 As an FYI, I have an Insteon 24xxU (I think it's the 13) that failed on
me... I found this online:

https://1projectaweek.com/blog/2017/6/2/repairing-a-failed-insteon-powerlinc
-power-line-modem-plm-2413u

I was able to successfully repair it by replacing the capacitors - even
though they all physically looked fine, replacing them made the difference
and it's been working for a couple years since. I REALLY missed the lights
control of MH when this failed! Felt like MH in general was dead.

Anyway, hope this helps someone! It was REALLY nice to not have to go
through the entire house re-linking devices to a new PLM!

I can buy that also supports X10 that I can use?

You can buy an insteon PLM, it will do insteon fine.

Looks like around $25 on ebay.
Note however that the older PLMs have died every 2 years on average for me.
My latest one seems to have been surviving longer though, so maybe getting a
newer PLM makes sense.

Also, once you have a PLM you can start adding insteon devices here and
there.
