KenN Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Okay, so I understand that the "replace with" function is intended for replacment of like devices, such as when the original device fails. However, I've got an Insteon dimmer (2477D) installed at a location - configured and working just fine in a few programs that I've set up. I now wish to replace the dimmer with a 6-key keypadlinc (2486DWH6). Now, it occurs to me that the top and bottom buttons are really identical to the dimmer, while the other 4 keys are extra functions. SoooOOOOooo ... if I install the keypad and start the replace function, telling the ISY to replace the keypad with the dimmer, will it work as I intend or is this just setting myself up for abject failure? (note: I did try a forum search to see what might crop up, but nothing quite the same came up in the search!) Thanks in advance, Ken.
LeeG Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Sorry, no. The Replace xxxx With presents a list of devices that can be selected as replacements. A KeypadLinc cannot be a replacement for a SwitchLinc.
KenN Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 Rats. Ah well, the dimmer is only used in two programs and one scene, so I guess rebuilding the config from scratch using the keypad won't kill me!
