I know how to use create/edit/clone to review the links for a device in the PH database, and I know how to use Reverify to confirm a specific link within a device itself.
What I need to know is: How do I Reverify the entire table on a device? In other words I want to manually read out the entire link table in a device to see if there are any unexpected junk links that the PH database doesn't know about. I would also see link numbers so I know if the device table is fragmented and needs a rebuild. I keep Background Status Check and Background Local Level Scan off for stability so PH won't eventually find them on it's own and anyway I want to be able to do a manually initiated interrogation of a specific device.
Also, how do I discover if a device has an X-10 address configured and if so, what it is?

Mike,
On the PowerHome main menu, go to Reports|Insteon|Device Link Records. This will show you a list of every link record in every device. It also shows you the record number so you can see if you've got any fragmentation.
To rescan an entire devices link table, go to the Insteon Units screen in PowerHome Explorer. Right-click the unit in question and choose "Scan Device Database" from the popup menu. This will flag the device for a total rescan. However, the scan won't take place unless the "Background Database scan" is checked. You can keep the "Background Status check" unchecked and this will disable automatic database scanning (ie when a change is detected). It will allow manually checking however as long as the BDS is checked.
No way to currently discover a devices X10 address (unless the device is a KPL and then the KPL Util will show you and allow you to change). I'll have this capability in the next beta.
Dave.

Being able to change X-10 addresses in a SwitchLinc would solve a whole bunch of problems for me! I will be working in a mixed environment for the forseeable future and working the X-10 side from PowerHome rather than at the switch itself will really help!
