I noticed they have an e-commerce option to buy a 2477D ($67 including shipping). Are they actually fulfilling orders? Where are they getting their hardware? I thought they were tango-uniform.

I’m thanking the universe for buying a backup a few years ago. If I can find it.

For years I’ve thought about what it would take to switch from Insteon to Zwave dimmers, and every single time I decided it’s easier to just replace a dead switch with a new one. Even now, I’ll probably just end up buying replacements on eBay. But if I absolutely had to gut my entire house and start over, what’s your preferred brand of Zwave dimmer switch? And, are you resigned to using a hub to control scenes? The thing I loved about Insteon is being able to have all switches linked together, without a hub running a scene. One tap of a switch and everything turns on smooth as Barry White. None of this popcorn raggedness.

It’s been a long time since I played with this, but I’m having an issue with some Insteon switches in my ISY gui. I have a switch called KitchenSpot, which is a member of a managed scene called KitchenMain. KitchenSpot appears in that scene as a RED node, and when I click on it, I see all of the Insteon switches which have been linked to it. When I click on KitchenSpot under folders (BLUE) I see something completely different. I see 5 options I can modify and the “membership” tree. How can I modify the Insteon links in the first (RED) case? In other words I want to link another Insteon switch to turn on (responds to) when the KitchenSpot paddle is pressed independently of the ISY.

I have 5 incandescent light fixtures in my kitchen that are controlled via a 2477D switch. 2 of them have burned out, and I’m considering replacing all 5 with LED fixtures. However I’m concerned that I’m going to lose dimming functionality from the 2477D, as I’ve read that LED fixtures need special switches to dim or “remember” the dimming settings. I’m asking here, because undoubtedly some of you have already walked through this minefield before.

I also tried these instructions: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY_Portal_Admin_Console But they don’t actually show how to get the ISY launcher working, so they’re incomplete.

I have a fresh Windows 10 OS. What do I need to do to get into the admin console? I tried following the instructions at https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page#Downloadable_Documentation but both “start” and “admin” jnlp files aren’t doing anything.
