Hi,
I have a perplexing problem with 2 Fanlinc controllers and 2431u PowerLinc controller. A phase bridge is installed in the breaker panel. They have been intermittent at best over the last two years with typically all failed communication when 'test communications' was used.
The fans are located in a high valted ceiling, so difficult to get to. Today, I decided to do a factory reset throughout and re-initialize the FanLinc controllers and the PLM. Uninstalled the two FanLinc controllers in Homeseer, reset the PLM (held set button in after pluggin in until beeping stopped) and hard reset the FanLinc (most difficult and it took many tries with the Factory reset pattern of pushes and beeps). The debug code below was just for the PLM. After a couple of hours of trials, the FanLinc responded to the manual Add process from the Insteon plug-in. Both light and Fan devices were created and show errors. The plug-in shows no communications between Homeseer / PPLM / Fanlinc.
How do I determine where lies the problem? Is the PLM or FanLinc dead, or is there a link database error?
Are there any tools for determining Insteon pathways and checking devices?
House wiring is relatively new (25 yrs) and sound, so there will be no transmission errors. Lamps throughout the house are either compact fluorescent or LED.
As the system has worked on and off, sometimes for a couple of days at a time, I think it is hardware?
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Steve
