Actually it may be an a10. I looked at the icon for name given the device by the ISY and it has a10 on it. How do I stop the ISY from attempting to initialize this device? I have tried deleting it and it disappears but the ISY continues trying to initialize the device. Help!

I downloaded the x-10 module and started initializing the first device. J now have an initializing screen for a device A1 that is running in a loop and has been for about half an hour. How do I stop this?

How do I safely empty the cache in this version of Java (Mac 10.9.3)?

The remote IP is unchanged. If the problem is port forwarding I cannot identify what the problem is. Could you possibly give me a call and use a remote connection to sort this out?

No, I cannot access it by typing the URL in a browser.

My second ISY is at a location remote from my primary address and the other ISY. My setup at the secondary location is complete and devices linked. When I double-click on the Java Icon on my desktop the local IP for the ISY at the primary address has changed to the local IP for the remote location, and I can load the Admin Console. However, when I try to add the away IP to the Admin Console it is rejected. My research indicates that the fact that both ISY's do not have the same firmware may be the problem (primary address firmware is 4.1.2; remote ISY firmware is 4.0.5). I am unable to update the firmware at the secondary location using the instructions at WIKI. It may also be that my port forwarding may be wrong. It is imperative that I have remote access to both ISY's. I am running Mac OS 10.9.3. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

How do I change the location that serves as the basis for sunrise/sunset?

That is the feedback I expected. Thanks.

When I have a button controlling a scene, how can I get the button to report the status of only one of the devices in the scene?

Thanks.

Will I need a second admin console or can both devices be managed using a single console?

All the programs are simple on/off commands. So, given the foregoing feedback, I can expect the ISY to resume its control functions following power outages??

I am considering replacing a SmartLinc 2412n at a remote location with an ISY994i. That location has frequent power outages with some as long as a couple of days. I am interested in knowing how well the ISY powers up without intervention following such outages. Any feedback will be appreciated.,

Thanks, That is what I was hoping to hear.

I have an ISY994i IR Pro in my primary residence. It is controlled using a Mac running Maverick's. I would like to change out the SmartLinc 2412n in a second home at a remote location and control it using the same Mac and an ISY994i. Are there any special challenges with this setup?

I just got the definitive answer to my question at the Insteon forum: "The 'software' is actually firmware built into the camera accessible via a browser." Thought I would pass it along here for others. My thanks for the help from everyone.

Purdueguy: You say you use the standard camera webpage. Are you able to access that web page without an Insteon controller (Hub or 2412n) at the location of the cameras? If I can do that, then I can eliminate the 2412n and switch to the ISY994i.

Thanks, Purdueguy. That's headed in the right direction. How do you manage the camera settings, e.g., presets, etc. found under Device Management in the Insteon camera software? Does that software remain available for the camera after the ISY is installed in place of the Insteon controller. That is, I guess, my bottom line?

The 2412n is the predecessor to the Hub. MobiLinc can control the position of the camera using presets and receives audio but that's about all. I was hoping that someone on here uses the ISY and these cameras and would fill me in. I love the ISY here at my home and would love to switch at the away location but managing the cameras is of paramount importance there.

I have two Insteon cameras at a remote location along with several insteon devices and a 2412n. The cameras are set up to send motion-activated snapshots. I can access them with my Mac and with my iPhone using MobiLinc Pro. I would like to switch the controller at that location to an ISY 994i but I have been unable to find specific information as to what happens with the cameras following installation of the ISY and removal of the 2412n. It is critical that I be able to control the cameras and get live video and motion-activated snapshots. Does the software that currently manages the cameras reside on the 2412n? Is it transferred to the ISY? If I lose camera control as I currently have it, I will be forced to stay with the 2412n. Thanks.

Took a ticket and Steve Lee quickly resolved the backup issue. Turned out that for some bizarre reason the folder the backup was being directed to by default was the problem. Simply changing the location where the backup was directed resolved the issue. He also quickly set me up to use my external IP when away from home. My thanks to all of you who have tried to help me with these issues. Onward to tackling the next problem that I will surely need help with!!!

I have the icon on my desktop but when I attempt a backup of the admin console I get a message that Safari can't create the ZIP file.

Despite numerous efforts I have been unable to get Safari to make backups of my ISY994i. It has been suggested I switch to Firefox. I have installed Firefox. How do I get the Admin Console JAVA app to use it instead of Safari? I am using a MacBook Pro running Mavericks.

I tried that by turning off wi-fi and it could not find the ISY finder so I assume I must do this while on another network. Is that correct? If that is true, I will have to wait a little over a week to test it.
