resending previous command (busy or unexpected command)
I've tried multiple things to troubleshoot the problem but all with no luck. To the best of my recollection, here's what I've tried so far (not in this order).
- Plugging the PowerLinc 2412U into a different USB port (I'm not using a hub)
Unplugging the PowerLinc and then plugging it back in
Swapping USB cables
Plugging the PowerLinc into another outlet (with an extension cord)
Updating Indigo server to 6.1.4
Replacing the PowerLinc 2412U with a new PowerLinc 2413U (I'll return it if I can definitely rule this one out.)
Adding FilterLincs to my unfiltered UPSs (I had added my third unfiltered UPS to my home in December and have been fine until now.)
And here is an excerpt from my log file.

At this point, the "resending previous command" error would just repeat until my window was full of that message. I'd also get a dialog box that read
Failed to establish connection or open serial port to interface. Make sure the correct interface type and port are chosen in the Preferences dialog and that the serial device or adapter are plugged in correctly.
Note that there were no errors for about 10 minutes before they started flooding my log file. I made sure not to touch any switches during the time captured above.
It seems like there's a breakdown in communication between Indigo and the PowerLinc (rather than a problem with the INSTEON devices/network), but I'm not sure what else to try. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Paul
