Re: [mh] 2413S vs 2413U

Sounds like you found the web interface for the Insteon commands.  For 
others that come across this thread, they can be found as follows:

 1. Start a browser and point it at MisterHouse's server port 8080 (e.g.
    "http://my-server:8080")
 2. Click "Mister House Home"
 3. Click "Browse Categories"
 4. Click "Insteon"

I'm running MH 4.2 build 479 with the IA7 web interface.  Other versions 
of the web interface may use different titles or possibly organize the 
pages differently.
