Blue Memory light flashing slowly

[birdman]

I just started having trouble accessing my ISY through MobiLinc so I went downstairs to check the ISY and noticed the blue memory light is flashing (maybe once every 4 or 5 seconds). 
I can access the Admin Console through my desktop and control the lights  and all my programs are running fine but I can’t connect with MobiLinc and the flashing light suggests something is not working. 

Any thoughts? Thx in advance

Flashing blue is a SD memory card issue.

Try reseating the SD card issue. It can be cleaned with a pencil eraser before reseating

If its an older ISY 994i, chances are the card needs to be replaced

Thx. I have a 994i and there is no SD card in the slot. Never had one. Just now this morning both the Blue memory and Red error light started flashing together - continuous flash off and on. I unplugged and plugged it back in but still flashing.

There is an SD Card. The SD card is essentially the hard drive of the ISY. The operating system and all of your automation are stored there.

Though this article is for the ISY26, it is still relevant

Figured it out. I see that when both lights are flashing that seems to suggest it could be a network issue. I changed the Ethernet plug connecting the ISY to my switch and that seems to have solved it. I didn’t think Ethernet cables go bad but this one seems to have a damaged clip on the end so wasn’t seating properly. I think this fixed it. Thx.

With out an SD card it should be impossible to even use it as it is where all the module information and programming is stored.

I believe the early versions of the ISY994i had it internally and you have to remove the top.

Very interesting. I have had this ISY 994i for a long time and while there is a micro SD slot in the front I have never put one (and it sure doesn’t look like it has one inserted into the slot).

 I had to take the top off mine to get to the SD card. Mine didn't align up well with the slot and when I clicked it to remove it fell into the unit. 😀
