Remotelinc - Cannot communicate with error

[rogressem]

I may have just forgotten how these Remotelincs are supposed to work. My old Remotelinc and new Remotelinc 2 work, but when I update scenes, both of them give me the 'Cannot communicate with .....' error and I get the red exclamation mark next to the Remotelinc objects in my lighting. But as soon as I actually use the remotelinc, it works fine and the red exclamation marks go away.

 

I did upgrade to the 3.1.10 beta firmware, but I didn't think this was related to the firmware, so I posted it here.

 

(To be honest, I'm confused about what the ISY is actually writing to, when the my lighting shows 'Writing' next to the remotelinc buttons just before the Cannot communicate error. It is my understanding that communications are one way from the remotelincs?)

When changing Scenes the RemoteLincs are a part of it is necessary to put the respective devices into linking mode so any changes that are necessary can be written to the device. Since RF devices sleep they cannot be accessed unless put into linking mode.

Hold the Bright and Dim buttons. Until the LED starts flashing. You then have about four minutes to write to the RemoteLinc.

 

If you have the Pro version. You can also set it to not automatically update battery powered devices.

Then individually put the RF device in the linking mode and then write to it.

Thanks....it had been so long I had forgotten how to setup Remotlincs. Everything is good now.
