 +====== Indigo v4 Incompatibility with i2CS Firmware Modules ======
 +All newer INSTEON modules shipping since March 2012 have the i2CS firmware, which includes many reliability improvements.
 +
 +However, the extensive Indigo changes required for the i2CS firmware compatibility are only available in Indigo 5 and higher. You can [[http://www.indigodomo.com/downloads|download the latest version of Indigo here.]] Note that all major version upgrades to Indigo are paid upgrades, but upgrade discounts are available. To upgrade [[http://www.indigodomo.com/purchase-upgrade|visit our purchase page]] and enter your current registration code and we'll show your specific upgrade discount eligibility. You can also register for a [[http://www.indigodomo.com/register-trial|free 30 day trial of the latest version of Indigo]] to make sure it supports all of your INSTEON modules.
 +
 +====== PowerLinc Incompatibility with i2CS Firmware Modules ======
 +Additionally, i2CS firmware modules now require INSTEON extended messages to be fully configured and the older PowerLinc 2414U does not support extended messages.
 +
 +The i2CS modules work with the newer PowerLinc interfaces, including:
 +
 +  * [[http://store.indigodomo.com/insteon-powerlinc-plm-2413u.html|PowerLinc 2413U]] (Dual-Band -- recommended)
 +  * INSTEON RF Adapter (RF Only -- discontinued)
 +
 +Note: Smarthome no longer makes a standalone controller like the 2414U that Indigo can use. See our article on [[standalone_controllers|standalone controllers]] for more details.
