  1. Sounds like a good point. Way back machine here. Early Developers days. We where able to get modules at the wholesale distributors price but had to promise not sell them.
  2. Some versions may not have the Jumper Header. Just two solder pads where it was mounted on the PC board. In the early manuals. Was to set the reduction in sensing field. Jumper On is reduced sensitivity. The small jumper block was many times on one of the two pins on the PCB. Some have used the power connector in them to run them on an external USB power supply. They are supposed to not have to go into the power saving mode on an external supply.
  3. That also crossed my mind.
  4. Sorry to read of your experience. When you get a chance. Was it one of the old 2456S3 or presently sold 2635-222 on off module?
  5. If it is like the one never seeing the light of day in the FCC Database. It would have a larger faster Link Database; faster processor clock, more universal power supply. Like 120 220VAC 50 60Hz.
  6. Make sure the PLM is totally booted before you power up the eisy. If it is like the older ISY994i PLM detection is during its boot up.
  7. The sticker should also have a revision number on it. That also may give us information on the PLM.
  8. The 2413S and older 2412S PLM use a unique cable. RJ45 to a DB9S connector. Only three wires are used. Serial In; Serial Out; common and in a unique pin out . The other pins are different signals like TTL in and out and the older 2412S also unregulated +12VDC normally around 18.5VDC. To be safe do not connect any other wires to the RJ45 PLM serial connector. Other than the three signals the serial PLM uses.
  9. I agree. Electrician has made a incorrect statement. You need the actual voltage the lights are wired to, type of lights, maybe the current they use and the wattage. If the shop gets warm I may think of halogen or fixtures using vapor discharge. More data is needed to even see if an Insteon switch is capable of safely controlling them directly or maybe controlling a contactor to then control the lights.
  10. Actually there was a 0-10V dimmer module. That was discontinued and now one is being brought back. No info on if it is the same one or a new design.
  11. Have not seen it lately. We use to have LED bulbs that had a repetitive current spike and in rush current at startup. Manufactures gave us a figure to calculate the wattage we should use when we added up wastage to see if we where maybe overloading a dimmer switch. I remember a few said use 80 watts. 😀
  12. Adding a dual band module. In the pass trough outlet is a good move as the I/OLinc is power line only. Adding the pass through module was recommended by Smarthome and now Insteon company.
  13. Not sure if it has changed but we have seen brand new directly from Insteon modules. Having factory test links in them and a factory reset was need. Many here actually factory reset all our new modules before using them.
  14. The new PLM sounds very interesting.
  15. You are using a Polisy or eisy controller? They support the PS01. The old ISY994i does not due to last firmware released.
