CREATING AN INSTEON SCENE
INSTEON scenes let you activate dramatic lighting moods with the press of just one button. For example,
you can set all the lights in a scene to dim to 50% or turn certain lights on while turning others off, all with
the tap of a button on a Controller.
INSTEON scenes are very easy to set up – just Link more than one Responder to the same On/Off or
Scene button on a Controller. Then, when you press any of the Linked buttons on the Controller, all of the
INSTEON devices Linked in the scene will respond as a group.
To set up an INSTEON scene, you can individually Link each device to a Controller. Or, save time and
create multiple Links. See Multi-Linking and Multi-Unlinking.
ADVANCED FEATURES
Multi-Linking and Multi-Unlinking
Multi-Linking
Multi-Linking Mode allows you to Link multiple Responders to a single Controller and quickly create an
INSTEON scene. Once the Controller is in Multi-Linking Mode, you can Link any number of Responders,
one right after the other.
The following will work for the most common INSTEON devices:
1) Set each of the Responders to the state you wish to activate from the Controller
• Turn the Responder on or off, set the brightness/On-Level and Ramp Rate, etc.
• If the Responder is a multi-scene device (e.g., KeypadLinc), tap the desired Scene button
until its LED is in the desired state (on or off)
2) Set the Controller to Linking Mode. (For most Controllers, press & hold the desired On or Scene
button for 10 seconds or the Set button for 3 seconds.)
3) Tap the Set button on the Controller. If the Controller does not have a Set button, tap the same On or
Scene button you used to put the Controller into Linking Mode.
Multi-Linking Mode will automatically time out after 4 minutes of inactivity.
4) One at a time, press & hold each of the Responder’s Set buttons for 3 seconds
5) After you have Linked all the desired Responders, tap the Controller’s Set button to exit Multi-Linking
Mode. If the Controller does not have a Set button, tap the same On or Scene button you used to put
the Controller into Linking Mode.
6) Test that the INSTEON scene is working properly by tapping the button you just Linked to on the
Controller
