Re: [mh] Insteon PLM scene issue

Just to follow up on this for anyone that might find this later: I ended 
up doing a factory reset on the re-capped PLM followed by a "global - 
force scan all device link tables" and a "global - sync all links" and 
the PLM link table now looks complete and the scenes are working again!

Cheers!
