    Ok so I moved the Pl1200 from upstairs to downstairs. Resetted both units and it's working.
    I then re-enabled the security on the pair and it seems to still be working.

    I'll check back when I have time to move the one PL1200 unit back upstairs and see if it's still working.

You don't need to reset the security when you move devices around.

 

Just move the plugs. They will remember their settings and carry on talking to one another.
