WHAT IS INSTEON?

Since its inception in 2005, INSTEON has become a best-selling home-control networking technology,

offering more reliability and flexibility than any other home management system on the market. INSTEON

systems are simple, reliable, and affordable. Simple, because each device takes mere minutes to install.

Reliable, because every INSTEON device works as a network repeater, ensuring your commands will not

be lost. Affordable, because INSTEON can be integrated into any number of devices easily and at a very

low cost. An INSTEON home grows in value with each added INSTEON device, making life more

convenient, safe, and fun.

How Does INSTEON Work?

What makes INSTEON the most reliable home automation network is its dual-mesh network. INSTEON

devices use both radio frequency (RF) signals and the home’s existing wiring to talk to each other. In an

INSTEON network, every INSTEON device also acts as a repeater, receiving and sending every

message to all other devices in the network. So by integrating more INSTEON devices you will strengthen

the network and ensure no commands will be lost.

No central controller or networking setup is required with an INSTEON network. Simply install your

devices and then use a series of button presses or taps to Link your devices together. Throughout this

Owner’s Manual, you may see the terms “Controller” or “Responder”. These generic INSTEON terms

refer to the components of an INSTEON scene, and are used on a scene-by-scene basis.

• Controller – sends INSTEON commands to other devices

• Responder – reacts to commands sent out by another INSTEON device

An INSTEON device may act as a Controller, Responder, or sometimes both.

INSTEON networks are also extremely secure. Each INSTEON device is assigned a unique INSTEON

ID, so unless neighbors or would-be hackers have access to your particular device’s INSTEON ID, they

won’t be able to control your home, even if they are using similar products.
