CONTROLLING INSTEON RESPONDERS FROM TIMERLINC
Linking TimerLinc to an INSTEON Responder
To use TimerLinc as an INSTEON Controller, follow these steps to Link TimerLinc and an INSTEON
Responder (the device you wish to control with TimerLinc) together. Refer to the Responder’s Owner’s
Manual for detailed instructions on how to properly install and Link it to TimerLinc.
NOTE: Responders can be controlled via the On/Off button or with timers.
The following will work for the most common INSTEON devices:
1) At the Responder, set it to the state you wish to be activated from TimerLinc (turn it on if you wish it to
be on or off if you wish it to be off when TimerLinc activates the scene, set On-Levels, etc.)
•
If the Responder is a multi-scene device, tap the Scene button you wish to control until its
LED is in the desired state (on or off)
2) Set TimerLinc to Linking Mode by pressing & holding the Set button for 3 seconds
The TimerLinc Status LED will begin blinking
You will have 4 minutes to complete the next step before Linking Mode automatically times out.
3) Press & hold the Responder's Set button for 3 seconds
The TimerLinc Status LED will stop blinking and turn on solid
4) Confirm that Linking was successful by tapping the On/Off button on TimerLinc
The Responder will respond appropriately
5) If you wish to Link multiple Responders to the same TimerLinc, either repeat steps 1-4 with each
Responder
Unlinking an INSTEON Responder from TimerLinc
If you are no longer going to use an INSTEON Responder that has been Linked to TimerLinc, it is very
important that you Unlink it. Otherwise, TimerLinc will retry any commands repetitively, thus slowing down
the system.
The following will work for the most common INSTEON devices:
1) If the Responder is a multi-scene device, tap the Scene button you wish to remove control from until
its LED illuminates
2) Set TimerLinc to Linking Mode by pressing & holding the Set button on TimerLinc for 3 seconds
The TimerLinc Status LED will begin blinking
3) Set TimerLinc to Unlinking Mode by pressing & holding the Set button on TimerLinc for 3 seconds
again
The TimerLinc Status LED will continue blinking
You will have 4 minutes to complete the next step before Unlinking Mode automatically times out.
4) Press & hold the Responder’s Set button for 3 seconds
The TimerLinc Status LED will stop blinking and turn on solid
5) Confirm that Unlinking was successful by tapping the On/Off button on TimerLinc
The Responder will no longer respond
