mitch236 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Ever since an electrical storm last night, I can't communicate with my ISY 994i. Is it possible that it is damaged? Nothing else in the computer cabinet was damaged and the ISY is plugged into a surge protector. All three blue lights are on solid. No other lights. The back LAN connector has one solid green and the other is blinking (not really blinking buy quick sporadic flashing). I can't connect to it at all. Should I order a replacement? How can I reset it?

builderb Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Did the IP address change when the power came back on? IOW, are you using DHCP for it? Link to comment
larryllix Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 There is a troubleshooting chart based on the LED pattern. Not sure where to find it but Google is your friend. First try a power cycle of the PLM and ISY. PLM gets powered up first for a few seconds, and then ISY. If that doesn't work, try a factory reset. Research how to do it, so you have better access to proper troubleshooting information. I hope you have a good backup file. If you factory reset it, you will need the factory password, reset the location information and then use your back up file. Link to comment
Brian H Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 If all three Blue LEDs are on. That is not correct. Here is some UDI Wiki information on the front panel LEDs. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page#Front_Panel_LEDs.2FLights Before calling the ISY994i defective. I would also suggest the power up sequences mentioned to see if anything changed. I would suspect the 2413S PLM before the ISY994i. Unless you where counting on Insteon RF only and the PLM was also on a surge suppressor or UPS. It is directly connected to the incoming AC power. I have also seen some indications the RS232 IC in the 2413S PLM was sometimes an issue and I know they changed it to an ESD rated IC in the hardware 2.3 and above. Link to comment
mwester Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 If the ISY doesn't come back, it's worth trying another wall wart before replacing it -- those power supplies have been known to fail. Link to comment
stusviews Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Chances are if the LEDs are lit, then the power supply is OK. In any event, a supply from 5 to 30VDC will work. I'm using a 12VDC supply. Link to comment
mitch236 Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 The three lights on the front panel stay lit even when the ISY is off the grid. I think it's toast. I've ordered a replacement and if that works, then I'll send this unit back for repairs and keep it as a spare. Thanks! Link to comment
