The IM first sends an ALL-Link Broadcast message with Max Hops set to 3. When it sends the ensuing
ALL-Link Cleanup messages, it sets Max Hops to 1. If the IM’s INSTEON Engine needs to retry a
Cleanup message, it will automatically increment Max Hops for each retry, up to a maximum of value of
3.
The IM sends the ALL-Link Broadcast message immediately if there is no other INSTEON traffic. If
there is other INSTEON traffic, the IM will wait for one silent powerline zero crossing following a
completed INSTEON message. The IM will send the first ALL-Link Cleanup message after a delay of 7
zero crossings. Subsequent Cleanups will go out with a delay of 2 zero crossings.
Do not use this command to control light levels with the Light Start Manual Change INSTEON
Command SA 0x17. Use Send INSTEON Standard-length Message
19
to send INSTEON Command
SD 0x17 instead.
