0.0.2.16 confused. Any recovery for this?

[Eug]

Yesterday I received an ApplianceLinc from Smarthome to replace the one they had previously sent me with ICON firmware in it. I thought I might save myself some time by using the "replace" feature in the plug-in.

As a result of the replace, the plug-in appears to have forgotten my PowerLinc's address, so it thinks that all links to the PowerLinc are to an unregistered device, and while I can send commands to my various Insteon devices, I can't receive anything from them.

Is there any recovery for this or is my attempt to save some time going to require me to completely redo my whole Insteon setup? (And even then, I'm not sure how I would get it to a state where I can start over)

Here's an example of the problem from the page of one of the devices:

------ Link table present in remote device: ------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Link# 1 - Switch/Load is controlled by Stairs Light (slave) (00.1E.D9) (Using Insteon Link# 1) Switch/Load
Link# 2 - Switch/Load controls Stairs Light (slave) (00.1E.D9)
Link# 3 - Switch/Load is controlled by Unregistered Device (05.FB.CE) (Using Insteon Link# 254) Unknown

Link# 5 - Switch/Load is controlled by Unregistered Device (05.FB.CE) (Using Insteon Link# 24) Unknown - On Level 25%, Ramp Rate 2 Sec.

So SmartHome shipped ApplianceLincs with Icon Firmware in it?

Every time I tap-Add my new ApplianceLinc, HS says it's an ICON. Maybe that's what's wrong? One other quirk of this is that the LED is much, much brighter than on all the other modules. If you plug them in back-to-back, you'll see it's exactly the same brightness as the SignaLinc.

HS reports:
Device Type: ICON ApplianceLinc, Firmware Version: 28

It sounds like you used the replace PLC option instead of the replace device option? Do you have any more details on what you did and what the result was?
