Thanks Jon, I eventually got there. Fortunately, I don't tinker with my system enough to continue to be familiar with the tools. I have had it working for eight years now and only occasionally have to tweak it. Thanks for the reply. Terry

I had some very short, rapid fire power outages last week and lost my Programs. My backups were old, so I rebuilt from scratch. I have everything back to normal and working again (AND backed up). However one device (LR Table Lamps) no longer appears in my Program folder. It appears (and functions) in My Lighting and in a scene I've named Evening, but no longer appears in the Program tree under Home Daily. It has always been there before so I know I moved this device into the Program before. I've searched the manual and the wiki and can't find it. How do I copy or move this device from either the My Lighting tree or the Evening tree and into the Program called Home Daily? All Devices in my My Lighting folder are repeated in the Evening scene and (previously) in the Home Daily Program. So my system is pretty simple, but I can't get the LR Table Lamps device back into the Program. Any help is appreciated.

Will deleting it and then adding it back change all my other devices to responders only? Getting rid of the Controller status they all show now?

It has been in place as a Responder for years. No problem. See attachments:

Techman, The 2427D was added as a responder controlled by a program. I guess I had it highlighted and somehow changed it to a controller. Now it, and every other device in my system, shows membership to both Controller and Responder. I want to remove Controller from all 21 devices.

Not sure how, but I inadvertently added "Is Controller For" to a 2427D Dual Band OutletLinc Dimmer (via the Admin Console) which had worked flawlessly for many years. It controls a Kitchen Desk Lamp. That move "automatically" wrote "Controller" to every other device in my system. All were previously "Responder For" only. Now when I turn on that device (Kitchen Desk) every lamp in the house comes on. The program that runs all the devices nightly still functions but the Kitchen Desk light never comes on as scheduled. How do I remove my Kitchen Desk Lamp's "Is Controller For" from Membership in my devices? Am I correct in assuming that I don't necessarily need a "Controller" among a bunch of lamp dimmers and wall toggle switches? Does the ISY994 not write the program functions to the responders? I have no RemoteLinc or Keypads. Attached is the ISY link diagnostic for the Kitchen Desk Lamp. It should only do ON, DIM and OFF (probably the first three lines). I suspect the remaining 19 "62" codes are turning all the other lamps on when the Kitchen Desk lamp is turned on. At the same time I also lost total control from the MobiLinc Pro app on my iPhone. It will not sync with the 994 anymore.

Thank you Brian. Guess that has been asked about a lot.

I currently run an old ISY 99i?IR PRO with about 20 dual band dimmer and switch modules. I typically only use one program daily. I have a new ISY994i that I'd like to install in place of the old '99i. Where can I find a step-by-step (I am no computer genius) instruction on how to make this upgrade? Current ISY99i is FW 3.3.10. Current Admin console is 4.3.26. I assume I'll need to make a backup file, pull the old ISY, install the new ISY, then restore the file? Must be more to it than that. Thanks in advance. Terry

Thanks Rand. I really appreciate your patience and your guidance. Take care. Terry

Thanks to the help from folks on this forum and the hard-working team at UDI, after just more than one month for first hooking up my ISY-99, my entire residence is now totally X-10 FREE! I replaced my final two X-10 devices today. My appreciation to all. Terry

Perfect. Thanks again, Rand. Terry

I read somewhere that I can simply "append" my IP log-in address (with /admin) to expedidte logging in and opening the Admin Console. Just where in the ISY99 software would I "append" this so that it is saved as such? Thanks, Terry

Thanks again, Rand. I'll give that a shot today. Terry

I have wrestled with this all day and have just now created a program that will ramp up a desk lamp at 20 minutes before sunset (to 85%) and turn it off at 6:30 the following morning. What I can't figure out is how to dim the same lamp to 35% at 9:56 the same evening and leave it there until the OFF commant the following moring. 1. Turn on 20 minutes before sunset set to 85% 2. At 9:56 PM dim to 35% 3. Turn off at 6:30 AM following day. How do I insert the 9:56 command to dim to 35%??? Once I understand how to accomplish this, I can do my whole house in 30 minutes. ;o) Thanks, Terry

Hi Michel, Just wanted to say thanks for the great support. Rand called me today and we tracked down some unexpected issues (including that someone had changed my router IP. THAT had you scratching your head, didn't it?). I am up and running with working modules installed. Had to leave the ISY and PLM in the basement office, it still doesn't like the switch up here in the kitchen. Will tackle programming a room at a time now. Again, the customer service at UDI is second to none. You guys can be very proud. Regards, Terry

Michel, That IP address shows to be for the Netgear rounter (RP614 v4) that everything is connected to. Terry

Michel, The IP address in ipconfig shows 10.0.0.4

No Michel. No such router here. Ok, I'll follow that link and attempt the update now. Thanks again, Terry

Thanks Michel. Yes, my network issue is now resolved. I moved the ISY to a basement office desktop and connected it directly to the router there. Now I have access to My Lighting from both home computers on my network. Today I took the day off from work and plan to tackle the recommended firmware download, then start linking modules. I read your instructions and download the zipped file to my desktop. Not entirely sure how to use the Administration Console to load those yet. There apparently are a number of different addresses to access the Admin Console (I use www.universal-devices.com/99i) and I'm not sure what difference the other URL's offer. When I first logged into the Admin Console is gave me a URL of 10.0.0.something. Now it shows a URL beginning with 192. Which is correct? Thanks for hanging with me, Michel. Terry

Today, I replaced the 3 ft Cat5 cable supplied by UDI (that connects the ISY Network port to the port on the Switch) with an identical one provided by UDI and the problem still exists. On the ISY network port connector, I have two green lights, one stays on constantly and the other blinks briefly about every ten seconds, which I understand is normal. Thanks, Terry

Hi Michel, The Green lights on the ISY network connector are this: one (outer most LED) is solid green, the other (center most LED) is solid green most of the time with an occasional blink approx every ten seconds. Regards, Terry

Thanks Brian. I printed out the manual a week ago (all 72 pages) and understand what the LED's mean (Appendix A , page 58) and I've been plowing through it ever since. UDI tech support said the the Mem and Error LED's flashing simultaneously at about ten second entervals indicated that my network was not seeing the ISY. I'm awaiting more from them, I guess, on Monday. Thanks again for your quick reply. Terry

Mindows XP New setup. First time Insteon user. Using Smarthome-provied outboard power supply. Using UDI supplied Cat5 network cable. ISY99i PRO IR shows Green power LED. MEM and ERROR LED's blink together every 10 seconds. Three good Green lights on Linksys switch port ISY is plugged into. Everything else plugged into this same switch works fine. Tried another switch port with no change. Removed and reinserted SD card. Rebooted router, switch, computer, ISY, PowerLinc Modem (2413S) Get no "My Lighting" icon in My Network Places screen. Ran "hide" UPnP and "show" UPnP in My Network Places several times with no luck. Logging on to the Administrative Console, the only thing that appears when I click HELP and ABOUT is a small window informing me of copy write. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Terry
