Siren just a piece of plastic?

Does anyone know if/when the Insteon Siren Model:2868-222 will be detected and usable by the ISY994i?

The Hub seems to accept it, but you can only arm/disarm it with the Hub.

I hate using the Hub when I have a perfectly useful ISY.

It should work in the latest firmware release 5.0.16A

Which ISY firmware version are you using

I have installed a few in 5.0.16A myself.

It was not in the last official 4.7.3.

I'm using 4.7.3, guess I'll have to bite the bullet and upgrade to 5.0.16A.

I understand a lot can go wrong with this upgrade.

I can always go back and wait for the official if I have trouble!

You'll still have to do the same things with the official version so you might as well get it out of the way

If you take the few precautions that have been well documented, the upgrade goes well.

My upgrade was smooth as silk!

I did a backup and got this zip file:  ISY-Backup.v4.7.3__Tue 2019.12.17 05.31.39 PM.zip

When I unzip it, just to be nosy, I find another zip file:  uuid.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.fb.zip,  I inserted the x's

This zip file can't be unzip'd because it's invalid, although it's 94k in length.

Is that to be expected? I really don't look forward to starting over with more than 100 devices and 75 programs.

Yes it's expected. The isy unzips the file to read. Your computer can't do it

Well, I bit the bullet and a lot of stuff doesn't work.

Was I suppose to restore the 4.7.3 backup?

On the Program Summary page I get a bunch of lines that say -Not Loaded- and Out of Memory.

How do I get that fixed?

First of all, do your firmware and UI versions match?  If they do, then I think you can just resave those programs.  If they don't match, use the ISY Launcher to start the Admin Console.:

Yea, my UI version was not updated. After fixing that, the program problem went away.

There are a few more problems, but I'll see what I can do to get things straitened out.

When I'm totally out of ideas and can't find solutions elsewhere, I'll start another topic.

Thanks for everyone's help.
