Unable to initialize Insteon adapter

john.cafagna · 08-12-2018, 11:06 PM

My USB Insteon Modem just stopped being initialized by HAL at startup. This will be the third in three years that has failed. Anyone else have this problem or a solution to save me $80 per year? I reset the modem physically, I reinstalled it in Windows (I can see it in the device manager), HAL just can no longer initialize it... UGGH!

According to others and personal experience, the USB Insteon Modem usually fails around a year after purchasing, I have too have purchased 3 in three years and finally gave up on ALL Insteon products all together. Went back to the old X-10 modules that I have had for over 20 years and they still have not failed me yet.
