3.2.3 Creating INSTEON Scenes
Scenes are collections of INSTEON devices that react to and with one another in
various ways. Scenes are comprised of both Responders and Controllers.
 Responders are devices contained within scenes that only respond to
commands issued to the scene. For example, a lamp module with a table lamp
attached would be a likely be a Responder to the scene. When the scene is
turned on, the lamp module might turn on. When the scene is turned off, the
map module might turn off. Responders are colored blue within a scene.
 Controllers not only respond to commands issued to the scene, the also control
the scene. An example of a Controller might be a button located on a Keypad –
when that Keypad button is pressed, all members of the scene will respond as
programmed. Controllers are colored red within a scene.
To create a Scene, simply click the New Scene option under the Link Management pull-
down menu, or click the New Scene button on the ISY’s toolbar.
Name the Scene accordingly, click OK, and your scene will appear in the left-hand
pane.
