I just figured out the second question, I think. That device is an ApplianceLinc and not an On/Off module. As such it is not able to be a controller perhap?

I have a scene with an appliance module present (SM_HW_Pump). When I press keypad buttons in the scene the, scene responds appropriately turning my device on and off. I would like to start a program when the scene is turned on. If I include all of the controllers in the IF statement this will work. It appeared to me it would be easier to understand and implement if I simply used the SM_HW_Pump being switched "ON" to trigger the program but that doesn't work. The program never runs. Why does that not work when the pump is switched "ON"? I'm also wondering why in my device list the Pump is blue while all other similar devices are red.

For some reason I saw the Ungroup selection but was blind to the Group Devices selection. Thank you so much. Nothing better than a simple solution.

I just added a 6-button keypad to Admin Console. It looks like: NEW One I added previously (a long time ago) looked like this: OLD I would like the NEW to be organized (hierarchically) like the OLD. How do I change this?

Initially, my ISY wasn't on the network and the Red LED was flashing. I tried to remove the SD card and it fell into the enclosure, so I opened it up and retrieved it. I tried to look at it on my PC and the PC couldn't access anything. I didn't know how it was formatted so I wasn't sure what to do. At some point, I tried to format it on my PC but it wouldn't format. I concluded after not being able to read or write the original uSD card with any tools I had available that the card was dead. I saw and tried to work with the instructions you reference but they involved doing things on the ISY and I couldn't access mine. It wasn't present on my network. I eventually discovered that if I inserted a FAT-formatted blank SD card into the ISY and did a hard reset the card was properly prepared for the ISY. At that point, I was able to get the ISY back on my network. But then I ran into the mysterious inability to use the Admin Console. I had always selected "Admin Console(LAN)" from the finder and that wasn't working. No Admin Console appeared or was present in Task Manager. I struggled with that for a while and finally, I realized (duh) that I should at least try "Admin Console(Cloud), and that worked. From there I simply restored a backup and was back in business. "Admin Console(LAN) still doesn't work. In the end, it is all very simple to create a new SD card if you have no ISY-configured card available. Format a uSD card on any computer (FAT). Insert the card into your ISY and perform a hard reset. The card is readable on a PC. There doesn't seem to be any special formatting at all beyond the basic ISY-related folders. After I had restored a backup and made some updates to my ISY I performed a test. I took another blank SD card and on my PC I copied the files from the one I made on the ISY to the new card. Then I swapped it into the ISY and it's working just fine. I think in the instructions you reference it might help to clearly state up at the top that: the uSD card is FAT formatted. (Can be done on a PC). after insertion in the ISY a hard reset (30 seconds on the reset button) will create a pristine ISY configuration. then as long as the ISY can be accessed using Admin Console you can restore a backup. Simple things can look so mysterious until you figure out a few basics.

I have restored my ISY operation much to my relief and delight. Thank you for all the help. One big issue was the running of Admin Console. This now works so long as I choose the "Cloud" option. The LAN option is still a mystery but not as big a problem as before. FYI - my original uSD card was trashed. But to get back in operation I discovered I could: Format a new drive on my PC as a FAT volume. Insert that into my ISY and perform a hard RESET (hold reset button 30 seconds) and then once I got Admin Console going I could restore a backup. I've now upgraded to 5.3.4. Thanks again to everyone!

IRunning Java 8 update 381 I rebooted my system and brought up IoX finder then clicked on Admin Console. Then in task manager this is what I see. I'm confused about how Finder shows version 5.3.0 when the uSD card was created by a hard boot of the ISY. Isn't the uSD where this version info comes from? I was going to use the procedure in the link you reference but when I try to telnet to the ISY to format the new uSD card the connection is rejected. (I used port 126 which I saw referenced somewhere.) Then to update the firmware I need Admin Console (catch 22). I know this question doesn't belong here but does the newer product (eisy?) work pretty much the same as my ISY did from a user standpoint?

It appears that my uSD card in my ISY was corrupted recently during a storm. My ISY would not appear on my network. I got the unit back online by placing a FAT-formatted uSD card into the device and performing a hard reset. I wasn't sure what that would do but once I recycled power my ISY once again appeared on my network. Since then I have attempted to bring up Admin Console on several different PCs (all windows 11). The device is found by IoX finder but when I click on Admin Console nothing happens. In another thread, I was advised to clear out some state variables which I did but this had no effect. I suspect since I don't have a valid software configuration on the uSD card this is the problem but without Admin Console I don't seem to have any way to create a valid configuration. Can anyone help?

Is there any place I could get an img file with a pristine configuration for my ISY. Or buy a uSD card ready to go? As far as I can tell there's no way to produce a properly configured uSD card without access to Admin Console.

I have another desktop computer I use to manage my ISY and it occurred to me that if the problem is something on this machine maybe I can run Admin Console on that machine. Turns out the same thing happens - nothing. That's not totally true because when I clicked on "Admin Console(LAN)" I thought I saw a quick flash on the screen as though a window opened and immediately closed. 1) is there anything in task manager I could see to know that Admin Console is actually running but just not visible? 2) is there some other way to configure my uSD drive outside of the ISY in case that has something to do with the problem?

I deleted the '*.state' files (there was only one). There are none present in the folder indicated and I also did a search of the entire C drive to make sure there were none elsewhere. When I use the original uSD card the board doesn't connect to the network. When I use the "new" one I created it does.

I guess I have a couple of questions. 1) Can I see if Admin Console is running (and perhaps minimized) by observing anything in Task Mgr? 2) Can I format or prepare the uSD card in some way without accessing the uSD card via Admin Console?

Running Windows 11. Steps I have taken: ISY: Earlier as mentioned I performed a hard reset on my ISY with a FAT-formatted uSD card in the unit. Now the system is present on my network. PC: I installed the latest Java release. I cleared the cache (all three check marks). I re-downloaded start.jnlp. PC: I deleted the files in the wiki you mentioned. PC: I restarted my computer. So when I run start.jnlp the IOX finder finds my ISY. I click on Admin Console(LAN) but nothing more happens. Out of curiosity I looked at the uSD card again on my computer (removed from the ISY) and it doesn't look like it was modified. So I'm not sure what the hard reset does. And I don't, therefore, know what firmware is actually running. Until I have an admin console I can't do anything.

I'm back on the network with the uSD card created with the hard reset. Start ISY finds my ISY but when I click on Admin Console (LAN) nothing happens. I cleared Java cache but that made no difference.

Yesterday following a storm my ISY-994i stopped working. The power, RX, and TX lights are on solid blue. Memory Light OFF and Red light flashing about once a second. From what I've seen on the forum and wiki it appears the unit should be on my network but it isn't. So I can't access it with the Admin Console or SSH (which I haven't done before). As an experiment, I swapped in another uSD card and did a hard reset. After rebooting the unit various lights flashed until the Memory and Error lights flashed in unison. Still, the unit didn't connect to my network. I tried two different ports and cables to no avail. Is the network connection independent from memory issues? Should it connect regardless of SD card issues? What steps can I take at this point?
