Replacing LampLinc with Dual-Band

[upstatemike]

Just got a Dual-Band Lamplinc to test out and went to replace an existing Lamplinc only to discover my new device is not listed in the replace dropdown. I'm using FW 2.7.8 Is this normal? Do I have to maunually delete the old Lamplinc and add the dual-band to all of the related scenes?

Hi upstatemike,

 

Can you tell me the exact description of your old lamplinc? Just rechecked and it should be supported.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

 

It depends on the lamp

The module I wanted to replace was a 24456D2 2-pin V.24 lamp module but when I right clicked on it and selected "replace module with", the new Dual-Band LampLinc that I had just added to my ISY did not appear in the dropdown. (It only offered SocketLincs and other 2-pin lamp modules).

 

The new module is a B24572 lampLinc BiPhy v.3A and I went ahead and added it to the scenes manually instead of using replace.

 

I suggest any lamp module should be able to select any other lamp module type (2-pin, 3-pin, or Dual Band) as well as the SocketLinc as a potential replacement.

Hi upstatemike, this might be due to the level of ISY firmware you have. In the code, this is supported in 2.7.9 and 10.

OK, Thanks. I'll migrate to the next non-alpha rev that comes out.
