Looks like I found my answer:
Questions: Does this mean that I need to wake up all my motion sensors by removing them and having them close at hand so I can press the set button on the inside with the batteries?
Replacing Your PowerLinc
If your PowerLinc is ever replaced, then you must re-sync all of your devices. This will ensure that all devices have their internal links updated to reflect the new PowerLinc's INSTEON address. If you are replacing a 2414U with a newer PowerLinc, you may also need to install the drivers for your new PowerLinc.
Once you have the driver installed, just connect the PowerLinc to your Mac. If you're switching from a 2414 to one of the current ones, you'll need to select it in the config dialog for INSTEON. Otherwise you'll need to select the new Serial Port in that same dialog. Once you click “Save” on that dialog, Indigo will prompt you to resync all links - do that. Once it's done, all links in all devices should be correct. Be sure to have any battery-powered devices close at hand - you'll need to press and hold the set button to wake them up.
Note: that any links that you create, either using the UIs described above, or by manual linking must be marked as Persistent in the link dialogs in order for them to be recreated correctly. For links that you create manually between devices, when you have the manual links created successfully, you must come back to Indigo and sync the device(s) links. The manual links will show up in the dialogs - you must then mark them as Persistent in order for them to be retained when doing a resync/replacement.
