I am very happy and excited to make the jump to more powerful hardware as a replacement not an addition to my ISY994i. I will most certainly purchase it at that time!

I'm still a bit confused. My question is: will this replace my ISY994i? If not now, in the future? I will still be using insteon lights and zwave door locks.

At the time, I have no plan to add devices from hue, harmony, etc.... I guess the best plan is to get the Zwave expansion card!

Why would i want PolISY over ISY994? Is it essentially a new version? or an expansion/companion to the ISY944?

I did not know you could just add the board.... Has there been improvements to the ISY994 since i bought it 7 years ago? I mean to say is their newer hardware that may by more reliable? I am not opposed to getting a whole new unit if it is more reliable...I've been running my unit 24/7 for 7 years

Can I swap my current ISY PRO for the ISY Pro IR with Zwave? I need to add Zwave functionality. I was thinking to do a backup and then restore on the new device....but Will i lose/need to re-purchase my network module? My whole reason is to use the Shlage Connect which i now see is ZWave plus not zWave. Hope thats not a problem

OK. I think i fixed it. The power supply was not working. Replaced with another i had that is 5v and 1 a When I looked very closely (very hard to see) it looked like the power light was actually flickering. Hope this helps someone in the future. Anyone have a suggestion for a very high quality power supply??? These dinky ones are less than ideal

Thank you for your suggestions. 1) The ISY has a static IP. Currently the router (DHCP server) does not see the ISY. 2) I should be on version 4.3.26. Not sure how to identify UI. 3) ISY finder does not find any device When I try to do a hard reset following instructions " Use a sharp object to push in the Reset Button till the RX, TX, Mem, Error lights start blinking (every second) Hold for at least 30 seconds until all of the the RX, TX, Mem, Error lights turn off and Mem light starts flashing quickly Release and wait for system reboot (reboot is complete when Mem light stops flashing) " --- none of the lights flicker after holding for 1 min. Thank you.

Hello! I have had an ISY994i/IR PRO working flawlessly for 7, or so, years. Today, out of the blue, it is unreachable via all apps, admin console, even pinging the IP. I tired unplugging/replugging. I tried using a pin in the front to reset. No luck. The power light is on...but that is it. None of the other lights. Did my unit burn out? Is it too old? Is there some other way to try and reset it? I have a backup, so happy to wipe the unit if need be.

I did use the same name for the device and fortunately the programs still run. I would be curious as to the process for find/replace? Is it self explanatory or are there some subtleties i should be aware of if in the future I need to do this.

Delete and re-add/reprogram fixed it! it was a bunch of work but now backups work which is good.

So is consensus that I need to delete the device and try to re-add it?

Excellent question. YES, that is the address. I had not noticed.

When I attempt to backup the ISY994i/IR Pro (111), I receive the following error: "Could Not Create the Zip File." Then a second error: "Could Not Retrieve File /CONF/136088.REC" The system works fine....however I noticed that when I try to "Restore Device" for one of my SwitchLinc Dummers v.37, I get a similar (if not the same) error: "Could Not Retrieve File /CONF/136088.REC"

I upgraded my ISY to version firmware v.4.3.26 and moved the ISY/PLM to a different wall socket. Deleted the RemoveLinc2's. Factory reset the RemoteLinc2's. Added them to ISY. Rebuilt the actions......ALL IS GOOD NOW! I took a break from this issue a long time ago but had the motivation to fix it all this weekend. Thought I would report back

When I try to update a remotelinc2 that has a scene in common with another remotelinc2, it says they remotelinc cannot be found (becuase I have not put it in learning mode I assume). However when i try to put both remotelinc2s in learning mode they just beep and go back to normal standby mode.

Ugh, It seems like a bunch of the lights are now not linked correctly. I wish there were some easy way to remove everything and have the ISY write back all of the data to the devices.

So the remove and re-add worked.... Any tips on how to get the remotelinc2s a kick in the pants so they actually work again? Once I get that I'm set (and you have saved me sooooo much time)

Paulbates thank you for the quick response. Update: the scene now works but does not open the door. 1. The morninglinc does not work outside of the scene either. It does however work if you push the button on the side of the phyical box 2. understood will try (1) first remove then re-add

So I've had issues with my remotelinc2s for a long time. Then my morningstar lock controller stopped working (controlling via my phone and MobiLinc Pro). Then my PLM died. I've replaced my PLM (not sure if i followed the proper procedure but I tried) and the morningstar door lock did not magically start working (via my phone and MobiLinc Pro) as I had hoped. All the other devieces work from MobiLinc Pro. There is a scene that is supposed to turn of all lights and lock the mornignstar lock....when I run that, it does not turn of any lights or lock the door (not sure if this helps). I am at the point that I just want to wipe everything and start over. Ive got 20 or so devices. Am I crazy? Can I try something else? How do I test to see if the communication with morningstar controller is active???

Looks like this thermostat is going back. Oh well.

Do you have any experience with the other Thermostat offerings like the Ventrstar?

I deleted the Thermometer and re-linked it. Now this is what I receive when I change the temp on the Themometer such that it should trigger cooling mode. At this time, the thermometer shows "Cooling" but it looks like the ISY does not get the message.

So, I checked the event viewer level 3 and changed the cool point such that it would make the unit call for cooling. This is what showed. No "CLIHCS" event. There is however, "CLISPC." Is that good? What is the recommended manner of delinking and then relinking?

What i meant is that I have tried using a different THEN command with the same IF statement as above and the IF command has never been triggered in order to set off the the THEN. ie. If Status 'BedThermostat' is Calling for Cool Then Set SOME_LIGHT' ON Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
