Device BB.BB.BB (switchlinc)
Controller links table (what I control)
Link#.... My grp #......... Resp address......... Resp button #
1............1....................AA.AA.AA...............3
Responder links table (what controls me)
Link#.... My btn #....... Ctrlr address....... Ctrlr Grp#.......Ramp Lvl.... Dim Lvl
1............1...................AA.AA.AA...........3...................31...............255
In KPL's there is an additional kind of link many of us use - the link WITHIN the KPL - for
example using button H as an 'all off' turning off everything on the same KPL. This
functionality DOES NOT look the same and DOES NOT use the controller/responder link
tables. A moment thought will understand why not as NO powerline communication is
necessary in this case - the device is simply talking to itself.
OK... so now we have the tables - what about the command? In the above KPL example you
would see a command issued when button C was pressed that contained
Cntrlr Address...............Cntrlr Group #.........Destination Address......... Destination Button #
AA.AA.AA........................3........................BB.BB.BB........................1
The command would get relayed through the network until a responder with a matching
destination address received it. When the responder with the matching address sees the
command, it refers to its responder table and if it finds a match for the controller address
and group # it processes the command according to the dim level and ramp rate in the
matching record.
Simple, right?
OK - so we have the basics of Insteon communication and link tables. So, what, then, is a
scene?
