Other Documents Included by Reference
This INSTEON Hub Developer’s Guide contains information abstracted from the comprehensive
INSTEON Developer’s Guide, 2
nd
Edition.
Although the full INSTEON Developer’s Guide is largely self-contained, there are aspects of INSTEON
technology, such as listings of INSTEON Commands, INSTEON Device Categories, and INSTEON
Product Keys, that require continuous updating as developers create new INSTEON products.
Accordingly, SmartLabs maintains separate documents for that kind of information.
All of the documents listed in this section are available for downloading at http://code.insteon.com.
INSTEON Developer’s Guide
The book-length INSTEON Developer’s Guide, 2

Edition is the primary source for the information
contained in this (much shorter) INSTEON Hub Developer’s Guide. Some links in this document refer to
information found there. Developers who purchase an INSTEON Software Developer’s Kit may download
the INSTEON Developer’s Guide from http://code.insteon.com.
INSTEON Conformance Specification

Developer’s Guide.

Developer’s Guide.
