timeout?

[paulbram]

So, I just got my new ISY-99IR and pointed it at my keypadlinc to start crawling my links. After about 30 minutes of linking I saw an error on the screen, something about a timeout I think. I clicked OK and saw a few of my devices on the main page, but not as many as there should have been. After a little bit if clicking around I soon realized that things were not working. I closed the administration console and tried to open it again but was never prompted for a username and password. I also checked the "View Computers and Devices" screen and no longer see my ISY listed.

 

Do you think I need to reset the device? Or, is it still working? I see lots of blinking lights on the ISY and PLM so I'm thinking maybe it's still crawling my network. I have about 25 devices including 3 keypadlincs so there are quite a few links to discover.

 

Should I just let it keep going and hope I'll be able to connect later?

 

Thanks!

Ok, here's the deal.

 

Looks like my network switch was giving me problems so I had to reset it. After that, I was able to connect again and sure enough, it's still linking!

Hello paulbram,

 

If you have a small installation, it's always better to start fresh since some automation systems create half links which will cause you a lot of confusion and heartache in the long run.

 

With kind regards,

I checked this morning and the result looked pretty good actually. It's hard to explain how cool it is to finally SEE all these links that I've been creating over the years!

 

I've already found a few issues that have been annoying me for awhile and fixed them! Why oh why did I wait so long to get this awesome device!

 

I am however getting hung up on one issue with scenes. I just created a new scene with 3 responders. However, I'd also like those 3 devices to be controllers as well. Is there any way to modify the devices in an existing scene to be both controllers and responders?

 

Thanks!

Unfortunately no, because the links are different. What you will need to do is remove each device from the scene, then add it back into the scene as a controller.
