Converting from 2412

[paauto]

My ISY 99 and PLM arrived today. Looking forward to playing with it after I get the kids to bed. I reviewed the wiki, but have some basic questions. I currently have about 60 devices, which I run with a 2412 SmartLinc. My first step will be to link my existing devices to the ISY, then replicate the scenes.

 

Question - I have a spreadsheet with details on all my Insteon devices (where they are, what they're linked to, Insteon address, etc). Can I simply enter the Insteon address in to the ISY or do I actually need to walk around and manually link? Several of my devices are in junction boxes, so would like to avoid. I would like to also maintain the existing linkages between the devices, but should I erase the linkages and start over?

In the Add a New Insteon Device from Link Management.

You can type in the six digit hex ID if you know them.

Give them a name for My Lighting.

Use the Auto Discover for device type.

Choose to keep existing links in device.

Though I believe that is also going to see the 2412Ns ID in them and maybe get messed up.

That way you don't have to physically hold each modules Set Button.

I started from scratch when I did mine.
