What am I missing? Can you not add PLC groups as responders in a ControLinc? I have created
PLC groups and want them to turn on and off with button pushes on a ControLinc.
When I push button 1, nothing happens. I do see in the log entries like "Incoming Insteon...
Decode: Group Cleanup. From SKIP_CONT_LINC To: POWERLINC_USB Group: 1, Off but no lights turn
on or off.

I forgot to say that I can control the groups from the PLC
Groups tab. When I press the "Control" button, I can
manually turn the lights on and off from there, so the
groups DO work. But it doesn't work as a responder from my
ControLinc.

No. You cannot invoke a PLC/PLM Group directly from any other controller. You have to define a Trigger that fires from the ControLinc button press and invokes the PLC/PLM Group. This is not unique to Powerhome. No controller device can invoke another controllers Group. At least not within the published Insteon commands. There have been rumors that I2 (Insteon 2) might implement such a capability but I have not seen anything formally documented about that capability being available. The potential for circular references could be why the function has not been made available.
