WHAT IS INSTEON?
Since its inception in 2005, INSTEON has become a best-selling home-control networking technology, offering more
reliability and flexibility than any other home management system on the market. INSTEON systems are simple,
reliable, and affordable. Simple, because each device takes mere minutes to install. Reliable, because every
INSTEON device works as a network repeater, ensuring your commands will not be lost. Affordable, because
INSTEON can be integrated into any number of devices easily and at a very low cost. An INSTEON home grows in
value with each added INSTEON device, making life more convenient, safe, and fun.
How Does INSTEON Work?
What makes INSTEON the most reliable home automation network is its dual-mesh network. INSTEON devices use
both radio frequency (RF) signals and the home’s existing wiring to talk to each other. In an INSTEON network, every
INSTEON device also acts as a repeater, receiving and sending every message to all other devices in the network.
So by integrating more INSTEON devices you will strengthen the network and ensure no commands will be lost.
No central controller or networking setup is required with an INSTEON network. Simply install your devices and then
use a series of button presses or taps to Link your devices together. Throughout this Owner’s Manual, you may see
the terms “Controller” or “Responder”. These generic INSTEON terms refer to the components of an INSTEON
scene, and are used on a scene-by-scene basis.
• Controller – sends INSTEON commands to other devices
• Responder – reacts to commands sent out by another INSTEON device
An INSTEON device may act as a Controller, Responder, or sometimes both.
INSTEON networks are also extremely secure. Each INSTEON device is assigned a unique INSTEON ID, so unless
neighbors or would-be hackers have access to your particular device’s INSTEON ID, they won’t be able to control
your home, even if they are using similar products.
