Local Control

Follow these instructions to control the connected light/load (as well as any responders) from the
SwitchLinc paddle.

Setup

SwitchLinc is fully configurable using home automation software (such as HouseLinc). Software will make
it easy to set up controller-responder links, synchronize groups, arrange multi-device scenes and adjust
device properties.

INSTEON Controllers, Responders and Links

Let’s define a few terms:

• The device initiating an INSTEON message is called a controller.
• The device receiving the INSTEON message is called a responder.
• The association between the controller and responder is called a link.

Please note that a link is one way. If you wish to have two-way control, simply repeat the link setup
process from the responder to the controller. Most INSTEON devices can store hundreds of links, and
each individual link can have its own properties (e.g., 50% brightness at a 4-second ramp rate).
Furthermore, a controller can simultaneously control from one to hundreds of responders using groups
and scenes.
