raptor Posted January 11, 2018 Author Posted January 11, 2018 I assume faulty devices are always a possibility. Unfortunately, the only way I know to identify them is to eliminate all other possibilities. I don't know of anything else to try to eliminate as a possibility. If anyone has any other idea for something else I can try I'm open to it. I might contact the supplier I bought it from to see if there willing to swap it for a new one.
Michel Kohanim Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 raptor, I am assuming that ISY recognized the type of the device. If so, the issue is that you have reached the max limit. Please try upgrading to PRO (Help / Purchase Modules). With kind regards, Michel

Please try upgrading to PRO (Help / Purchase Modules). With kind regards, Michel Yes the ISY did recognize the type of device as a 8 button dimmer. Can I really be at the limit with 90 devices? If I add the old device back it successfully adds all 8 buttons. Additionally I deleted around 10 devices last night that were no longer in use. That being said I went to (help/purchase modules) and it says no additional modules available so I assume I already have pro.
Michel Kohanim Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Hi raptor, Is this a 99 or 994? You can check the model number by going to Help | About. The max is 254 nodes=each button, each scene, each folder is one node. With kind regards, Michel
raptor Posted January 11, 2018 Author Posted January 11, 2018 99i/IR. If it's being maxed out is it possible that the devices I have deleted are still there somewhere but I just can't seem them. With the ones I have deleted last night I have less nodes then before I changed the switch. And I'm sure the first time I added the new one it did add all the buttons. Is it possible that after adding and delete the new switch that it never got properly deleted each time so all those nodes are still there somewhere?
Michel Kohanim Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Hi raptor, In that case, the issue is that 99i does not support the newer INSTEON devices. With kind regards, Michel
raptor Posted January 11, 2018 Author Posted January 11, 2018 Are the older version of switches still available? If how do I know which are compatible? If I upgrade to a 994 are the settings transferable from the 99i or will I have to reprogram the entire system?
MWareman Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Are the older version of switches still available? If how do I know which are compatible? If I upgrade to a 994 are the settings transferable from the 99i or will I have to reprogram the entire system? You *should* be able to backup your 99i, and restore to your 994i. I’d open a ticket to ensure that a 3.x firmware backup file can be read by a much later 994 firmware though. You may have to put an early firmware on the 994 first to do the config upgrade, then come up to the latest version. If you have any modules on your 99i, you’ll need to open a ticket with UDI to transfer those over to your new 994. Michael.
