Creating an INSTEON Scene 

INSTEON Scenes let you activate dramatic lighting moods with the press of just one button.  INSTEON 
Scenes are very easy to set up – just link more than one INSTEON module to an ON/OFF Button Pair on 
an INSTEON Controller.  Then, when you press either the ON or the OFF Button on the INSTEON 
Controller, all of the INSTEON modules linked in the scene will respond as a group.  You can link multiple 
ICON Appliance Adapters or other INSTEON modules to multiple INSTEON Controllers. 

To add an additional ICON Appliance Adapter to a scene controlled by an ON/OFF Button Pair on an 
INSTEON Controller, simply follow the same procedure that you used for linking the first ICON Appliance 
Adapter.  See 

Linking ICON Appliance Adapter to an INSTEON Controller

, above.  To remove an ICON 

Appliance Adapter from a scene, see 

Unlinking ICON Appliance Adapter from an INSTEON Controller

TIP 

 
With some INSTEON Controllers, you can avoid having to hold a button down for 10 seconds for each 
setup step by placing the Controller in 

Scene Setup Mode

, also called 

Multilink Mode

.  Refer to your 

INSTEON Controller’s User’s Guide for detailed instructions on how to set it to Scene Setup Mode.  
The following will work for a Icon

 Tabletop Controller. 

1.  Set the Icon Tabletop Controller to Scene Setup Mode for the ON/OFF Button Pair you want to 

use for controlling the scene by pressing and holding the 

ON Button

 of the pair for 10 seconds, 

then tapping the same

 

ON Button

 

again

.  Icon Tabletop Controller’s Status LED will blink slowly. 

2.  Press and hold the black 

SET Button

 on Icon Appliance Adapter for 3 seconds.  The module’s 

Status LED will blink to confirm linking.  Icon Tabletop Controller will beep to confirm linking, and 
its Status LED will continue to blink slowly. 

3.  Continue Steps 2 and 3 for any additional INSTEON modules you want to link to the scene. 

4.  When you are finished linking INSTEON modules to the desired ON/OFF Button, complete Scene 

Setup by pressing the 

ON Button

.  Icon Tabletop Controller’s Status LED will stop blinking and 

remain steadily on.  You have about 4 minutes of inactivity before Scene Setup Mode times out 
automatically.
