I recently upgrade from 4.7.x to 5.0.16c.  I have noticed that if I query all from top of tree it takes several minutes to go through the device list.  Was considerably faster under older firmware.  Is this normal.?  Approximately 300 devices in system.

Second question.  Have searched extensively but cannot find link capacity for ISY994i pro.

You don't say what the full time difference is but 300 devices should take a while with any firmware.

I'm thinking it doesn't ever get the Query All done.  After your reply I ran it and at 3 minutes and 10 seconds, it showed 30% complete and then stopped.

And my link count is 1057.  Something has changed I think, I haven't really added anything other than a couple of remotes in several years.  Last time I did the count it was under 500.

Looks like I have some work to do.

 

Actually, the link count I gave you was from the PLM.  Sorry about that.

With 300 devices I'm hard pressed to believe that you only have 500 links. That would mean you only have standard switches with no scenes at all

When I run a topology report and copy into a spreadsheet it takes 357 lines.  I noticed that keypads and other devices with sub devices have a line for each sub device.   There are about 25 keypads, 20 motion detectors and 9 water sensors.  That would account for about 230 of the lines.   Am I wrong to assume each sub device counts towards the actual device total?

You are correct. The keypads alone is about 200 links. This is before adding the rest of your devices and creating scenes and so forth between the rest of your devices. 

Most likely your plm is maxed out. Im surprised you were able to even add that many devices to your system.

i believe this is why the Isy is stopping after 30%. Most likely the behavior you're seeing now is the correct behavior while it wasn't really doing it's proper run prior

That count also includes a lot of inventory that was used seasonally in the PST but is sitting in bins.  I think I will delete all of those devices to start with and reassess.

I appreciate your help and insight.

thanks again

That would slow things down as well since the system will continuously look for them before giving up. When removing devices, make sure you disable them in the system (right click on device>disable

Prior to removing the unused devices from service, I put each in DISABLE mode. 

To ensure my understanding, they should stay in DISABLE when I hit DELETE?

It doesn't matter what they are in when you hit delete

Very good - thank you
