Well, got the replacement v2.2 dongles, have four Venstars to fix up. Very easy process. The steps in bold are things often forgotten.

 

 

Turn thermostat to OFF (mode).

 

Pull out the 2.1 dongle.

 

Insert the 2.2 dongle.

 

In ISY admin, Activate Link management, Start linking.

 

Push and hold the button on the 2.2 dongle for five seconds, the thermostat screen will flash all its LCD elements.

 

Finish Link Management in the ISY admin.

 

Four new links will appear for the new dongle. You can test that they correctly control the stat.

 

Move your old thermostat links from any folder, to the root folder.

 

Right click on the main link of your old dongle's group.

 

Select Replace with, and select your newly added dongle group.

 

Let her go, it will take a little while. When it is done, the ISY admin will close.

 

 

Open ISY admin back up, you will see that the newly added dongle group is gone, references to your old dongle adapter have all been moved over not just in the device list, but also correctly reassigned throughout your programming.

 

All good.
