I'm not sure if this is more of a PowerHome question, or a ControLinc question, so here goes.
I'm trying to do some trigger rules with PowerHome to detect when I puch the All on or All Off buttons. For some reason, PH doesn't see the All On or All Off signals. I have "Insteon In" turned on for logging, and PH see all of the other buttons when they are pushed, but not the "All On" or "All Off" presses. My ControLincs work perfectly to control the groups that I have set up just fine, but PH just isn't seeing them happen. One other possible symptom is that when I push one of the other group buttons, I see the light blink for several seconds afterword, indicating there's Insteon traffic, but when I push the All Off button, there's no extended blinking. Like I said, the lights all turn on and off as expected, it's just that PH isn't seeing it happen. I tried factory resetting the ControLinc, but that didn't change anything. Any suggestions?

I forgot to add, what's more, this was working just a few days ago. I would see a group 255 signal, but now I'm not seeing them anymore. Any ideas why not?

Skip,
Double check (using the Insteon Explorer) to make sure your usb or serial PowerLinc controller is still a responder to the ControLinc.
This can be seen by using the Insteon Explorer. Go to the links tab, and then in the middle window (Devices window), highlight your ControLinc. The bottom window (the responders) will then change. Make sure that the link between your ControLinc and Powerlinc is intact (verified).
If that linc is good, PH should see the "All Off" signal (and any other signals) from the ControLinc.

Yep, that link is intact for all three of my ControLincs, but the trigger doesn't work for any of them any more. The only thing that has changed recently was I had a SwitchLinc fail the night this trigger stopped working. I have disabled the switch in PH (made in not active) since I am waiting for the replacement to come in. I have factory reset each ControLinc, and manually deleted the PLC and relinked it in each ControLinc. In fact, I have two PLCs, and I have both of them linked into each ControLinc scene.

I have been reading my PH log a little more closely than I have in the past, and I see a lot of device "peeks". Are those bad?
Incoming Insteon received on Insteon DM controller PLC. From Address:[04.D0.A1] To Address:[08.A7.75] Flags:[43] Cmd1:[43] Cmd2:[0]. Decode: Direct ACK. From: BEDLAMP1 To: POWERLINC_USB, Peek
They will have different devices, flags, Cmd1's and Cmd2's. There's probably 10-20 different peeks over a 8 hour period (If I leave PH in the polling mode). I also have a number of "Unmapped commands". That one definitely sounds bad. Again, there's probably 10-20 of them over the night.

Peeks are just status reads. Not bad.

What about the "Unmapped Commands?"
Incoming Insteon received on Insteon DM controller PLC. From Address:[04.D1.7D] To Address:[08.A7.75] Flags:[38] Cmd1:[36] Cmd2:[0]. Decode: Direct ACK. From: BEDLAMP2 To: POWERLINC_USB, Unmapped Command
While I'm at it, I also have a lot of X-10 messages, but I don't have any X-10 devices set up. Would it be unusual to see X-10 messages in this case? I know there's a lot of similarity and cross compatibility between X-10 and Insteon, but don't know if PH can distinguish between the two of them in all cases.
Incoming X-10 received on Elk M1 Controller ELK. Raw Data: A0501 Decode: A5 {On}

How do I delete a device that does not exist? PH keeps that row in the link database as flagged for deletion, but since it doesn't exist anymore, it can never go away. I removed the device in the device screen, but can't remove the links in the link table.
