Make Open/Close Sensor a Controller
Use Open/Close Sensor to control other INSTEON devices:
1) If using default mode, ensure Open/Close Sensor jumper is installed. If using multi-scene mode, jumper should
be uninstalled (or removed).
NOTE: When changing jumper setting, battery will need to be removed and then reinstalled for new jumper
setting to take effect.
2) Press and hold Open/Close Sensor set button for 3 seconds
Open/Close Sensor LED will start blinking green
3) Turn responder on (or any other state such as on 50% or even off)
4) Press and hold responder set button for 3 seconds
Open/Close Sensor LED will turn solid green
5) Test by opening and closing magnet/sensor
Responder load will respond appropriately

button is tapped
Using Open/Close Sensor’s Multi-Scene Mode
In multi-scene mode, Open/Close Sensor will:
• Activate scene 1 when it opens
• Activate scene 2 when it closes
This mode is ideal when you need more flexibility:
• For rooms where you want lights left on after door is closed – simply don’t link any responders to scene 2 in
this case
• Turning lights on at full-bright when door is opened and dim when door is closed
• Activating two independent scenes when door/window is opened as opposed to closed
