Here are the basic steps:
1.shutdown hs or the plugin (For PLC users: uninstall the SDM and the PLC hspi_insteon.dll
2.connect the new plm or hub (for usb PLMs note the com port created in the windows device manage)
3.restart hs or the plugin (For PLC users: install the new insteon plugin)
4.set the com port on the plugin config page if the com port changed or you are switching to the Hub
5.execute the Program Replacement/Swapped Interface function from the main config page (you will need to enter the insteon address of the OLD device)
6. you may run the swap again if it wasn't successful on certain devices. the routine only programs devices with the plm id. The plugin will wait for you to put RF devices into link mode, and then ask you to press a Continue button
7.once the swap is complete, reprogram existing groups from the Manage Groups page. select all the groups and click reprogram
8.click update insteon interface address database from main config page (this may not be necessary; will add missing links)
9.visit existing devices and delete any unnecessary links or reprogram the device if it is still referencing the old PLM address
10.wireless devices (MSs, TLs, etc) will have to reprogrammed one by one manually: delete existing links and reprogram the device for homeseer
Done.
Troubleshooting if communcations is not working as expected
1. click the hardware reset and reprogram interface btn from the main config page
2. reread and verify the links for the devices in question. reprogram as necessary.
Hope this helps.
