I seem to be the only one with problems with the 2412 (but none with 2414) and after a lot testing (and relinking) I'm thinking my 2412 may be off. But the 2412 support is beta so, do you think the next release will help with the reliability? Is that even plausible? Or do I call my 2412 a dud and replace it?
The next release fixes a few minor 2412 issues, but it won't help with the type of no ack errors you are seeing. I've seen those before during group cleanup commands when the receiving module doesn't have a link for that particular PowerLinc Group/Scene. So try to do a full re-sync of one of the responding modules that isn't responding correctly to see if that helps. Maybe even a factory reset of the remote module, then re-sync.
The other possibility, as you mention, is that your PowerLinc 2412 is malfunctioning. But if it works most of the time or it is only specific modules that are not working, then I suspect that isn't the case. It might be the case that the signal strength (or receiving sensitivity) of the 2412 is slightly less than that of the 2414. If you have INSTEON signal problems or your INSTEON network is just borderline reliable with the 2414, then maybe a subtle change in the 2412 signal strength is causing it to drop below the threshold of reliability.
