Micro SD - Red Blinking LED

[Gaetan]

I bought a ISY994i ZW/IR PRO + PLM from Smarthome two weeks ago and connected it for the first time tonight. No Joy

A few seconds after I power-up the ISY, the red light start blinking.

The Micro SD card from the ISY can be read from Windows and the directory tree is as follow:

├───CODE
├───CONF
│   ├───BILLING
│   ├───D2D
│   ├───MAIL
│   ├───NET
│   ├───OADR
│   └───SEP
├───LOG
├───TMP
├───USER
│   └───WEB
└───WEB

I pulled and re-inserted the micro SD card a few times and I always get the same result.

I FAT32 formatted a brand new Samsung 32GB and copied the content of the original ISY SD card to the new SD card and rebooted the ISY994i. Still a red blinking light.

What do you recommend I do next?

The ISY supports up to a 16 GB SD card, did you follow the instructions below?

 

In some instances you may want to replace your SD card. For example:

 You are experiencing a blinking ERR light which could indicated a bad SD card.

The ISY supports up to a 16GB SD card.

Once your SD card is replaced, you will need to re-load the firmware onto your ISY as well

as restore your configuration from a backup. Please be sure to have a good backup before

attempting an SD card upgrade.

With you ISY you have an externally accessible SD card. Simply unplug all cables from

your ISY, pull out the old SD card, and insert the new SD card. You will also need to reload

the firmware onto your ISY. Proceed to the paragraph labeled “Reloading The ISY

Firmware and Restoring From Backup.”

 

 

Reloading the ISY Firmware and Restoring From Backup

Once you’ve replaced your ISY’s SD card, you will need to re-load the firmware as well as

restore your configuration from a backup.

 Boot your ISY with the new SD card installed

From a PC on your LAN, visit the following URL to launch the Administrative Console and

locate your ISY (This link may not work with Chrome):

http://isy.universal...com/994i/4.2.30

 Login to the Administrative Console (default username and password are both “admin”)

 Click on the HELP pull-down menu, then MANUALLY UPGRADE MY LIGHTING.

 Browse to the firmware file you wish to install. If you do not have a copy of the ISY

firmware, please visit our forum for the download link:

http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewforum.php?f=25

 After the firmware is installed your ISY reboots. Please re-launch the Administrative

Console and login: http://www.universal-devices.com/994i

 Click on the FILE pull-down menu, then RESTORE ISY and choose your last backup.

Thank you for the additional information.

I performed these additional actions:

• Formatted a new 4GB Micro SD card and copied the original ISY Micro SD card content to the new Micro SD card.
• Powered up the ISY .... blinking Error led.
• Downloaded insteon_4.6.2.zip and extracted to the new Micro SD card after I reformatted it once more.
• Powered up the ISY .... blinking Error led.

Through an exchange with Michel from UDI, he confirmed that the ISY994i is defective. I will be asking for a replacement from where I bought it (Smarthome).

Copying the original data may be copying corruption.

Normally, you boot ISY with a blank card and it will rewrite its file system. Once written you use the admin console to restore a backup - or reconfigure from scratch.
