Understanding INSTEON Reliability
INSTEON messages travel throughout the home via powerline (the existing house wiring) or wirelessly
via RF using Access Points or other
dual-band INSTEON products . As the messages make their way to
the INSTEON responders, they are picked up and retransmitted by all other INSTEON devices along the
way. This method of communicating is called a mesh network because every device becomes a signal
repeater. Plus, every INSTEON device confirms that it has received a command. If an INSTEON
controller does not receive this confirmation, it will automatically retransmit the command up to five times.
