Scene Device Handler Not Working #3

With the end of the Insteon company I decided to move my devices and scenes to the SmartThings hub. I had added some Insteon switches previously with success and use SmartThings automations to control Insteon lights from an Arlo camera motion trigger. So my dimmer switches, on/off switches and outlets all work fine using the device handlers posted here.
My problem is with triggering scenes. I spun up a Home Assistant VM and it did a nice job of discovering all of my Insteon devices by polling my Insteon Hub 2. Using the All Link Database made it easy to figure out my scene group numbers. So, for example, to trigger "All Kitchen Lights On" I issue the command in a web browser http://192.168.168.40:25105/0?1130=I=0 and it works just fine. So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I added the device handler just like the switches. I filled in the exact information I use to trigger the switches but nothing happens when I trigger the scene from Alexa or the SmartThings app.

This is the data entered into the device:
Name Type Value
group text 40
host text insteon.mydomain.com
password text xxxxxxxxxx
port text 25105
username text myusername

Watching the Live Logging console in the SmartThings IDE shows the scene is triggered successfully. So is it possible, in this example, that the scene reported by the Home Assistant app as 40 is not what I should be inputting as the group number in the device setup in SmartThings? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jerry
