ISY994i out of mothballs

[SteveT]

Hi - brought the old unit out of retirement - and after the factory reset was able to get into the box.

However, I will not be using Insteon, only Z-Wave but the unit is booting to safe mode.

In my policy, I see the option to disable Insteon under system but not under 5.3.4 which is the last firmware?

Anyone else have success?

Thank you-Steve

First off….what Z-wave card do you have in the device? If it is not the 500 series you might need a lower version that supported the 300 series card.

If you have the 500 then you want to get the firmware version that doesn’t have a PLM. From the 5.3.4 release post you’ll see this:

3.  Download firmware

  -  ISY 994i Series including Z-Wave support

  -  ISY 994i ZW, Z, or ZS Series (Z-Wave/Zigbee and/or if you do NOT have a PLM)

You want to download the second option “do NOT have a PLM”. This will allow the ISY994 to work without Insteon support and thus not looking for a PLM and will not be in “safe mode”.
