If a scene change via ISY didn't properly clean up link tables in insteon devices, is there a way to edit the table to manually remove links through ISY or do I have to factory reset all devices with the bad links? I know ISY can display the link table but I don't see a way to force down changes.

I'm not clear on how this link option works. It doesn't appear to crawl the network or import the PLM table but rather to just enter linking mode waiting for me to press the link button on all devices. I get this progress bar, but nothing happens, and when I make a selection and click finish, the progress bar goes away. I found this option under Add device, but it doesn't appear to do anything either... Unless it's working in the background and I can't see it.

Okay thanks. That’s a big bummer as I have been using this PLM and an Insteon hub for years and can’t go resetting all my devices. follow up question. Since eISY knows what’s in the link table on the PLM is there a way for me to manually add the devices to eISY by entering the name and Insteon address?

It’s a 2413U.

I've been an HCA user for years and have always heard about the power if ISY, so I finally dove in and bought an eISY. I connected my old PLM with over 50 devices and numerous scenes in the link table, and am able to see those links, but I can't find a way to add those devices to ISY without re-linking everything one by one which I assume will wreck all my scenes. Any ideas?

I've been expanding Insteon throughout my house over a couple years. I've had my Generac 20Kw with Auto Transfer for this entire time. Only recently did I notice anything running on insteon switches (mostly LED but also incandescent) flash off/on in unison when running on generator power. I have a PLM (on a PC) and hub and both are on a UPS so they can receive signals from wireless only devices while the power is off. It did not occur to me that the flashing was a result of insteon traffic as suggested in this post. After the blackout I tried to reproduce the effect (only once) by manually transferring to generator power. I did not experience the flashing. My previous theory was that somehow the transfer switch was still partly connected to the street, and only when street power was down would the problem exist, but I guess I need to try again and ensure there is insteon traffic to test for flashing. Is everyone certain it's the insteon traffic that is causing the flashing?
