INSTEON devices can stand alone and function as a local switch or
dimmer, but their real power comes when they are connected together to
form a control system. Most INSTEON devices can control one another
and be the recipient of control. The process of associating multiple
INSTEON devices to one another is called Linking.
INSTEON Links

When linking INSTEON devices, the links that
are created are one-way.
The current state of the controlled device is
stored in the link: on, o or dimmed.
Switch A will turn Switch B on and o but
Switch B cannot turn Switch A on or o.
The switch will turn on the Dimmer Module
to 75% brightness.

INSTEON devices that can turn other devices
on or o are called controllers.
Sensors, Switches, Keypads and the
Hub are common controllers.

INSTEON devices that receive the command of a

Understanding Linking
Grouping Devices Use Cross Linking
You may want to group together two
devices, for example, in a virtual-three way
conguration. For INSTEON, this is called
Cross Linking.
To Cross Link, simply turn on the devices and
perform the linking process twice, once in
each direction.
To group Switch A and B so that they each
control one another and the connected
load, Cross Linking is necessary.
Link Switch A to Switch B and repeat to link
Switch B to Switch A.

When not using a central controller like the INSTEON Hub, INSTEON
devices can be congured and linked manually on a device-to-device
basis. It is strongly advised that you not perform manual linking when
using a central controller. Instead, let your central controller handle the
linking for you.
