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 are One-Way When linking Insteon devices, the links that are created are one-way. Links Remember a Device’s State The current state of the controlled device is stored in the link: On, off or dimmed. NEW NEW 75% A B Switch A will turn Switch B on and off but Switch B cannot turn Switch A on or off. X Controllers Insteon devices that can turn other devices on or off are called controllers. NEW Sensors, Switches, Keypads and the Hub are common controllers.
Understanding Linking Controller-Only Some devices, like sensors, can only control other devices. Responder-Only Some devices cannot control other devices; these devices only receive Insteon commands. NEW NEW X X Motion Sensor Dimmer Switch The Motion Sensor will turn on the Switch but the switches cannot control the Motion X Sensor. Grouping Devices You may want to group together two devices, for example, in a virtual-three way configuration. For Insteon, this is called Cross Linking.

Troubleshooting The LED lights on the Wall Switch are not illuminated It is possible that your switch is not getting power or that the status LEDs have been disabled. Try this: • Check to make sure power is flowing to your Insteon Wall Switch. If your switch was just installed, make sure the circuit breaker controlling the switch has been turned on. It is also advisable to verify the wire connections in the junction box are secure and not showing any bare wire.
Troubleshooting The connected light turned on by itself There must be a device in your Insteon network that is unexpectedly linked to the Wall Switch. If you have given your device an X10 address, powerline noise may be triggering the Insteon device. Try this: • Use software to examine the Wall Switch’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 Wall Switch.
