Well I figured out the security announcement last night, but thanks. 
I'll send my config and the prtext along.  I also have a stripped version of the config
just showing the icon clicks and the PLC button commands for one light.

in groups, everything seems to work fine, but using a PLC remote it has a definite lag,
sometimes up to 5-10 seconds.  I haven't changed anything in the config, just upgraded
ECS.

lights are set to go to either 96% or 0%.  Sometimes a click will stop somewhere in

stops on.

 After the upgrade, the announcement comes AFTER the pause.  Odd.
