Unlinking in Multi-Scene Mode
1) Move Open/Close Sensor magnet away from main case, putting it in open state
If Open/Close Sensor was closed, LED will blink once
2) Unlink desired responders from scene 1. See Unlinking an Insteon Responder from Open/Close Sensor.
Responders will no longer respond when Open/Close Sensor is opened or set button is tapped
3) Move Open/Close Sensor magnet close to main case, putting it in closed state
Open/Close Sensor status LED will blink once
4) Unlink desired responders from scene 2
Responders will no longer respond when Open/Close Sensor is closed or set button is tapped
5) Test by opening and closing your door or window
Responders will no longer respond when Open/Close Sensor is opened or closed
Scenes
Devices in a scene can each have different settings. This provides for advanced lighting, audio, etc scene creation.
Software is recommended for scene management.
Insteon scenes are very easy to set up – just link more than one responder to the same controller. Then, all Insteon
devices linked in the scene will respond as a group.
Advanced Features
Advanced External Sensor Use
For advanced users, a single Open/Close Sensor can be used to:
• Monitor several doors/windows
• Monitor several different types of sensors
• Monitor external sensors in addition to its internal reed switch
Using Several Sensors
When several sensors (even of different types) are connected to Open/Close Sensor external sensor terminals, keep
in mind that Open/Close Sensor only has two states: opened and closed. So if you have several sensors connected
in the following configurations, note Open/Close Sensor behavior (it is assumed in this example Open/Close Sensor
internal reed switch is not being used).
• Several sensors connected in series – Open/Close Sensor will show open if any sensors are open and
closed when all sensors are closed
• Several sensors connected in parallel – Open/Close Sensor will show open when all sensors are open and
closed if any sensors are closed
NOTE: If magnetic door/window contacts are used, there are two types:
• Normally open – when door/window is closed, sensor will show open. When door/window is open, sensor will
show closed
• Normally closed – when door/window is closed, sensor will show closed. When door/window is open, sensor
will show open
Using Internal Reed Switch and External Sensors
When Open/Close Sensor external sensors input is used in conjunction with its internal reed switch, Open/Close
Sensor behaves much like several sensors connected in parallel (above), meaning:
• Open/Close Sensor will be open when both internal reed switch and external reed switch sensor terminals
show open
• Open/Close Sensor will be closed when either internal reed switch or external sensor terminals show closed
Power Restore
Open/Close Sensor stores all of its settings, such as links to other Insteon devices, with non-volatile memory.
Because settings are saved in non-volatile memory, they will not be lost when the battery is removed.
Factory Reset
All settings and scenes will be erased and return to factory default settings.
