Problem Possible Cause Solution
Large appliances, such as refrigerators
or air conditioners, may be producing
electrical noise on the power line
Install a power line noise filter (e.g. #1626-10) to
filter electrical noise and minimize signal attenuation
Other electrical devices, such as
computers, televisions, or power strips,
may be absorbing the INSTEON signal
Mini Remote will not turn a
Responder On (it may turn
it off)
Ramp Rate may be Extremely Slow
Or
Responder may be Linked at OFF
Re-link to responder with fast Ramp Rate
Responder’s Load doesn’t
appear to turn on right
away
The Ramp Rate may be set too slow. Re-link to responder with fast Ramp Rate
Responder(s) is taking a
long time to respond to a
Mini Remote Mini Remote may be sending
commands to a responder(s) that is no
longer in use
Remove all unused Responders from the Mini
Remote. HINT: If you are using home automation
software, you can easily check scene membership
and eliminate unnecessary Links
If the above doesn’t work, try the solutions for “Mini
Remote will not turn a Responder On”
Mini Remote blinks red
after I turn a scene On or
Off
One or more scene members not

Or

a) Remove all scene responders that are no
longer in use, or
