How to re-assign an existing device?

[kurelgyer]

I've been an Insteon / ISY user since the beginning, but I guess I've never tried to re-assign a device.  Is there an easy way?

 

I have a LampLinc Module that used to control accent lights in the kitchen.  It is entwined in various scenes and programs.

 

We recently moved to a new home and I would like to remove this module from all current associations and use it to control a living room lamp.

 

Do I have to manually find all scenes and programs it belongs to and remove each association?  And then factory reset the module to start it fresh?

 

Is there a way to remove the module in the ISY 994i that would in turn remove it from all existing links, scenes and programs?

 

Thanks.

I would think that removing the device from any folders then deleting the device would work.  My recollection is that it is not necessary to remove a given device from scenes or programs prior to deleting it completely from the ISY. 

 

Once deleted, perform a factor reset on the device and re-add it.

if you delete a device from the ISY it also gets removed from programs, however the program will contain a null where the device name was so the program won't function properly and might cause issues.
