To link the two do the following: put the plm into linking mode by pressing the set btn once. then put the kpl into linking mode by pressing the up paddle for 10 seconds until it beeps.Mark

You can run the Test Comm feature in the plugin to figure out if the placement of the AP is helping.Mark

Protocol i1 is very old. You will have to manually configure toggle btns. See the manual
If you just bought this kpl as new, I would return itMark

Volume Control?
Two questions...
1) I noticed that there isn't an option for "Toggle Off" (only Toggle On). I am still playing around with my configs so I'm not sure what I need/want but just thought I'd mention it since I do see that setting in the HouseLinc software
2) Any thoughts on how to set a button up to control volume? For example, I have a HS device set up to control the volume on my audio matrix. I am hoping to use this keypad so that each time I press a button, it increases the volume. For example, if I press button D 4 times, it increases the volume by 4 steps. My biggest hurdle is when I press the button 4 times in a row, Homeseer seems to only register one of those button presses. When I do the same in HouseLinc, I can see a 4 button presses in the log. I know this is possible because Insteon has this set up with Sonos (using their own hub).
