Sunday at 07:29 PM3 days I just attempted to switch PLMs. I went from a 2413S to a 2413U. I am using EISY and everything is up-to-date. Although the administrative console recognized my Insteon devices, it would not communicate with them until I individually relinked them. Unfortunately, I have a few micro switches which are very labor-intensive to access in order to be able to relink them. From previous posts, it appears that in making this transition the Insteon devices should be automatically reconnected. Are there any special steps to take to be able to accomplish that?

Sunday at 07:34 PM3 days Battery powered Insteon devices don't relink automatically. You have to put them in linking mode and restore them one by one.

Does it Show up under tools | diagnostics with a new modem is attached? Right now, I can't find it anywhere. Or is that "restore PLM"? Edited Sunday at 07:46 PM3 days by Ed Sybesma

Right now, I can't find it anywhere. Or is that "restore PLM"?Yes it’s called Restore PLM in the admin console and there are steps as I recall to power off eISY, replace the actual PLM and then to run Restore PLM. It then goes through each device and replaces the PLM address in all your devices including battery operated but have to wake them up to process the changes.However if you’ve done part of it manually, you may want to open a ticket and consult UD to get advice on next steps.

Monday at 05:23 PM2 days Author Even after resetting my new PLM to factory settings and starting over, the Restore PLM command and the Replace Modem PLM instructions did not do the trick for me, but I did find a very convenient workaround: Querying the modules triggered the green 1011 “waiting for updates to be written” flag and then using the “Write updates to device” option got my devices linked. But thanks to hart2hart and Techman for their input which might have saved me that extra effort if I had started with it the first time.
