Links Remember a Device’s StateLinks are One-Way
When linking INSTEON devices, the links that
are created are one-way.

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

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
conguration. 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.
