5) Test by tapping SwitchLinc paddle on and off
Responder will toggle between the scene on level and off
6) If you wish to add another responder, repeat steps 1-5 or (see Add Multiple Responders)
Notes:
- The link just created is one-way, see “SwitchLinc a Controller” to add another link to keep the two
products in synch.
- If you wish the SwitchLinc load to be off when the link is activated (ie for an “all off” scene), turn the
load off in step #2.
Groups (keeps devices synchronized) formerly “Cross-Linking”
Devices in a group share all the same settings (e.g., on-level, ramp rate). This keeps all group members
synchronized. Every device in a group is both a controller of, and responder to, all the other devices.
The most common example of a group is a 3-way lighting circuit (2 switches). For simplicity, we will
assume that the desired group level is on.
Example: 3 way circuit with switches “A” and “B”
1) Turn A and B on
2) Press & hold A set button until it beeps (or LED blinks)
A status LED will start blinking green
3) Press & hold B set button until it double-beeps (or LED flashes)
B will (Beep)-(Beep)
A will (Beep)-(Beep) and its LED will stop blinking
4) Press & hold B set button until it beeps (or LED blinks)
B LED will start blinking green
5) Press & hold A set button until it double-beeps (or LED flashes)
A will (Beep)-(Beep)
B will (Beep)-(Beep) and its LED will stop blinking
6) Test the group by controlling the Load from A and then B
The load, A LED and B LED will all remain in synch
Scenes
INSTEON Scenes allow a controller to set the mood by setting multiple responders to desired levels
simultaneously. Software is especially helpful in setting up and maintaining scenes, especially larger
scenes.
Example: Create a scene with a single controller and SwitchLinc as a responder / member
1) Press & hold controller set button until it beeps
1
Controller LED will start blinking
2) Tap SwitchLinc on (or off if desired for the link)
Load will be on (or off)
3) Press & hold SwitchLinc set button until it double-beeps
Controller LED will stop blinking and it will (beep)-(beep)
2
4) For each additional scene member
a. Adjust device to desired scene state
b. Press & hold its set button
5) Tap controller set button
Controller LED will stop blinking
6) Test by tapping controller button on and off
SwitchLinc and other scene responders will all respond appropriately
3
If either the SwitchLinc or responders LED continues to blink, the addition failed. Tap the device’s Set button until LED stops blinking and try again.

If the controller does not have a beeper, wait until its LED begins blinking
