By setting your INSTEON or x10 dimmers to ramp on slowly, you'll avoid the shock of a sudden harsh light in a darkened room. |
|
 |
Control X10 devices using your home theater remote. The Infrared X10 Command Console translates X10 commands from an IR remote to adjust the volume and dim the lights with one remote. |
|

If you plug your Christmas tree lights into an outlet that can't be reached conveniently, plug the lights into an INSTEON ApplianceLinc, and you'll be able to turn them on and off remotely with an INSTEON ControLinc Tabletop Controller. You can also use an ApplianceLinc - INSTEON Outdoor Plug-In On / Off Appliance Module for your exterior lights and control them with the same INSTEON ControLinc Tabletop Controller. |

Use Multi-Link mode to program scenes easily on the INSTEON KeypadLinc Dimmer. Enter Multi-Link by holding the button you want to control for 10 seconds (KeypadLinc will enter Linking Mode) and then press the SET button. Now just link all devices you want the button to control by pushing the ON button for 10 seconds on each device. Tapping the control button on the KeypadLinc will exit Multi-Link mode. Test button. |
|
 |
Time the fade rate on your INSTEON Switchlinc Dimmer so you can turn the lights off at the switch (across the room) and the lights won't fully go out until after you've gotten into bed. |
|

|
Easily program any X10 device to be controlled by the INSTEON ControLinc Tabletop Controller by pressing and holding the button you wish to program for 10 seconds to set it to "program" mode. Then send the X10 address to the button you wish to control three times plus an "ON" signal using a X10 controller. |
|

|
When creating a 3-way switch with the INSTEON SwitchLinc Relay switches, make sure to cross-link the two switches. |
|

|
You can easily set the ramp rate for any INSTEON Dimmer switch. The ramp rate is set according to the brightness level (brightest being instant on and dimmest taking 9 seconds to full brightness). Select the desired ramp level. Now press the SET button TWICE quickly to lock in the ramp rate. Lights will flash to confirm. Test to verify. |
|
 |
You can customize your INSTEON SwitchLinc Dimmers with different colored paddles and LED lights. |
|

|
While the 8 LED lights on the INSTEON SwitchLinc Dimmer are great for indicating the current brightness of the lights being controlled, you may not want a bright light bar in the bedroom, especially for light sleepers sensitive to light. Add the Frosted White Light Pipes to mute the brightness o f the status lights.
