USING MORNINGLINC

Tap MorningLinc’s Set button to toggle the door lock fixture locked and unlocked.

The MorningLinc Status LED will turn on solid if the door is locked or turn off if the door is
unlocked.

NOTE: The MorningLinc Status LED will follow the last INSTEON command it received. When the door is
manually locked/unlocked from the keypad or lock itself, the Status LED will not change until it receives
an INSTEON command (either from a linked controller or MorningLinc’s Set button). It may take 3-5
seconds for the door lock fixture to respond to INSTEON commands.

CONTROLLING MORNINGLINC FROM AN INSTEON CONTROLLER

Linking an INSTEON Controller to MorningLinc

MorningLinc includes a special feature that allows you to link individual commands to the On and Off
buttons on your controller. For example, you can link the door to lock when you press the On button and
unlock when you press the Off button on your controller, or vice versa. Refer to your controller’s Owner’s
Manual for more detailed instructions on how to properly install and link it to MorningLinc.

NOTE: LOCK and UNLOCK commands must each be linked to separate buttons. Commands cannot be
toggled unless you are using a controller that allows toggle mode (e.g., KeypadLinc).

The following will work for the most common INSTEON devices:

To Link to an On button:

1) Tap MorningLinc’s Set button to put your lock into the desired state (the action you would like the lock

to perform when you tap the On button).

2) Set the controller to linking mode. (For most controllers, press and hold the Set button for 3 seconds

an On/scene button for 10 seconds.)

You will have 4 minutes to complete the next step before linking mode automatically times out.

3) Press and hold MorningLinc’s Set button for 3 seconds.

The MorningLinc Status LED will flash once and then turn on solid if the door is locked or turn off
if the door is unlocked.

4) Confirm that linking was successful by locking/unlocking the door and tapping the On button you just

linked to on the controller.

MorningLinc will respond appropriately.

To Link to an Off button:

NOTE: Not all INSTEON devices have the ability to link to an Off button (see the device’s Owner’s
Manual).

1) Tap MorningLinc’s Set button to put your lock into the desired state (the action you would like the lock

to perform when you tap the Off button).

2) Set the controller to linking mode. (For most controllers, press and hold the Set button for 3 seconds

an On/scene button for 10 seconds.)

You will have 4 minutes to complete steps 3 and 4 before linking mode automatically times out.

3) Double-tap MorningLinc’s Set button and wait for 3 seconds before next step.

4) Press and hold MorningLinc’s Set button for 3 seconds.
