INSTEON Links

INSTEON devices can stand alone and function as a local switch or

dimmer, but their real power comes when they are connected together to

form a control system. Most INSTEON devices can control one another

and be the recipient of control. The process of associating multiple

INSTEON devices to one another is called Linking.

Understanding Linking

Links Remember a Device’s StateLinks are One-Way

When linking INSTEON devices, the links that are created are one-way.

A SwitchB Dimmer Module

The current state of the controlled device is

stored in the link: on, o or dimmed.

Switch A will turn Switch B on and o but Switch B cannot turn Switch A on or o.

INSTEON devices that can turn other devices

on or o are called controllers.

The switch will turn on the Dimmer Module to 75% brightness.

RespondersControllers

INSTEON devices that receive the command of a controller are called responders.

Sensors, Switches, Keypads and the Hub are common controllers.

The Motion Sensor will turn on the Switch but the switch cannot control the Motion Sensor.

Responder-Only

Some devices cannot control other devices; these devices only receive INSTEON commands.

LED Bulb Dimmer SwitchDimmer Switch

Some devices can only link as responders to devices and scenes.

Grouping Devices Use Cross Linking

You may want to group together two devices, for example, in a virtual-three way

conguration. For INSTEON, this is called

Cross Linking.

A AB BLoad

To group Switch A and B so that they each control one another and the connected load, Cross Linking is necessary.

To Cross Link, simply turn on the devices and perform the linking process twice, once in each direction.

Link Switch A to Switch B and repeat to link Switch B to Switch A.

When not using a central controller like the INSTEON Hub, INSTEON

devices can be congured and linked manually on a device-to-device

basis. It is strongly advised that you not perform manual linking when

using a central controller. Instead, let your central controller handle the

linking for you.

Message propagation is more robust because each node adds its energy to the signal, much like voices in a choir. Simulcasting is much simpler than message routing because there are no routing tables to maintain and nodes can join the network without any installation procedure.

Troubleshooting

Dimmer Module LED does not turn on

It is possible your Dimmer Module is not receiving power. If the attached load can still be controlled, It is possible that the status LED has been disabled.

Try this:

• Test Dimmer Module in a dierent power outlet. If the LED illuminates when using a dierent outlet, check the original outlet for power. Some outlets are controlled by a switch elsewhere in the room. Avoid switched

outlets as they disable your INSTEON device when turned o.

• If the outlet works and the connected lamp can be toggled, use software or the Local Programming Flowchart to change the behavior of the status LED. The status LED brightness can be dimmed to the

point that it appears o. The INSTEON Hub and other central controller software allow setting of this device

property.

Unable to add Dimmer module to a scene as a controller or a responder

If the device has power, something is likely interfering with the INSTEON signal. Large appliances, power strips and some electronic devices may generate powerline noise.

Try this:

• Check to see if you have connected Dimmer Module to a power strip, surge suppressor, backup battery or

AC line lter. These devices often lter out the INSTEON powerline signal. Relocate the Dimmer Module to a

standard AC outlet.

• Large appliances like refrigerators or air conditioners may be generating powerline noise that is disrupting the INSTEON signal. If the issue only appears to happen when one of these large appliances is running,

install a noise lter at that device. If you are uncertain of the device generating the noise, disconnect the potentially oending devices from power and test your Dimmer Module again. If the issue is resolved, install noise lters at each oending appliance.

• Some small electronics devices that include an AC/DC power supply can generate substantial electrical noise, in some cases, enough to disrupt an entire house of INSTEON devices. Search your home for speaker docks, small stereos, etc. and disconnect them from power to perform testing. If removing these

devices from your powerline resolves the INSTEON issue, install a noise lter at each oending small

electronic appliance.

• Your Dimmer Module may be too far from another INSTEON device to receive a signal. Try locating the Dimmer Module closer to another INSTEON device and if the issue is resolved, install a Range Extender or other Dual-Band INSTEON device between the intended location of your Dimmer Module and the next nearest INSTEON device.

The Dimmer Module is slow to respond to commands from a controller

This issue most likely lies with the controller, not the Dimmer Module; the controller is most likely repeating commands not acknowledged by an INSTEON device that has been removed from the network. The repeated commands are slowing down the INSTEON network, resulting in a delayed response from the Dimmer Module.

Try this:

• Consider if you have removed any INSTEON devices from you network that were part of the slow-torespond scene. If so, the links to these devices need to be removed from the controller. Use software to examine the database of the controller or if you know the modules that were removed, manually remove their links using the standard unlinking procedure.

• If you are unable to identify the missing devices, perform a factory reset on the controller. This will remove

all links from the controller’s database but will also require that you recongure the device’s scenes and

properties.

Page 31

Troubleshooting

The connected lamp turned on by itself

There must be a device in your INSTEON network that is unexpectedly linked to the Dimmer Module. If you have given your device an X10 address, powerline noise may be triggering the INSTEON device.

Try this:

• Use software to examine the Dimmer Module’s links. If you can identify the stray controller, remove the link.

• If you are unable to identify the unexpected controller, perform a factory reset on the Dimmer Module.

This will remove all links from the module’s database but will also require that you recongure the device’s

scenes and properties.

• If you have assigned your device an X10 address, try assigning a dierent X10 address or taking steps to identify and isolate electronics that may be generating powerline noise.

Using a controller, Dimmer Module will turn o but not turn on

Most likely, the Dimmer Module was linked to the controller with the load set to O

Try this:

• Make sure the Dimmer Module’s connected load is on and then re-link the device to your INSTEON

controller. This link will overwrite the previous “o” link.

Dimmer Module does not respond to button taps or controller links

A power surge or excessive powerline noise may have caused the module to unexpectedly stop responding.

Try this:

• Unplug Dimmer Module for 10 seconds and then reconnect the device to power. Test the local buttons to

see if the load will turn on or o.

• While unusual, Dimmer Module may require a factory reset to restore normal operation. Follow the procedure outlined in Local Programming to reset the device to factory settings. You will be required to

recongure the device’s scenes and properties after the reset.

When using the connected lamp’s switch, the load does not turn on

Your load may not be receiving power if the Dimmer Module is o.

Try this:

• Use the buttons on the side of the Dimmer Module to turn on the connected device. Remember, if the

connected lamp is turned o using its own switch, Dimmer Module is unable to control the device.

• Check the bulb in your lamp. It is possible that your light bulb needs to be replaced.
