    New Features

    - Supports the following new devices:
    1. Outdoor ApplianceLincs(2456S3E)
    2. Icon Dimmer (2876DB)
    3. In-LineLinc Relay with Sense (2475S2)

Please see the Smarthome manuals for what these settings mean or do. For example, you can now change an i2 KPL from 6 to 8 btn mode via the plugin! And remember to put the MSs & TLs into linking mode before programming the settings.

    - Provides custom settings for i2 Switchlincs and Lamplincs to disable the LED and/or the flashing when a command is transmitted. Disabling the LED may not work on all switchlincs but does seem to working on LampLincs.

    Special Notes:
    - Reread Settings and Links for i2 KPLs otherwise the UI may not reflect the correct 6 vs 8 btn configuration.

    - For PLM users only: All Smarthome devices with firmware 30 or greater support the i2 protocol. The i2 protocol is faster for reading and creating links. Check your insteon.ini to see if the Protocol key is equals 2 for each device based on the firmware version. If not shutdown hs and clear the value from the Protocol key, then restart HS. The plugin will recheck the device (when necessary) and save the appropriate Protocol value.

    Changes
    - A lot of the internal code changed to make this plugin more flexible as we move forward.
