ISSUE: "Memory" and "Error" lights blink after ISY-994i/IR-PRO boots.
BACKGROUND: Use an ISY-994i/IR-PRO and 2431S Powerlinc modules for my devices (approximately 3 years old).
a. After a power outage, I could not longer communicate with my ISY-994 via MobiLinc app or URL via home PC. Noticed that the 2431 green LED was not lit. Unplugged PowerLinc and could communicate with my ISY, although all programs were missing.
b. Bought a new PowerLinc module and rebooted system to get "Memory" and "Error" lights blinking. From manual, read that it was a bad micro sd card.
c. Bought "Kingston Digital 16 GB Class 4 microSDHC Flash Card" via amazon.com. Plugged in new SDcard and no bad lights (yippie). I could not use the admin console, with same issues as
http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/14315-isy994i-flashing-red-error-bad-sd-or-other/ . Formated the sdcard via telnet. (No PowerLinc attached.)
d. Still could not access the admin console. I could access my old sdcard from my PC. Copied contents onto new SDcard. Put new SDcard into ISY. Rebooted and could access via admin console. Restored a good copy of my ISY configuration. (Still did not have any programs.) Updated ISY firmware to 4.5.4 via admin console. (No PowerLinc attached.)
e. Repowered ISY and logged in via admin console, things looked good. (No PowerLinc attached and no progams.)
f. Moved ISY to a new location in the house and repowered with PowerLinc attached. Get "Memory" and "Error" lights blinking. Tried reformatting sdcard on PC, using old sdcard, and resetting ISY to factor settings. Nothing appears to work.
QUESTION:
- Is my ISY hosed and needs to be replaced?
- Do the modules only work for ~3 years? If so, this is a lot of money to shell out ever few years. What are better alternatives?
