Thanks for the list of standalone capabilities for the 2414 and Indigo 3. Do you have a capability list for the 2414 and Indigo 1.8? I tried the demo version of 1.8 (w/o hardware) and was unsure exactly what was supported or not in upload mode.

My primary interest is to run the 2414 standalone, and Indigo 3 is a bit too pricey for doing some simple programs and an upload.

I want to control a pair of Insteon dimmer switches, on a time schedule. I may add something like return to half bright after 30 minutes if the switches are manually brought to full bright. If this experiment with Insteon turns out well, then I may add some other switches in the future. But I don't plan on running Indigo very often, so I need the 2414 to run the show on it's own.

Thanks.

Only Indigo 2.0 and 3.0 (3.0 is a free upgrade for 2.0 customers) supports uploading to the PowerLinc 2414U. Adding upload support to the PowerLinc 2414U was one of the big features in 2.0, and thus one of the reasons for the price increase.

Unfortunately, this type of logic cannot be uploaded to the PowerLinc 2414U. The PowerLinc 2414U only supports very basic Time/Date Actions and Trigger Actions. Delayed actions (like return to 50% brightness after 30 minues) cannot be run by the PowerLinc in standalone mode. You'll have to leave Indigo running for that type of automation logic.

Can I get and load firmware for a Powerlinc 2414U. Indigo 4.1 is telling me I need firmware vs 8.5 or higher. HELP...running Mac G4 mirror doors.

Indigo only requires firmware version 8.5 or higher for the PowerLinc 2412, not the 2414. Which version do you have?

And is your other forum thread post you said 2414U. Did you mean 2412U in that post as well? Indigo 2.0 doesn't support the 2412U, so it must be a 2414U, right? Do you have both PowerLinc models?

Hi, I am running Indigo 4.1 with a 2412U - that's bad? It is the only modem I own.

In your other forum thread post you said:

I used to use Indigo 2 on my power Mac G4, mirror door. No problems

Which PowerLinc were you using back with Indigo 2?

Indigo requires firmware version 8.5 or higher when using the PowerLinc 2412U (but not the 2414U). You have to get a replacement PowerLinc with a newer firmware version. Unfortunately, the firmware is not user upgradable.

The 2412 is the only unit I've used and it worked with vs2..
So is the wisest move for me now to get a new 2414U or to upgrade the 2412?

You should get your 2412U replaced with a newer version.

it is impossible that you successfully used the 2412U with Indigo 2.0. Support for it wasn't added until Indigo 4.0. The 2412U didn't even exist when Indigo 2.0 was released.

May 27, 06 I purchased the 2414. Sometime later, they had a software plus device offer when HouseLinc 2 was released. I think it was a swap out at that time. So you are right (which you already knew ) My memory was dazed on that one....
I will get the updated 2412 and hopefully fix all my problems. Thank's for hanging in w/me.

Gotcha, that would explain things. Get a new 2412U and you should be set with Indigo 4.0.
