insteon tech questions

Two questions:

(1) I have a remotelinc, a switchlinc V2 (in wall dimmer) with no load, and
a lamplinc with a lamp. How do I link all of them together such that both
the remotelinc and the switchlinc control the lamplinc, and the LEDs on the
switchlinc reflects the brightness of the lamp on the lamplinc even if the
remotelinc was used to turn it on?

I have established the 2 access points and have linked the switchlinc to the
lamplinc, but could not link the remotelinc to the switchlinc or the
lamplinc. This is not a simple one controller to one device link, I suspect
more complex sequence is needed to establish the links.


(2) Is there a PC-based controller with a GUI interface that would display
all devices/controllers and the links, and allows simple click/drag to
create new links?
