Unlinking One INSTEON Device from RemoteLinc
If you are no longer going to use an INSTEON Device that has previously been linked to RemoteLinc, it is
very important that you unlink it, otherwise the INSTEON network will retry any commands intended for
the unused INSTEON Device, thus slowing down your system.
1. Using the ON/OFF Button that you already linked your INSTEON Device to, set RemoteLinc to
Unlinking Mode by pressing and holding the
ON
side of the button for 10 seconds until the Status
LED begins blinking, then release the button.
2. Immediately press the same
ON
button again for 10 seconds.
3. Follow the same method given above that you used to link your INSTEON Device to unlink it. On
most INSTEON Devices, you just push a
SET Button
for 3 seconds.
4. When your INSTEON device is successfully unlinked, RemoteLinc will beep, and its Status LED will
stop blinking
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 Device to an ON/OFF Button on
RemoteLinc. Then, when you press either the ON or the OFF Button on RemoteLinc, all of the INSTEON
Devices linked in the scene will respond as a group. You can link multiple INSTEON Devices to multiple
of INSTEON Controllers.
To add an additional INSTEON Device to a scene controlled by an ON/OFF Button on RemoteLinc,
simply follow the same procedure as above in
Linking RemoteLinc to an INSTEON Device
. To remove
an INSTEON Device from a scene, see
Unlinking One INSTEON Device from RemoteLinc
.
TIP
You can avoid having to hold RemoteLinc’s ON Button down for 10 seconds for each INSTEON
Device in a scene by placing RemoteLinc in
Scene Setup Mode
, also called
Multilink Mode
.
1. Set the RemoteLinc to Scene Setup Mode for the ON/OFF Button Pair you want to use for
controlling the scene by pressing and holding the desired
ON Button
for 10 seconds,
then tapping
the same
ON Button
again
. RemoteLinc’s Status LED will blink.
2. Follow the linking method given above for the INSTEON Device you want to include in the scene.
On most INSTEON Devices, you just push a SET Button for 3 seconds. RemoteLinc will beep to
confirm linking, and its Status LED will continue to blink slowly.
3. On some INSTEON Devices, you may be able to set up additional features, such as On-Levels or
Fade Rates at this time.
4. Continue Steps 2 and 3 for any additional INSTEON Devices you want to link to the scene.
5. When you are finished linking INSTEON Devices to the desired ON/OFF Button, complete Scene
Setup by pressing the
ON Button
. RemoteLinc’s Status LED will stop blinking and remain
steadily on. You have about 4 minutes of inactivity before RemoteLinc’s Scene Setup Mode times
out automatically.
