I did a factory reset on the ISY to get back to a known state. I noticed that after the reset, there were no programs. Once I get my devices added and the ISY working reliably, I will start looking at this default program as well as others.
You mentioned that when I add the device back into ISY using the first option, it clears the database in the device. Does that mean it deletes any links that are in the device as well as what the ISY may have known about this device (if the ISY previously was configured with this device)?
As for the Elk, I have added the Elk configuration 2 different times. The first time was when I originally received the ISY and the second time after I factory reset it. Both times I have had to reboot the ISY for the GUI to show the Elk buttons on top. I saw this in another forum as well that someone suggested rebooting to complete the change. If this is not how it is suppose to work, then I think it is a bug. If you want me to do further testing, let me know what you would like me to try.
Thanks.
