SA as Compacta was the original manufacturers name under Simplehomenet. You should see it in the list as a 07.04. It will still have the six digit ID of the connected PLM but ID as an EZIO8SA not as a PLM. EZIO8SA_Quick-Start.pdf Edited October 7Oct 7 by Brian H Add information
October 8Oct 8 I did a few tests. On an early production EZIO8SA. Both 2412S providing power and a 2413S with a +12VDC 500mA wall wart. With the 2412S I used the drop down list and manually picked the EZIO8SA. With the 2413S I used the Auto Detect choice. Using the PLM's six digit ID as the address. On my ISY994i. Firmware 5.3.4 Both where detected as the Compacta EZIO8SA and 8 links where added to the Control Console List. Some users here found the two analog inputs AN1 and AN2 had noise on them if not used. They are high impedance and could pick up noise. Connecting them to GND stopped the noise. Found a later quick guide. Shows both the EZIO8SA and their version PLM I tried the 1-Wire Input and a DS18B20 and did get some information back. In the Smartenit Utility. I do not think it is in the ISY controller.
