ItsMeBobO Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 in HWU there are multiple options to do this. I had several this year which didnt work one way but did work another. On lower left there is a change from and change to option. That always works. Are you able to see the controller after hitting refresh? Then the from - to should work for you.

danbeveridge Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 so glad to see you got it! i was just reading through and i have had a similar problem. As i have learned, always good to try every option from the "from". happy for ya, knows how it feels to be so close yet so far. Frustrations over! good for you! hope your show goes great! merry Christmas!
Don Coulon Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 Hi I'm having this same issue with one controller out of seven . It is the CTB16 Residential Series . I tried several times in the Hardware Utility and it still will not find it . The green status light does blink when unhooked and goes solid when data is hooked up . Is there a way to manual reset the board . Thanks Don

Thanks Don Documentation on the controllers and how to reset can be found here - http://www1.lightorama.com/documentation/ If you happen to have the Gen 3 residential controller the answer is located on page nine of the documentation:http://www1.lightorama.com/Documents/CTB16PCg3_UserMan_Web.pdf

It still wont change the ID It finds it now as 1 but I cant change it . On the light console I can turn the lights full on and off only no other command will work . On the select unit to configure it finds the unit as 01 - CTB16D Ver 4.T1 the only test that works is the chase sequence command . Should I just box it up and send it in to be checked out . Thanks Don
Mr. P Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 In the HU in the bottom left where you change the existing id did you set the "Old Unit ID" to "Any Unit" and the "New Unit ID" to whatever you want it to be. Keep in mind that the controller you are changing should be the only one connected.
