Powerline Noise Filter

I used a FilterLinc to isolate the power adapter for my Universal Devices Polisy device from the power line. My PLM is piggybacked on the pass-through (unfiltered) plug on the face of the FilterLinc.

Insteon signal failures have reduced significantly, from many per day to one or two per week. The power adapter (black unit in the photo) apparently was noisy enough to create a lot of problems.

noise filter fixed my interference issue with my switches from house to barn. Put a new powered speaker in barn for Christmas and it interfered with signal between the 2 switches. After trouble shooting with Insteon tech narrowed it down to speaker. Installed filter on speaker plug and walla! All worked normal again.

Pricey but stopped my massive iterferance from my microwave. only 4 Star for price.

One power filter works the other popped and smoked and didn’t work. Can I return it and get a replacement?

Effective at blocking powerline noise from switching power supplies -- both in-line and wall wart.

The biggest advantage is the flexibility to have a switch where you need it. Home owners no longer need to be restricted to the arbitrary decisions electricians make when installing a j box.

I recently purchased a robo vacuum cleaner that interfered with my X10 devices on the same house circuit. The X10 branded plug-in noise filters would not work because the current rating was to low :-( The Insteon power rating was more than sufficient. I like the fact that the powerline noise filter has 2 receptacles on it. One receptacle to filter the noise that backfeeds on to the house circuit and one unfiltered receptacle so you can still use the wall plug for another electrical device like a lamp.

I just moved to a new house and decided to do my office equipment right by hooking up more of it to UPS units. I didn’t realized that the proximity and the density of UPS devices could cause powerline noise. I spent weeks rearranging things and trying different workarounds but in the end, adding these to every UPS solved everything.

Filters are great. Great service.

I guess I have a very noisy circuit with a variety of devices on it, that the filter has so far had no effect in cleaning up. The result is my I/O controller is unreachable. I plan to add a WiFi extender and run another circuit to try to make the I/O connection more reliable.

I use APC Uninterruptible Power Supplies on my computers, and they put out noise over the AC line that interferes with Insteon on/off modules that I use on the same circuit. These filters work great in blocking the UPS line noise.

My apple laptop was replaced several times for charging issues. Someone suggested to get one of these things. I tried it, and no more charging issues.

I used it to isolate a mini-fridge that was absorbing signals and wreaking havoc on the line cleanliness of a circuit to my home office. No more problems!

Insteon is by far the most reliable product on the market for the price. However, many products, especially UPSs pollute the power lines that Insteon uses so reliably. The powerline filter significantly reduces this noise when a heavy noise offender is encountered . In addition to clearing up blocked communication between insteon devices, the filter cleans up the occasional missed command the makes you occasionally press the button twice. This filter fixed a problem where I installed a server rack with an industrial UPS that was on the same circuit as 4 insteon controls that were having comm problems.

Following the addition of some electronics I was having an issue with power line communications reaching one of my sheds. I added two filters feeding power strips that supplied multiple devices and the issue was resolved.
