Posted January 9, 20205 yr I cannot bring an Insteon MS online after battery replacement. I clicked the setting button in the back to no avail. In the admin console, its icon in the devices tree has become a weird, 90 degree-rotated “Z”-like symbol too. How do I fix this?

January 11, 20205 yr On the old style Insteon MS each tap of the linking button should toggle the status of the MS, while not in linking mode. Seven quick taps will send the dark signal status. Holding the linking button until the LED starts blinking slowly will put it into linking mode. One more tap will put it into faster blinking which nobody knows the purpose, and a second tap will return it to normal mode. It may take a minute to return to normal mode if the button is not tapped twice again for status testing.
