bsobel Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 I finally installed my third ISY99i at a house that (mostly) had insteon switches installed. The system is working fine except for one 2476S rev 2.2 that the admin console finds easily but reports as 'unknown device'. I thought this switch was supported so stuck as to what to do next. The rest of the system is working fine. I ordered a replacement, but if it's a software issue I can return it before I install it. I'm on the current RC4 version released on the 12/20/12 Suggestions? Bill
bsobel Posted December 29, 2012 Author Posted December 29, 2012 Ok, I just noticed (I should have double checked) that the Insteon address reported by 'start linking' didn't match the actual address. The unit was 05.da.1f but we reported as 0c.b2.09.0 (and this happens consistently). Manually adding the device worked. Not sure if its a switch bug, PLM bug, or ISY bug. If there are any other test you'd like me to do please just LMK Bill
Michel Kohanim Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Hi Bill, Are you saying that the same switch reports a different ID when you use Start Linking (and does not register) but it does add properly (and ISY recognizes it) when added by its address? With kind regards, Michel
bsobel Posted December 30, 2012 Author Posted December 30, 2012 Correct. Start linking gets the wrong address and then reports unknown device. I pulled the faceplate to report the model number and that's when I realized the address didn't match. Manually added works fine. Best, Bill
Michel Kohanim Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Hi Bill, This is quite strange. Are you on 3.3.7? With kind regards, Michel
bsobel Posted December 30, 2012 Author Posted December 30, 2012 Yep on rc4 released on the 20th Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
LeeG Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 bsobel Has the 2476S been factory reset to see if that would resolve the address differences?
bsobel Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 Nope, hadn't done anything to the switch incase UDI wanted me to try anything. I'm leaving the cabin shortly but next pop up I'll do the reset and see, thanks for the suggestion. Bill
LeeG Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 bsobel What is being described is in theory an impossible situation unless the device is malfunctioning. That is why the question about factory reset. The way to verify this is to run Tools | Diagnostics | Event Viewer at LEVEL 3. Add the 2476S using Start Linking and post the event trace. That will show the device address and type information the 2476S provided to the ISY during the device add process. .
