How to add a device........??
lilyoyo1 replied to TimCA's topic in New user? Having trouble? Start here
I don't know what a 6 link switch is. I'm assuming you're talking about a keypadlinc. The wiki has the information on how to add devices to the isy. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Link_Management_Menu If you're trying to set up an insteon scene you can also find the instructions in the isy wiki. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Scene -
Legit email or phishing?

Everything about that looks like a phishing attempt. -
NWI isnt supported in most non plus devices. All devices would need to be plus and support NWI for it to work. You can exclude from anywhere when a device is part of an existing network but since his is a new network, it wouldnt work.

I don't use non toggle options. I keep mine in Toggle mode, set device to their proper state and use programs to turn off the kpl backlight when necessary

Won't help with what you're trying to do. They lock needs to be closer to the isy -
Change default to off and see what happens
-
Non toggle on=buttons on Non toggle off= buttons off That's how it's built into the device. You can always create a scene, add the button to that scene, and then create a program that turns that scene off anytime you physically press the button after a second or 2

If it's not close to the isy it won't exclude or include -
FYI- if the ISY is not aware of an insteon device, it will still add due to how the protocol works. However, since it is not part of the isy data base, it will not have the necessary information needed to have the proper settings of the device. You would get a different message during adding and how it shows up. Since yours says that it cannot determine insteon engine, its recognizing what the device is and so forth....Its just not able get all the information it needs to complete the process. Most times, this comes down to communication between the ISY and device, incorrect code for what that device is reporting, or something happened at the factory which a factory reset wipes out. I attached an image of what you would receive if the ISY did not have the 2477d in its database.

The Id could be incorrect. Follow the instructions i gave previously and you don't have to worry about typing in the id
-
If that was the case, it would still add to the isy. It would simply say unsupported device type (something along those lines). With that said, it is still in the console.

You would have a much better experience with radio ra2 over zwave. There's no comparison. With that said, the cost is much greater. I don't use Lutron much to give alot of details about it. I took the training and so forth but it's not something I generally install. @simplextechwould be a great resource as he uses it much more than I do. If you want to take the basic training for software access, it's free. I can help you get the switches to bring the cost down, but they'll still be more expensive than zwave devices

What happened to HEAL & REPAIR with the new dongle & 5.3.2?
lilyoyo1 replied to Cottonwood's topic in Z-Wave - Series 300/500
Nothing. The universal heal had been removed and replaced with update neighbors for individual devices as this is the best method for updating zwave devices -
I guess i could've been clearer. I wasn't meaning using the hub with homeseer. I was saying that there are other controllers besides the Isy and that the hub itself has a large use base. You can connect the isy to C4 as well as insteon devices itself using houselinc to pre link. UDI not supporting insteon would be devastating for us users that prefer insteon. While it would hasten my switch to C4 for myself, I'd probably follow your path and replace insteon with lutron
-
There's not a large contingent of irule users on here. You're better off going to the irule forum with your issues
-
Highly unlikely to cause any problems. Many people on here are (and have been) constantly writing new links for years without issue

Not necessarily. For Isy users that are loyal to Udi it is a death knell. However, most of insteons user base actually uses the hub in addition to homeseer and other platforms.
-
I know it's a personal thing but I'm all for you continuing insteon support. Especially with their newer devices coming out. Besides that, too many users are already entrenched with insteon to abandon. I'd be good with an off the shelf zwave dongle. Not only would it be cheaper than a purpose built solution initially, it would be easier, faster, and cheaper to upgrade each time a new version is released
-
Factory reset the switches. Try adding by choosing start linking and holding in the set button on the switches

Does your UI and firmware both match
