Chapter explanation
Chapter Title
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.

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 Lamp Dimmer to
75% brightness.

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

INSTEON devices that receive the command of a

other devices.
The Motion Sensor will turn on the Switch
but the switches cannot control the Motion
Sensor.

Responder-Only
Some devices cannot control other devices;
these devices only receive INSTEON commands.
Some devices can only link as

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 mirror 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.
