Linking in Multi-Scene Mode
1) Open Open/Close Sensor cover and ensure jumper is uninstalled (or removed). When uninstalling jumper,
battery needs to be removed and then reinstalled for new jumper setting to take effect
2) Move Open/Close Sensor magnet away from main case, putting it in open state
If Open/Close Sensor was closed, LED will blink once
3) Link desired responders for when Open/Close Sensor opens (scene 1). See Make Open/Close Sensor a
Controller.
Scene 1 will activate whenever Open/Close Sensor is opened. The Set button toggle sending ON between
Scene 1 and Scene 2 when tapped (while Open/Close Sensor is opened).
4) Move Open/Close Sensor magnet close to main case, putting it in closed state
Open/Close Sensor status LED will blink once
5) Link desired responders for when Open/Close Sensor opens (scene 2)
Scene 2 will activate whenever Open/Close Sensor is closed. The Set button toggle sending ON between
Scene 1 and Scene 2 when tapped (while Open/Close Sensor is opened).
6) Test that responders are working as expected by opening and closing your door or window
Scene 1 will activate when door or window is opened and scene 2 will activate when closed
Unlinking in Multi-Scene Mode
1) Open Open/Close Sensor cover and ensure jumper is uninstalled (or removed)
2) Move Open/Close Sensor magnet away from main case, putting it in open state
If Open/Close Sensor was closed, LED will blink once
3) Unlink desired responders from scene 1. See Unlinking an INSTEON Responder from Open/Close Sensor.
Responders will no longer respond when Open/Close Sensor is opened or set button is tapped
4) Move Open/Close Sensor magnet close to main case, putting it in closed state
Open/Close Sensor status LED will blink once
5) Unlink desired responders from scene 2
Responders will no longer respond when Open/Close Sensor is closed or set button is tapped
6) Test by opening and closing your door or window
Responders will no longer respond when Open/Close Sensor is opened or closed
Scenes
Devices in a scene can each have different settings. This provides for advanced lighting, audio, etc scene creation.
Software is recommended for scene management.
INSTEON scenes are very easy to set up – just link more than one responder to the same controller. Then, all
INSTEON devices linked in the scene will respond as a group.
Advanced Features
Advanced External Sensor Use
For advanced users, a single Open/Close Sensor can be used to:
• Monitor several doors/windows
• Monitor several different types of sensors
• Monitor external sensors in addition to its internal reed switch
Using Several Sensors
When several sensors (even of different types) are connected to Open/Close Sensor external sensor terminals, keep
in mind that Open/Close Sensor only has two states: opened and closed. So if you have several sensors connected
in the following configurations, note Open/Close Sensor behavior (it is assumed in this example Open/Close Sensor
internal reed switch is not being used).
• Several sensors connected in series – Open/Close Sensor will show open if any sensors are open and
closed when all sensors are closed
• Several sensors connected in parallel – Open/Close Sensor will show open when all sensors are open and
closed if any sensors are closed
NOTE: If magnetic door/window contacts are used, there are two types:
