INSTEON Setup

Some products have subtle differences in their setup procedures. Please refer to the other devices’ owner’s manuals
for details.

INSTEON Controllers, Responders and Links

Let’s define a few terms.

• The INSTEON “transmitter” is called a controller
• The INSTEON “receiver” is called a responder
• The association between the controller and responder is called a link

Please note that a link is one way. If you wish to have control “the other way,” simply repeat link setup process “the
other way.” Most INSTEON devices can store hundreds of links. Furthermore, a controller can simultaneously control
from 1 to hundreds of responders using what are called groups and scenes. Each link can have its own properties
(e.g. 50% brightness at a 4-second ramp rate).
