Hi - Ok - I converted from PLC to PLM following the instuctions here:

http://www.myx10.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1751&PN=1

I noticed afterwards that there were problems with my ControlLincs and KPL. They worked fine (i.e., press the key, and the desired event happens), but...

a) when pressing keys on a ControlLinc, the LED goes dark and then flashes several times in a manner that I am used to seeing when there is a COMM failure.

b) In Insteon Explorer -> Links, all the links were still associated with the old POWERLINC, there were no LINKS to the PLM (so how did everything work?)

So in Insteon Explorer -> Links, I went through all my keypad devices (Controllinc + KPL) and added a set of links to the PLM. The only difference was that for PLC the button # was always 0, which is illegal for PLM, so I made the button # match the group # (good guess?). Then I SAVED all the links out to the devices.   

I think it made things work better (I'm getting Group Cleanup Commands when before I got only Group Broadcast), but there are still problems:

1) the POWERLINC still shows up in the links of all the Keypad devices. I removed it from devices and now "UNKNOWN DEVICE" shows up in all these links - how do you delete a link?

2) problem a) from above still exists. (Controllinc's look like they're flagging an error whenever keys are stuck).

Did I do this right? What should I have done? (I did a db backup before i started so I can revert).

Thanks
/j

To delete a link drag the link to the device list and drop. PH should delete the link from the device and the PH database. Dropping the link on the Remove button only removes the link from the PH database, not the device itself.

If you used the Setup tab of Inteon Explorer to Clear and build the PLM database, be sure to the use the Add Full option.
