May 3May 3 I bought a used ISY994i ZW IR PRO for a backup and in attempting to test the IR the admin console says IR configuration not valid when I attempt to load default IR values. I have an IR.cfg from an ISY99i that is just XML with <ir> tags. Is it possible to just add that to zip file? Or is there a cleaner option? Also I bought a couple of IR daughter boards from UDI years ago as backups but didn't purchase IR module upgrades. Is the IR.cfg all that is needed? I'm assuming this sort of information is covered under "Right to Repair" law. Edited May 3May 3 by universal1
May 3May 3 If I remember correctly. The add on IR Module was needed for the IR module to work. After I got my IR module. UDI had to download something to my ISY994i.
May 4May 4 Author The previous owner had it working I imagine as the bottom label says ZW IR P{RO. I don't know what happened to block the IR function. Maybe he swapped out the SD card. Or maybe he moved his IR module function to a different unit? I'm pretty sure this is not a firmware issue but you never know.The IR tab appears in admin console but the load defaults might be needed to enter any IR button assignments. I guess I will try to put the IR.cfg into the zip file and see what happens. Backup first of course.
May 4May 4 I have the same recollection about needing the IR "module" for proper operation. If installed I expect it would show up under Help>>About>>Product.I also recall that the IR hardware could be added and removed but I don't remember enough about it to describe how one would recognize whether or not the hardware was installed.I think my old 994 had the IR module and, perhaps, still does. If I get ambitious, I will check.
May 4May 4 Author If you get really ambitious could you check your ISY994 SD card CONFIG folder for an IR.cfg file? Is it just <ir>..... </ir> with IR default codes in between?
