Dead Mini Remote Key Pad

[Jgdavis14]

Is there a simple way to copy the settings of a mini remote to a new one?   One of my remotes won't hold a charge more than a few clicks.   I wish they had replaceable batteries and it wasn't necessary to purchase new.

Thanks.

Skip this, read my next post

I don't think wireless devices are supported by the ISY's "Replace Device with..." function.

What you can do:

• For scenes, you can put the new remote in linking mode and add the new buttons, one at a time, to the scenes that the old remote supported.
• For programs, you'll do a similar thing..  right click on the main program folder and pick 'find and replace' to replace the buttons one at at time in programs.
• Then simply single click on the old defective remote, and press delete to get rid of the old device and its presence in scenes

I'd back up before, and after... and test everything.

Negative my last. I believe you can use "replace with ..."

1. Install the new remote and name it the same plus a 1 or something on the end
2. Right click on the old remote and pick "remove from folder"
3. Put the new remote in linking mode by pressing and holding its set button
4. Right click on the old remote in the root folder and pick "Replace <old device> with <new device>
5. Let it finish
6. Test
7. Single click on the old remote, press delete
8. Rename the new remote by removing the 1 at the end so the new one has the same name as the old
