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
LampLinc Dimmers or other INSTEON modules to multiple INSTEON Controllers.
To add an additional LampLinc Dimmer 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 LampLinc Dimmer. See
Linking LampLinc Dimmer to an INSTEON Controller
, above. To adjust the On-Level by itself, see
Setting the On-Level (Optional)
, or to adjust both the Ramp Rate and the On-Level, see
Setting the Ramp
Rate and the On-Level (Optional)
. To remove a LampLinc dimmer from a scene, see
Unlinking LampLinc
Dimmer 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 Smarthome ControLinc
™
Tabletop Controller.
1. Set the ControLinc 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
. ControLinc’s Status LED will blink slowly.
2. Press and hold the black
SET Button
on LampLinc Dimmer for 3 seconds. The lamp you are
controlling will blink to confirm linking. ControLinc will beep to confirm linking, and its Status LED
will continue to blink slowly.
3. If you want to adjust the
Ramp Rate
or the
On-Level
, you can do so by following the steps above
in the sections
Setting the On-Level (Optional)
, or
Setting the Ramp Rate and the On-Level
(Optional)
, but without pressing ControLinc’s ON Button for 10 seconds.
4. Continue Steps 2 and 3 for any additional INSTEON modules you want to link to the scene.
5. When you are finished linking INSTEON modules to the desired ON/OFF Button, complete Scene
Setup by pressing the
ON Button
. ControLinc’s Status LED will stop blinking and remain steadily
on. You have about 4 minutes of inactivity before Scene Setup Mode times out automatically.
