help linking remotelinc

[ryarber]

The sticker must have fallen off my remotelinc. I do not have the address now. Is there a way I can add it to my current ISY setup without the device address being known?

Which RemoteLinc? If it's the original, then the ID is in the battery compartment. Some ISY versions require that you put the original RemoteLinc into linking mode when the RemoteLinc is 30-40' from the PLM, but near a dual-band device.

The ID number is located in the battery compartment under the lower battery.

The original remotelinc. Yes, the link was on a sticker in the battery compartment, but it has fallen off somewhere.

I tried this and it worked. If you can't find an easier way.

 

You can manually link it to a module in the Administrative Console.

Then do a Show Device Links Table for the module you linked it to.

The RemoteLincs ID will show as a mismatch.

Then it would be best to do a manual unlink from the module you added it to. So its ID is removed from the module.

 

If you don't want to mess with a module in use now and have a unused module.

You could also add the unused test module to the Administrative Console.

Then manually link the test module to the RemoteLinc

Then do the Show Device Links Table. To see the ID.

Then just remove the added test module from the Administrative Console and Factory Reset both the test module and Remotelinc.

 

I did the same thing with a Smarthome "X10SC503" controller that was a short lived module. Basically a 2430 ControLinc II with the Insteon Labels removed and sold for X10 use. Though the firmware was never changed. So it was a 2430 in disguise.
