devices compatible with isy99i

[jlamb]

I have an older isy99i ir pro from a previous installation in my home (before I upgraded to 994).  I would like to use it for an installation in my cabin for a few devices.  Can anyone confirm if it is compatible with the following insteon devices?  I understand that this is no longer supported but want to do a small install and thought I would utilize the unit.  I would be putting the last available firmware from UDI on it (3.3.10).

 

Insteon PLM 2413S

Insteon Remote Dimmer Switch 2477DH

Insteon In Line Dimmer Switch 2475DA1

Insteon Mini Remote 8 Scene 2342-222

 

 

Regards,

I believe all of them will be OK except the mini remote which depends when you got it will be 50/50 chance it's seen.

Thanks for the info Teken.  I just bought the mini remote so I guess I'll just have to try it out.  I bought the Insteon Hub for my simple setup, but am not thrilled with it; especially the internet interface requirement to do anything.  I think my old isy would be far better!  All I have to do is get a new PLM for the dual band operation which actually costs less than the Insteon Hub I bought.

 

Now that I think of it, I have an 8 scene remote at home that is a few years old that I could swap out if the 99i doesn't like the new one.

 

Thanks for the info!

If you use a 2413S PLM, then you'll also need an external power supply.

Hello JL,

 

It should also be noted sometimes you can cheat by using the drop down menu for hardware that are listed. Keeping in mind sometimes going this route works just fine - other times some features or options don't appear or work as expected.

 

The only reason I call this out is say you had to replace a switch linc relay / dimmer. Given these new switches have new firmware it may come up as Insteon Engine blah blah blah.

 

Sometimes (not always) you can cheat simply by picking a similar device. Let us all know how you get on and what the outcome is because I am sure this will help someone else down the line looking to repurpose a 99 Series Controller.

 

For the benefit of others please state the hardware revision and production date of the devices are along with the ISY firmware should it work or not work.
