 i've been reading the docs and browsing the forum and i guess there's just some basics i'm not getting.  i've used insteon for a year or so, but just doing simple tap links and using a PLC just as a simple timer and i've done ok with that.  with powerhome, i'm a bit confused..
 
 i've got my devices and plc learned into the system and i can control them from PH just fine (basic on, off, dim, etc..)...  i've figured out how to drag and drop links on the insteon "links" tab, although i can't figure out what "arrows" to use to add or delete a link from controllers/responders the help file and various posts are talking about.  perhaps someone can help me see something i'm obviously missing.
 
 i've got a lot to learn about this, but i'll start with just a simple question:
 
 i have "light-1" that is controlled by an icon dimmable switch.  this switch is cross-linked to a KPL, button "C".  i set this up some time ago with tap links and it works--button C illuminates when the light is on, etc., whether i turn it on at the icon switch or the KPL.
 
 how, exactly, do i manage this when i turn this light on from PH?
 
 right now, i can turn the light on from PH, but the KPL button A won't illuminate to show the on status.
 
 i know once i get the basics i'll be fine..  :)
 
 thanks,
 ken
