Grouping Buttons
Buttons can be grouped in an interdependent, exclusive-OR fashion, where pressing one button in a
group triggers an ON command for the devices/scene assigned to that button. Grouping is helpful when
you have multiple devices or scenes, and you’d like to be able to easily cycle through these
devices/scenes with an LED indicator of which device/scene is active. Any two (or more) buttons on a
KeypadLinc can be grouped with the exception of the A button when in KeypadLinc’s 8-button mode.
Programming groups is much more involved than most INSTEON device programming. Following are
steps for creating a two button group. When creating groups with more than two buttons, we
recommended you contact Smarthome Technical Support for assistance if you have any problems.
For clarity’s sake, the following instructions will refer to the two buttons to be added to a group as
button A and button B. The below instructions refer to cross linking buttons A & B twice. First cross
link the buttons you want to group then cross link the buttons again but with their status LED’s in the
off position.
1. You must first cross link button C and Button D.
2. Press and hold Button C for 10 seconds to go into link mode.
3. Press Button D for 10 seconds to link.
4. Next press button D for 10 seconds to go into link mode.
5. Press Button C for 10 seconds to link. These buttons are now cross linked.
6. Next, cross link Button C and Button D but from the OFF position (the status LED should be off
on both C and D).
7. Turn off Button C’s LED then press and hold Button C for 10 seconds to go into link mode.
8. Press Button D for 10 seconds to link.
9. Turn off Button D’s LED then press and hold button D for 10 seconds to go into link mode.
10. Press Button C for 10 seconds to link.
