andyf0 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I took advantage of the ISY99i Pro to ISY994i Pro upgrade offer today. If I do a backup, change out the box and then restore, are all the settings also restored? Like EMail settings, NTP settings, location etc. How about http IP and https IP address settings? Is this something I need to set aside some time to do or will it be a quick and simple process? (I know, it's never that easy ). Link to comment
oberkc Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I just performed this upgrade. For the most part in my case, it was as simple as you describe it (assuming one keeps the same PLM). All devices and programs transferred without any apparent problem. The exceptions for me: a) I had to reset my location, for time and sunset purposes. I had to request transfer of my X-10 module. Painless and quick. Response from UD was near instantaneous. c) Internet access required a visit to my router settings. I had to reconfigure my port-forwarding rules to match the new address for the upgraded controller. d) updating the port number in the ISY settings to match the router. Once done, mobilinc on all my tablets and phones synced up without a problem and all was well with the world. Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Thanks oberkc ... I am not sure why time settings were wiped out. We should look into it. Andy, in addition, you will need to change our beloved QueryAll program to point to the new ISY (My Lighting if you are upgrading from 99). With kind regards, Michel Link to comment

With kind regards, Michel I've seen many mentions of this "QueryAll" program. I understand it does a Query on all devices at 3am in the morning. Is it a default program in the ISY? I don't have it, never used it, never needed to use it. My device status' seem to update just fine. Link to comment
Xathros Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 And, If you use the network module and have anything in the webserver folder, you will need to copy that down and upload it to the 994 after you are set up. The backup does not copy anything in the webserver. -Xathros Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hi Andy, QueryAll is only there for cases where you need more accurate status information especially if you use a lot of Dim/Bright AND if you use status of devices in programs. Xathros, you are 100% correct. I had completely forgotten. With kind regards, Michel Link to comment

andyf0 Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 It was fairly easy to get the 994i up and running. What had to be re-entered 1. UserID & Password 2. NTP Server 3. SMTP settings 4. Current location and timezone I think that was all. Took about 1/2 hour including resetting the 99i back to factory setup. Edit: Curious, I thought the 994i had an expansion slot for additional radios. I don't see any blanks or slots where another radio might fit. Link to comment
