Hidden "beep when pressed" feature?

Featured Replies

I just came across an interesting twist with a used 2477D that I just acquired locally (as a spare). I hooked up power to it, and it worked normally, but it would do a short beep every time that I turned it on or off manually. Then I linked it to a test Polisy and that went fine, but still did the beep thing when operated manually. It wouldn't do that when controlled by the Polisy. So I though I'd factory reset it (airgap) and the beep thing stopped. But surprise: doing a "restore device" from the Polisy restored the beep. As if it was part of the configuration information that it obtained from the switch when I first linked it. Ok, so now I deleted it from the Polisy, and factory reset it again, and relinked it again as a new switch. Now the beep is gone, just like a 2477D usually works. There is no settable feature in IoX for beep on touch, but it looks like the switch can be set to do that. It had been used with an Insteon hub. Interesting.

@Guy Lavoie there used to be a beep function. It wasn't very loud and I'm not sure how many used it. Did they take it away? No, I just looked in my eisy (6.0.5) and it's still there. Like the "Backlight" and "Ramp Rate" setting you have to press the label next to the setting to write it to the device. I didn't test it (don't want to goof up my working device(s). It's an annoying little beep/chirp if I recall. I used it for a while on one program and my kid made fun of how wimpy it sounded that you had to be right next to it if there was any other sound in the room to hear it. So I turned it off.

I tried writing that very setting to the switch (with a value of 0) but that wouldn't disable the beep.

Air gap is n

Air gap is not a factory reset if I take that statement literally. The button that does the air gap has to be pushed and held 10 seconds-ish until until the sound changes.

Yes that's what I did, which includes then pressing and holding it in until it beeps continuously and then stops. That did clear it, but restoring the switch had brought back the beep. That's why I then deleted it from IoX, followed by another factory reset.
