The link syncing commands are more susceptible to range and noise problems, so try plugging the PowerLinc into different outlets/circuits using an extension cord to see if you can get it to fully sync.

Re: Trying to add an Insteon Micro module dimmer(Dual Band)

I am using one of those USB thumb drives as my PowerLinc is dead AGAIN! Insteon has really been kind of lame one that front. The central piece of there system is aged and lame, and dies every 24 moths or so. I suppose it's a nice replacement business for them,

I did eventually get this to sync however ;~)

Now I am seeing the same behavior I saw before with my InlineLinc with sense. I spent some time up on a ladder and it looks like the motion sensor isn't properly passing 120V. It hover in the 30V range without motion and then jumps into the 57V range when there is motion.

Ordered a new motion sensor module...
