Bad SD Card Issue

[LarryC1116]

I have two home - both with ISY-99i Pro. I have had the same symptoms at both. Things work for months, I leave and come back to a blinking red error LED. I finally debugged one of the devices at one house and decided it was a bad SD card (after combing your great forum). I put in a new 512MB SD card and upgrades to latest firmware the restored my ISY settings from a backup. All appears well.

 

What can I do to not have SD card issues? In my other devices I do not have SD issues.

 

P.S. The SD card I pulled out of my ISY when the error light was blinking was readable in my PC SD card slot and only 8MB of the 128MB card was used

Hello LarryC1116,

 

First of all, apologies for the inconvenience.

 

You should not have to do anything! We do use quality SD Cards and they should last years.

 

The only thing I recommend is to make sure you have release 2.7.15 installed since we added CRC error detection which should help with errors communicating with the SD Card.

 

If you are using your own SD Card, please do ensure that you use a new one and a good brand.

 

With kind regards,

Michel
