Configuring EZSrve (EZServe) from XML files

The Simplehomenet EZSrve INSTEON controller can be restored with saved XML files.

Applies to Version 01.60 February 2, 2009

  • Press and hold the EZSrve reset button for 15 seconds.
  • Wait for the EZSrve to finish rebooting and connect with a web browser.
  • Location Configuration -> Manually enter latitude and longitude or use the Find function
  • Notice that sunrise and sunset times are not correct. Fix them in the next step.
  • Server Configuation -> set the time zone and save it.
  • Check the sunrise and sunset times on the Location Configuration page to make sure they are correct.
  • Upload saved XML files from the Server Configuration screen. Do not upload the scenes.xml file, it is not required.
  • RESTART from the Server Configuration page. Check that all things are configured.
  • If the scenes do not work, then sync the EZServe from Device Manager screen.

This procedure is subject to change with the next version of software.

Note: Always clear cache in your browser before downloading the XML files. If you don't, you won't get the latest XML file.
