Important Notes on New Remotes
New remotes are, by default, primary remotes (controllers).
This means that a new remote can:
• Create a new control network.
• Be added to an existing network as a secondary controller.
• Be added to an existing network as the new primary
controller. In this case, the original remote is converted into
a secondary controller.
• Delete nodes from an existing control network and reset
them to their factory defaults. If devices in an existing
network are deleted by a primary controller that is not part
of that network, the entire network may suffer reliability
and control problems.
- The original remote will not be able to control those
devices even though they are still listed in its device and
routing tables.
- Devices that normally receive routed (relayed) command
signals through the deleted devices may fail to operate
as expected.
- A deleted device can be added back into the network
with that network’s primary controller, however, the
network’s controllers will indicated “failure” when
attempting to use Group, Scene or All commands
that include the deleted devices. In this situation, the
only solution is to reset (delete) every device, reset the
controllers and recreate the network.
