Essential Info

INSTEON ApplianceLinc (3-Pin) — Our Most Advanced Remote-Controllable Plug-In On/Off Switch
The INSTEON ApplianceLinc is a full-featured plug-in on/off switch that can be remotely controlled from a handheld remote, wall keypad, computer or smartphone or tablet (controllers are sold separately).

This simple-to-use plug-in on/off switch has advanced features like local control, so you can still use the appliance's built-in switch to turn device on and off. The ApplianceLinc is made to plug into a 3-pin outlet. This on/off module controls all standard appliances like fans, fluorescent lights, and many other non-dimmable devices up to 15 amps and incandescent lights up to 480 watts. If you need to control a dimmable lamp, consider using the LampLinc - INSTEON Plug-In Lamp Dimmer Module (Dual-Band); this allows on/off and brightness control.

If you need INSTEON control for outdoor plug-in appliances such as fountain pumps and landscape or holiday lighting, consider using an INSTEON On/Off Outdoor Module.

Never come home to a dark house again: Install INSTEON Hub and schedule an ApplianceLinc or any other INSTEON-compatible device to turn on or off at any specific time or even at sunrise and sunset.

Note: If you are using LED lights that are very low wattage, you may notice that the LED's do not turn out completely when plugged into an ApplianceLinc. In this case, you’ll need to add to the load with more LED's or higher wattage bulbs - generally higher than a 5 watt load.

    Pass-Through Outlet
    In addition to the INSTEON-controlled outlet, the ApplianceLinc offers a non-controlled outlet on the front face, so you won't have to unplug your appliance module just to find a place to plug in the vacuum cleaner.

    Create Multi-Way Circuits
    The INSTEON ApplianceLinc (3-Pin) allows you to customize your lighting setup no matter how your house is wired. It's simple to create a 3-, 4-, or 5-way controlled appliances. Plug the device you want to include in the circuit into the module, then plug the ApplianceLinc into an open outlet. Link the ApplianceLinc to all the INSTEON-compatible wall switches that you want to control the ApplianceLinc for a flexible, fully functional multi-way controlled appliance.

    Scene Lighting
    Scenes allow you to control multiple lights, rooms or even the whole home with a single command. Because the ApplianceLinc can be a member of more than 400 scenes (i.e. "Movie Time," "Party," "Romance," etc.), you'll be able to launch various lighting scenarios with a single button press on an INSTEON controller. These are elegant features usually found only in systems costing tens of thousands of dollars and requiring extensive rewiring of your home. All member lights and appliances can turn on or off instantly, all controlled with one command from one button. If you want to control multiple scenes from one controller, try the INSTEON KeypadLinc Dimmer.

    Status LED
    Get a visual indication when ApplianceLinc is sending or receiving INSTEON or X10 signals. The Status LED is also used for setup programming.

    Compatibility
    The INSTEON ApplianceLinc (3-Pin) is fully INSTEON compatible and X10 ready. Homeowners with existing X10 networks can easily migrate to an INSTEON network without having to discard all their existing X10 devices. X10 ready means that the module can respond to X10 commands from an X10 controller. Please note that INSTEON devices repeat INSTEON signals but not X10.

    Non-Volatile Memory
    All ApplianceLinc settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are not lost during power failures. Additionally, in the event of a power loss, the ApplianceLinc will return the appliance to its off state when power is restored.

    PHILIPPE -- st-nicolas, QC   6/14/2013
    I think It have a very low sensitivity (not very reliable). It is not dual band.
    BILL -- carmichael, CA   6/6/2013
    Used this to replace an old X10 appliance module. This appliance module makes a small click when switching rather than the CLUNK of the old X10. Also, the modules respond to the INSTEON protocol in half the time of the X10 protocol. I used this with a contact closure sensor module, a reed relay, and an old 5 Volt power module to cause an existing wall switch that controlled a wall outlet, to also control lamps at two other locations. People do not notice the slight delay or the quiet click.
    Jeff -- Maryland   5/30/2013
    Works as expected, but have had issues with the longevity of the units. Just had another one die. First one lasted about a week. This one about a year. Three total, none over a year. I would hope for more, none of them have been heavily used.
    MICHAEL -- fort lauderdale, FL   5/23/2013
    Functions nicely. I did have one of these devices fail within a day of installation and had to have it replaced. It took more than 2 weeks before I had another as they don't believe you and you have to mail it back first, then they issue new device. All the way to California! I live in Florida! Seems to function good when it works.
    ISAAC -- seattle, WA   5/23/2013
    Works as expected.
    STEVE -- santa monica, CA   5/23/2013
    I ordered this appliance module after downloading instructions from the Smarthome website showing that the device would work with X10 controllers. It didn't - when I called tech support they told me my X10 controller was "too old" and I should buy their newer one. I bought another appliance module (PowerHouse)from X10.com and it worked out of the box. I guess the Smarthome device may have worked with their controller, but I paid $8 shipping to find out it wouldn't work with my SmartHome UC1132 controller. Caveat Emptor!
    GEORGE -- los altos, CA   5/16/2013
    Works well as you would expect. Nothing fancy.
    PETER -- natick, MA   5/9/2013
    I am running 4 of these and so far they work as advertised. I use them to control desk lamps from the ISY.
    DAVID -- mukwonago, WI   5/6/2013
    With a little bit of setup works like a champ.
    ERIC -- akron, OH   5/6/2013
    The device works as advertised except that the power rating in their Specifications should be 1800 not 480 Watts. Customer Service has refused to acknowledge or refute this error.
    ROBERT B -- crystal, MN   5/3/2013
    Good construction.
    JAMES -- camp hill, PA   4/25/2013
    Works as advertised
    DAVID -- pittsford, NY   4/25/2013
    Product work for 6 months and then started to leak voltage when off. Very quick replacement by Smarthome! Would purchase again.
    GIo -- lawrenceville, NJ   4/20/2013
    Older 2012 models keep breaking... 10 months lifetime. Smarthome would not replace the older models even if less than 6 months old. I tried to buy them today because the site advertised a 20% sale... The discount was not applied. Smarthome: I am not sure you got all your acts together!
    MARK -- las vegas, NV   4/11/2013
    great product
    RICARDO -- north miami, FL   4/8/2013
    Works great on both Insteon and X10 signals.
    ROLAND -- manchester, TN   3/28/2013
    Works like it should. I have only had one of these fail in the last 6 years. I don't know when they changed the setup to allow linking an Off command instead of an On command, but it is taking me some time to teach myself to besure to turn it on before linking.
    ROBERT -- richmond, VA   3/18/2013
    Only works radumly. I have some R/F interference & house is built of Concrete & Steel. Hope to get it to work 100% once two more units have been added. Instructions are confusing and would be better if they broke down the various ways it can be used.....
    PAUL -- sykesville, MD   3/16/2013
    I bought several of these units to replace some X10 appliance modules. Very nice.
    JOEL -- las vegas, NV   3/10/2013
    Works great. I use it to toggle a power strip that de/activates a mag lock to allow a doggie door to open when a counter weight is released at a set time.
