After installing 2342 Mini Remotes, the ON button works, but the OFF button does not. I've tried two different 4 channel and an 8 channel version and tried every combination of linking to HS3, rescanning, and reinstalling that I could think of . Any guidance would be appreciated.

I have several of the 2342 devices. Both 4 button and 8 button. I find it to be a bit tricky to create a good user experience. Here are some thoughts:
1. I don't rely on the ON/OFF status of the button. Instead, I just test for whether the button has been pressed by using the Insteon Transmits and On Command or Transmits an Off command. I test for either in the event as a trigger and then take the appropriate action. Alternatively, just test whether the device has been set or changed. It kind of depends on the use. The easytrigger toggle command works real well with these remotes.
2. With the 4 button, I just label each as one thing and it doesn't really matter where the button is pressed. Since I test for either, it works nicely.
3. On a button where the result is not obvious (ie. setting the thermostat), the event will often speak something so the user knows it was accepted. I find the LED to be mostly useless.
Below are several events to illustrate. Miniremote 1 and 2 are a 8 button and Miniremote 3 is a 4 button.

You don’t need to manually link a device; I just want to know if that fixes the off issue.
the plugin will create the links. Typically only one link per button is required. It defines the On settings. The Off is assumed.Mark

Cunning!!
Coming from StarGate, this gets around the missing "idle" mode.
Works great.
Thanks again!

Yes. Both versions are working well (so far) with the "fix" and using logbuilder's "Insteon Transmits and On Command or Transmits an Off command" suggestion.
These Insteon Minis are pretty nice. I just wish they weren't so pricey. (The old similar X-10 remotes or their "palms" could be had for around $5).
