Scenes

INSTEON scenes let you activate dramatic room ambiences with multiple lights and appliances. 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 press any of the linked buttons on the controller, all of the
INSTEON devices linked in the scene will respond as a group.

To set up an INSTEON scene, you can individually link each device to a controller. Or save time and
create multiple links at once.

Power Restore

SwitchLinc stores all of its scenes, properties, etc. in its internal non-volatile memory so all settings are
retained after a power outage. Upon power being restored, SwitchLinc will return its connected load(s)
and all LEDs to their states prior to power outage.

Using SwitchLinc in an X10 Network

Like most INSTEON devices, SwitchLinc X10-ready, meaning it can both send and respond to X10
commands. However, SwitchLinc does not ship with an X10 address, so you must set one up when first
installing SwitchLinc or after performing a factory reset.

Add an X10 Address

1) Press and hold SwitchLinc Set button until it beeps (about 3 seconds)

SwitchLinc status LED will blink
You will have 4 minutes to complete the next step before linking mode times out

2) Using an X10 controller, send the X10 address you want to assign to SwitchLinc followed by the ON

command three times

For example, to assign the address A1, you would send A1-ON-A1-ON-A1-ON

3) Once SwitchLinc Dimmer has received the sequence, it will exit linking mode

SwitchLinc will double-beep

Remove an X10 Address

If you are no longer going to utilize an X10 address associated with SwitchLinc, it is very important that
you remove its X10 address. Otherwise, SwitchLinc will still listen for X10 commands (somewhat
hindering INSTEON reception) and may respond to spurious X10 “noise.” Furthermore, SwitchLinc will
transmit an X10 address and command every time the button is tapped.

1) Press and hold SwitchLinc Set button until it beeps (about 3 seconds)
