What is the impact of deleting a motion sensor, or any other battery operated device for that matter that the Admin Console requires you to place in linking mode to complete the delete operation?

 

If one will never see the device again, presumably all the cleanup on the controller/PLM is complete, and the any references in the battery operated device need to be cleaned up. Is this the case? If so, is there any problem deleting the device node in the Admin Console if the device will never be on the network again, and it is not possible to put the device in linking mode to complete the documented step?

Hello matapan,

 

The reason is - and as you noted - if you were to use this device somewhere else, then it would still have links left from ISY. So, when you delete a device, ISY tries to remove all ISY related links.

 

If you feel you are not ever going to use this device, then you can ignore the instructions .. the only issue will be that ISY will try each command 3 times and thus it might take a little longer to be removed.

 

With kind regards,

Michel
