I tried that...I put the ISY994i in linking mode (did not put the RemoteLinc in discovery mode) I went downstairs to the basement. Pressed the DIM and BRIGHT buttons on the RemoteLinc. Held it near a 2477S and the 2477S flashed some red LED's at the bottom of the LED pipe. Not surprised, it didn't link.

I tried going outside - no luck. This unit is a Rev 1.0 which probably doesn't help.

What is "IoP" ? (I don't know that one ?) I'm curious how far outside you needed to go? I was going to try turn off all computer "stuff" after work ends and see if that helps in any way. i.e. any interference caused by the computer equipment possibly causing the problem. I really like the look and feel of this unit. I hope I can get it working.

I know many people have tried to get this item to link - I am still unsuccessful. I always end up with a: The following devices could not be added 2440 RemoteLinc v.00 - Cannot determine Insteon Engine Is this a lost cause for my unit or do I just need to keep trying like others have done? I have tried holding it close to the PLM as well as 40 feet away. (LED does blink when I hold DIM and BRIGHT) at the same time. I do see some LED activity on the PLM when it's held closely to it. I read that this take a lot of bytes to transfer over the air but the entire house is filled with dualband devices so I would think, perhaps in correctly, that I have enough air space to get this done. Any ideas? Thank you -Ray

Cancel that...I had to create an account on Oracle - maybe that's what turned me off in the past. Now I have: 1.8.331.09 (x86_64) "Oracle Corporation" and 1.8.0_292 (x86_64) "AdoptOpenJDK" Thanks again MrBill!

I did not know that. I thought Oracle basically abandoned Java 8. Can't even download the version for MacOS without getting it through a 3rd party app (brew)

There is this for anyone who might have the same problem: https://cache.insteon.com/documentation/2864app-windows.zip You can download via this direct link but if you go through the Insteon page - even though it gives that URL which you can access directly - it won't take you there. Change "windows" to "osx" for the Mac version - but you need a Mac with a very old OS version installed. I'm curious if the windows version will run on anything new - I'm guessing you will need Windows XP. I'm going to ask my kids if they can try running this app on their latest and greatest Windows machines.

That's awesome - thank you again MrBill. But about these java updates that spoke of...I thought the ISY994i could only run under java 8? I would love to be able to run it on the latest java version - which would prevent me from having to setup aliases to set the appropriate java_home env for when I have to do something else that requires the latest version of java. If you (or anyone) has things running on a version other than Java 8 - please tell me who you did it - that would be an amazing improvement.

Yes, a number of people have said that they were Foscam rebranded. But interestingly, there was this one person who claimed that he spoke to Foscam directly and they stated that they did not make the guts for the Insteon cams. Who knows, maybe this Foscam person thought he had a clue but really didn't - I see that every day. Within Synology Surveillance I can add them as the appropriately mapped Foscam model and they work just fine. But I can also choose "generic cam" from the list and they also seem to work just as well. But again, I had already configured their wifi addresses via the old Insteon app. One theory is that Foscam is using some common (Chinese perhaps) low level parts and that many cam companies use the same thing. One guy has mapped out the Insteon models: LD, HD, indoor, outdoor to a particular Foscam model and I just follow his table. (But again, I had already configured their wifi settings.)

I only used the Insteon original iPhone app to configure the wifi on the Insteon cams. - Hard reset the cam. - Plug in power with Ethernet cable attached - Run the original Insteon app since the "better app" (using that term lightly) has no cam support - Add the cam and then run through the steps so that it will connect to wifi (This is the part I don't have.) (From this point I use either Owlr or Synology Surveilance...never the Insteon iPhone app.) I do have an old MacBook Pro that can still run the Insteon Cam firware updater - if I get one that is not up to latest. I only use these Insteon cams when they come my way - they are not my favorite but the HD model is still pretty decent. Thanks

Thank you!!! Another missing step is to re-download the "ISY Launcher" java app - clearing the java cache deletes that (and leaves your shortcut pointing at nothing.) I'm still not really sure if I should be using the "ISY Launcher" (shortcut with UD shield) or "ISY994 Administrative Console" (House with Globe in background) or the "admin.jnlp" (just a coffee cup) ? From my experience so far, the "ISY Launcher" gives me 3 choices: Admin Console (LAN), Admin Console (Cloud) and Dashboard and the "ISY994 Administrative Console" does not give you any choice and just launches the console. I always go to Admin Console (Cloud) via ISY Launcher Another launcher I found in my travels is "dashboard.jnlp" - starts the java vm but then dies with no error. Thank you again!

Putting the original card back does solve all problems...although I would like to proceed with installing and using the new card. I was replacing the card with a new one based on recommendation from the seller.

1. Shutdown ISY 994i 2. Put new 16gb card in 3. Start up ISY 9994i 4. Telnet to it and run the FS command (never get the goodbye message as others have experienced) 5. Reboot ISY 6. Restored ISY from latest backup 7. Launch the console and I get the dreaded LIB_ERRORS-403 box 8. All else seems okay - except that my device is no longer reporting being online at my.isy.io (I did purchase the portal subscription) I did try to delete the ISY on the portal and add it back (same UUID) - but I never get the message back on the console to accept the portal

I saw an older thread about this topic but it sounded like the suggestion did not work. I did try that that same suggestion and I also did not have the problem solved. Situation: Two 2477D's been in existence for years under control of the Insteon hub and working as desired with both dimmers having ramp rates of 0.5s Steps: 1. Factory reset of both devices 2. Link and replace both dimmers 3. Create ONE new scene and add both switches as controllers 4. Ramp rate always goes back to 0.1s I can reset the ramp rate then click the "Ramp Rate" button (I think that updates things) - I can do this for the switches and the scene - always stays at 0.1 My only solution was to create two separate scenes with one scene having one dimmer as the controller and the second scene with the other switch as the controller (the opposite dimmer as the receiver in each case). I do have MANY scenes exactly similar to this with two 2477D's - both set as controllers and things work fine. These dimmers are Revision v.45 (all of my dimmers in the house are v.45) Can someone tell me what is the "Backlight" setting for on these dimmers? Is it how strong the LEDs light up? Because I have them set at 0% now (which comes up as default) but if I put them at 50% the LEDs do not light up in a smooth pace.

MY ISY 994i is online, I purchased portal access, I linked my accounts. But every time I got to https://polyglot.isy.io/dashboard I just get the spinning wheel. I'm sorry if this has been asked before, I'm still digging on how to resolve but thought I would bump it to the top and introduce myself as a new member. Thank you. -Ray
