Essential Info

Have you ever wished you could control lighting scenes with a handheld remote from the comfort of your couch? The RemoteLinc sends commands to your INSTEON controlled lighting and appliances to activate them remotely, turning them on and off at the press of a button. You can even create multiple lighting scenes and dim lights to romantic levels with this handy wireless remote that fits in your hand. Use any of the six buttons to control any combination of devices or groups of devices. Also features ALL ON & OFF and DIM/BRIGHT buttons. The RemoteLinc includes a customizable label with a clear mylar protector to keep it clean.

RemoteLinc can directly control the following RF-compatible devices:
SwitchLinc (dual-band)
LampLinc (dual-band)
OutletLinc Dimmer (dual-band)
KeypadLinc (dual-band)
INSTEON-compatible Venstar thermostats
220V / 240V 30 Amp Load Controllers (dual-band)

To control devices that are not RF-compatible, you'll need at least one dual-band device to convert the RF signal from the remote into power line signals.

    Sueded Black Finish
    Black RemoteLinc works just like Silver RemoteLinc, only it features a sueded finish that's soft to the touch. This polymer coating makes it easier to grip and much more comfortable than plastic. RemoteLinc's black color helps it fit in amongst any home's decor, while it's sueded finish gives it that nice feel you'd expect from any high-end remote control.

    What It Does
    RemoteLinc allows you to control whole-room or whole-house scenes with the touch of a button from the comfort of your couch. What does that mean? You can dim the lights in your home theater, turn on your fireplace, and turn off the lights in surrounding rooms without getting up!

    When entertaining, keep your attention on your guests! With one button press, you can easily brighten your chandelier, painting spotlights, and sconces to that perfect brightness every time, allowing you turn on your lights without diverting your attention from your guests.

    The possibilities are endless: With minimal funds and a little bit of imagination, you can begin turning your home into the home of the future today.

    How it Works
    Tapping the ON/OFF buttons on the RemoteLinc turns your lights (or scenes) ON and OFF; press and hold the ON button to brighten every light in the scene or press and hold the OFF button to dim every light in the scene. The ALL ON/ALL OFF buttons control all devices linked to any of the six ON/OFF buttons plus any additional devices you link to them. The BRIGHT/DIM buttons brighten and dim the last INSTEON devices you controlled from your RemoteLinc. The white LED indicator blinks when messages are being sent and during set up. The RemoteLinc is powered by four AAA alkaline batteries (included); it will also function with rechargeable batteries (sold separately).

    What Else You Need
    While at least 1 Access Point or other dual-band product is required when using an RF transmitter, at least 2 are recommended to ensure a reliable INSTEON network. Although RemoteLinc boasts an impressive 150+ foot range, the more dual-band products you have, the better the range for your RemoteLinc.

    LARRY -- brandon, FL   9/20/2011
    I'm a newbie INSTEON user. The reason I'm giving it three stars is the programming learning curve. I'm used to X10 where any X10 controller can control any X10 device. With INSTEON, you have to link a specific controller with a specific module. If you make a mistake, you have to UNlink and then reprogram. If you really mess up, you have to do a factory reset and start all over. Also, the manuals assume a greater knowledge of INSTEON than a newbie would have. Again, it's the learning curve problem. Having said all that, INSTEON's dual band reliability is much better than X10. I can now control lights I could never reliably control with X10.
    MIKE -- old hickory, TN   9/8/2011
    Worked perfect out of the box.
    ROBERT -- san francisco, CA   8/11/2011
    Insteon is BY FAR the best product of it's type I've ever used. It just works!
    JEFF -- agoura hills, CA   7/14/2011
    The product is excellent at what it is designed and advertised to do, however I own two of them and both have failed and had to be replaced; one under warranty and one just out of warranty. As a habit I don't take extended warranties but my experience with this product has proven to me that I should make an exception, which I did with the last replacement.
    JIM -- houston, TX   6/7/2011
    Easy to set up - works great. Wish it was smaller
    JEFFREY -- potomac, MD   6/2/2011
    This was actually a replacement for the same device that stopped working. Note that this is the third or fourth remote I have had go bad, Not as reliable as the wall switches.
    GARY -- chandler, AZ   4/10/2011
    Love the Black color, works great.
    JEFFREY -- bixby, OK   3/31/2011
    Have two of them now. Wish instructions addressed installation of templates for button identification.
    CHARLES -- sun city, CA   3/19/2011
    Have several of these devices. They seem quite good, but occasionally seem to lose their programing, possibly with dead battery, and have to be set up again. Don't really understand why.
    JOHN -- elk river, MN   3/18/2011
    My older RemoteLinc's starting chewing up batteries really fast (< week). I contacted Smarthome and they replaced all of them (3) without question even though I was past the warranty period. You can't find better customer serivce.
    RICHARD -- mesa, AZ   1/9/2011
    I have three Insteon Wireless Remote controls throughout my house and am very happy with the convenience they provide. When they are on sale, I will get some for my son also.
    JACOB -- puyallup, WA   12/10/2010
    Overly bulky, but works like it says.
    CYNTHIA -- richardson, TX   12/3/2010
    Item works well, although I found it difficult to remove a device from a scene. Had to replace one unit when one button stopped working just before warranty expiration. Replacement arrived quickly and works fine.
    EDWARD -- los altos hills, CA   10/14/2010
    The LED indicator flashes various patterns at various times; the documentation is incomplete about what those indications mean.
    LON -- tucson, AZ   10/10/2010
    works great so far. range and battery use are acceptable. However this cannot be used standalone with a in wall switch or outlet. You need to have a receiver as well so I would recommend selling as a set.
    PETER -- santa paula, CA   10/4/2010
    Works great just kind of ugly
    DAVID -- syracuse, NY   6/20/2010
    It's a Very nice remote with excellent feel on all the controls and the operational range was very good.
    DAVID -- wheaton, IL   6/12/2010
    Great, just make sure you have an access point in range.
    JEFFREY -- potomac, MD   6/7/2010
    I own nine of these devices. three have had to be replaced for the same reason (draining the batteries and causing them to leak. Thease were all new Duracell batteries. When working normally they are great devices.
    MARLON -- pleasant grove, UT   5/10/2010
    Works just like they say!
