Loading the TimerCoreApp into the 2414S from PowerHome
The TimerCoreApp application must be present in the 2414S in order for the Elk M1XSP to
communicate with the 2414S. Although this application is pre-installed in many 2414S,
apparently it is not installed in all 2414S that have been shipped.
PowerHome2 can install this application into the 2414S for you. To do this you add the 2414S as
an Insteon Controller in PowerHome2.
1. Connect the 2414S (PLC) to a serial port on your PC and an AC outlet.
2. Disable your present Insteon Controller from within PowerHome by going to
PowerHome/Setup/Controllers and un-checking “Active” next to your current Insteon
controller’s name.
3. Using the PowerHome2 Wizard click on “Controller” and then “Insteon” and then “2414S”
and follow the onscreen instructions.
4. After the wizard has finished, reinitialize PowerHome2.
5. Open the Insteon Explorer and navigate to the Setup tab.
6. Under the PLC area, click Clear to clear all the IDs from the PLC’s internal database.
This is not a mandatory step, but it is suggested.
7. Click Download to download the TimerCoreApp into the PLC.
8. Click “Add Min’ this will add all the links PowerHome2 has in its database into the PLC.
This step is not mandatory for the TimerCoreApp but highly recommended and
necessary if the Elk does not accurately track status for locally controlled Insteon
devices.
9. Disconnect the 2414S from your computer and connect it to the Elk M1XSP.
