Removing a device to replace it

[ctwilliams]

OK, I know this is one of those 'if it was a snake it would have bitten you' kinds of questions, but how do i remove a device (keypadlinc in this case) from ISY to replace it with a new one? (And I mean physically replace the dead switch).

 

I see references to when to do it when I search, but now how to do it.

 

Thanks..

This is the way I have done it in the past. It only works if you are replacing with a similar model device. ie. replacing a kpl dimmer with another kpl dimmer, or an icon relay with another icon relay.

 

First, physically replace the switch. Write down the insteon address for pairing with the ISY PLM.

 

Go to the ISY admin console and pair the device with the ISY/PLM. Don't worry about renaming at this point.

 

After you've done that, you can right click on the device you are replacing and select "Replace device with..." from the contextual menu. Select the device you just installed from the list. From there, the ISY takes care of the rest.
