Upgrade from 4.7.3


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi: I'm having trouble upgrading firmware from 4.7.3 - (on a MAC)

I have ISY launcher installed, when I download the firmware upgrade it downloads a file folder called insteon 5 - inside the folder are three folders - Code, Def, Web.  when I try to upgrade the only file that gives me the open option is a file called insteon.img. If I try and load it, it runs a java script and then stops and does nothing. 

Have I got the right file? or what is going on?

Help?

It sounds like you're unzipping the file.  It shouldn't be unzipped.  The current file on my Mac is called: Insteon_5.0.16.zip (6,553,694 bytes (7.4 MB on disk)).  You install the firmware upgrade from the zip file.

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply!

Not intentionally unzipping.  The files are downloading unzipped automatically as far as I can tell (no zip extension on the insteon folder)

.  Anyway to prevent this?

If you're using Safari, you can go to menu "Safari | Preferences" and select the "General" tab, and uncheck the box at the bottom (Open "safe" files after downloading).

admin:admin

Make sure to do a backup before upgrading!  Reverting is easy, should you need to, with a good backup.

Thanks,,, did a backup - stuck on password - my old password doesn't do it and neither does admin - admin.  

??

userid: admin

password: admin

The password and user revert to the defaults.  This should work.

EDIT: From the release notes:

 Important User/Password changes:

-      If your current version is 5.0.7 or earlier, then after installing 5.0.8 or later your userid and password will be reset back to the system default.

-      If you restore a backup created from 5.0.7 or earlier, your userid and password will be reset back to the system default.

-      If you downgrade from version 5.0.8 or later to version 5.0.7 or earlier then after installing version 5.0.7 or earlier, you will have to Factory Reset the ISY and optionally install a backup taken in that version or earlier.

That seems a bit too drastic.  You might try this: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Resetting_Your_ISY

Reset Username and Password to Defaults

    Use a sharp object to push and hold in the Reset Button till the RX, TX, Mem, Error lights start blinking (every second)
    Continue holding for another 5 seconds till the RX, TX, Mem, Error lights turn on/off consecutively (RX -> Tx -> Mem -> Error)
    Release
