Troubleshooting
LED Bulb won’t link to other INSTEON Devices
Your LED Bulb may be out of range of other INSTEON Devices or a large appliance may be generating electrical
noise, disrupting the INSTEON signal.
Try this:
• Check to make sure your LED Bulb is not connected to a dimmer. If so, remove the dimmer or relocate LED
Bulb to a non-dimming xture.
• Try relocating your LED Bulb to see if linking can be accomplished. If linking works normally in another area
of the house, consider adding additional INSTEON devices to extend and strengthen your network.
• Some home appliances like refrigerators, televisions and speaker docks may produce excessive electrical
noise. If you’ve recently added a new electronic device to your home, unplug it and try linking again. If LED
Bulb links normally, add a powerline noise lter to the problematic appliance.
LED Bulb is slow to respond
This issue most likely lies with the controller, not your LED Bulb; the controlling device is probably repeating
commands not being 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 LED
Bulb.
Try this:
• Consider if you have removed any INSTEON devices from your network that were part of the slow-to-
respond 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 recongure the device’s scenes and
properties.
LED Bulb turned on or o by itself
Most likely, a device somewhere in the house has been linked to your LED Bulb.
Try this:
• As LED Bulb automatically enters linking mode every time it is powered on, it is possible to accidentally link
a device to LED Bulb in the brief period of time that the Bulb is in linking mode. You can use software like
HouseLinc to examine LED Bulb’s links to nd the stray connection.
I want to factory reset my LED Bulb
Because LED Bulb lacks a set button, there is no manual way to factory reset LED Bulb.
Try this:
• Using software like HouseLinc, manually remove all of the device links.
