ctownj30 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I recently moved and rather than do a factory reset of my ISY, I simply deleted all devices (Insteon and Zwave) so that as I rebuild things, I can have access to all my old programs as models (and to avoid doing the high level config again). I have one zwave device that will not delete for some reason. I can delete it and it disappears, but when I log out and back in, it shows back up. Its strange too because I'm not even totally sure this is a device I ever had in the first place (don't think I had anything with a Glass Break Alarm or Intrusion Alarm???). Any idea what is going on here? Also, am I going to regret not just doing a factory reset before rebuilding? Thanks! -dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilyoyo1 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 You'll probably regret things. I tried that once and quickly realized it took me more time that way than had i done things properly from the start. One thing about systems such as the Isy is that shortcuts usually hurt more than they help. When you delete a zwave device, you're only deleting the node from the console. The information is still retained by the board. To truly remove something, you have to do an exclude. If I were you, I'd factory reset the zwave board and isy for a fresh start. You can always copy your programs (i prefer pictures) somewhere to use as a cheat sheet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisC Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) Have you tried right clicking the device and selecting zwave - synchronize? Edited December 26, 2020 by DennisC clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
