Groups

Devices in a group remain synchronized. Every device in a group is both a controller of and a responder
to all the other devices. The most common example of a group is a circuit with 2 switches (referred to as a
3-way circuit).


Example group for a ‘virtual’ 3-way circuit with SwitchLinc “A” and SwitchLinc “B”:

1) Turn A and B on
2) Press and hold A Set button until it beeps

A LED will start blinking green

3) Press and hold B Set button until it double-beeps

A will double-beep and its LED will stop blinking (A is now a controller of B.

4) Press and hold B Set button until it beeps

B LED will start blinking green

5) Press and hold A Set button until it double-beeps

B will double-beep and its LED will stop blinking (B is now a controller of A)

A and B are now grouped

6) Test by turning load on and off from A and then B

The load(s) and both A and B LEDs will remain in sync

Scenes

Scenes feature multiple responders, each with its own unique individual settings, activated from a single
controller. Responders in a scene can each have different settings. This provides for advanced lighting,
audio, etc. in scene creation. Home management software such as HouseLinc is recommended for scene
management.

Example scene with one controller and SwitchLinc as a responder, plus other responders:

1) Press and hold controller button until it beeps

Controller LED will start blinking

2) Tap controller Set button

Controller LED will start double-blinking

3) Adjust SwitchLinc to desired brightness for scene

4) Press and hold SwitchLinc Set button until it double-beeps
5) For each additional scene member:

a. Adjust member to desired scene brightness (or state if not a lighting device).
b. Press and hold member Set button until it double-beeps.

If the responder is a multi-scene device such as a KeypadLinc, tap the scene button you wish to control until its LED is in the desired scene state (on or off). You can program

any state, not just on, for the responder’s link.
