TROUBLESHOOTING 

Problem 

Possible Cause 

Solution 

The Status LED on 
Smoke Bridge is not 
turning on.  

Smoke Bridge may not be 
getting power.  

Make sure Smoke Bridge is not plugged into a 
switched outlet that is turned off.  

Smoke Bridge won’t 
Link or work with a 
responder.  

The Responder might 
have been reset without 
Unlinking Smoke Bridge 
from it.  

Re-Link Smoke Bridge to the Responder. 

The responder and Smoke 
Bridge may be on 
opposite power line 
phases. 

Make sure two dual-band INSTEON devices are 
properly installed to bridge the two power line 
phases. 

The INSTEON signal may 
be too weak. 

Add additional INSTEON devices or move around 
existing INSTEON devices. All INSTEON devices 
act as INSTEON network repeaters.  

Large appliances, such as 
refrigerators or air 
conditioners, may be 
producing electrical noise 
on the power line.  

Install a power line noise filter (#1626-10) to filter 
electrical noise and minimize signal attenuation.  

Other electrical devices, 
such as computers, 
televisions, or power 
strips, may be absorbing 
the INSTEON signal.  

Responders are taking 
a long time to respond 
to Smoke Bridge.  

Smoke Bridge may be 
sending commands to a 
responder that is no 
longer in use. Commands 
for the unused responder 
are being resent and 
loading down the signal. 

Unlink any unused responders from Smoke Bridge.  

HINT: If you are using home automation software, 
you can easily check scene membership and 
eliminate unnecessary Links.  

If the above doesn’t work, perform a factory reset 
on Smoke Bridge. See 

Resetting Smoke Bridge to 

its Factory Default Settings
