We had the biggest lightning storm that I’ve ever experienced last night. One particular strike, where you could see and hear it at the same time. What got fried, despite being on surge protectors? Two Ethernet switches. So internet wasn’t down, just half my network. My garage door opener. Well, I wasn’t sure but the GFI circuit it was plugged into was certainly dead. I hook the garage up to an extension cord so I can go buy some replacements, yup garage door opener dead! At this point I head upstairs to shower the grime off me. My AC isn’t working. FML!
Now add insult to injury, my PLM looks bricked. I have a backup named:
ISY-Backup.v5.3.0__Fri 2025.02.21 10.13.47
I also have a backup PLM I bought years ago the same time my last PLM died. The current (and dead) PLM is model 24135 Revision 2.4 and the backup PLM is also 24135, but revision 2.3
Should I be able to restore this backup from Feb 21 of this year to my ISY994i and this new PLM? What’s the proper procedure?
Before I try and switch the PLM, I was able to take a backup of my current ISY setup. Will this backup restore to the new PLM, even though the PLM was dead when I took the backup? I guess I’m asking if the backup uses database entries instead of relying on the PLM itself
