CONTROLLING APPLIANCELINC FROM AN INSTEON CONTROLLER

Linking an INSTEON Controller to ApplianceLinc

To use ApplianceLinc as an INSTEON Responder, follow these steps to Link ApplianceLinc and a
Controller together. Refer to the Controller’s Owner’s Manual for detailed instructions on how to properly
install and Link it to ApplianceLinc.
The following will work for the most common INSTEON devices:
1) Use the Set button to set ApplianceLinc to the state you wish to activate from the Controller (on or off)
2) Set the Controller to Linking Mode. (For most Controllers, press & hold an On or Scene button for 10

seconds or the Set button for 3 seconds.)
You will have 4 minutes to complete the next step before Linking Mode automatically times out.

3) Press & hold the Set button on ApplianceLinc for 3 seconds

The ApplianceLinc Status LED will flash twice and then turn on solid

4) Confirm that Linking was successful by tapping the button you just Linked to on the Controller

ApplianceLinc will respond appropriately

Unlinking ApplianceLinc from an INSTEON Controller

If you are going to discontinue using ApplianceLinc, it is very important that you Unlink it from any Linked
Controllers. Otherwise, the Controllers will retry any commands repetitively, thus slowing down the
system.

The following will work for the most common INSTEON devices:

1) Set the Controller to Unlinking Mode. (For most Controllers, press & hold an On or Scene button for

10 seconds twice or the Set button for 3 seconds twice.)
You will have 4 minutes to complete the next step before Unlinking Mode automatically times out.

2) Press & hold the Set button on ApplianceLinc for 3 seconds

The ApplianceLinc Status LED will flash twice and then turn on solid

3) Confirm that Unlinking was successful by tapping the button you just Unlinked from on the Controller

ApplianceLinc will no longer respond

CREATING INSTEON SCENES

INSTEON scenes let you activate dramatic lighting moods with the tap of just one button. For example,
you can set all the lights in a scene to dim to 50% or turn certain lights on while turning others off, all with
the tap of a button on a Controller.

INSTEON scenes are very easy to set up – just Link more than one Responder to the same On/Off or
Scene button on a Controller. Then, when you tap any of the Linked buttons on the Controller, all of the
INSTEON devices Linked in the scene will respond as a group.
