andyf0 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I'm going to be swapping out 2 ApplianceLincs with Dual Band Lamplincs. As I understand it I can't use "Replace Device" because they're different types. Can I just delete the device and the ISY will go and update all the scenes etc that it is a part of or do I have to go and manually remove the devices from all the scenes before deleting the device?
LeeG Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Just delete the device. The Scenes and Programs are not deleted. Only the references to the device are removed.
andyf0 Posted April 26, 2011 Author Posted April 26, 2011 Will the links inside the AppliancLinc be deleted when I delete the device or will a factory reset be needed on the device? I just intend to keep these in a box as backup units.
LeeG Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I've not traced a Delete but from the speed I would say that all active links are not deleted. Use the "Remove existing links" the next time it is added to the ISY. It is a good idea to Factory reset a device before adding it so that would take care of the links as well.
Sub-Routine Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Delete Device will reset the link table on the deleted device to zero. It works quickly because it resets the End Of File mark instead of deleting all existing links. As Lee writes I always factory reset before adding a new device. Rand
