CREATING AN INSTEON SCENE
INSTEON Scenes let you activate dramatic lighting moods with the press of just one button. INSTEON
Scenes are very easy to set up – just link more than one INSTEON module to an ON/OFF Button Pair on
an INSTEON Controller. Then, when you press either the ON or the OFF Button on the INSTEON
Controller, all of the INSTEON modules linked in the scene will respond as a group. You can link multiple
ICON Lamp Dimmers or other INSTEON modules to multiple INSTEON Controllers.
To add an additional ICON Lamp Dimmer to a scene controlled by an ON/OFF Button Pair on an
INSTEON Controller, simply follow the same procedure that you used for linking the first ICON Lamp
Dimmer. See Linking ICON Lamp Dimmer to an INSTEON Controller, above. To adjust the On-Level by
itself, see HOW TO SET UP ON-LEVELS To remove an ICON Lamp Dimmer from a scene, see Unlinking
ICON Lamp Dimmer from an INSTEON Controller.
TIP
With some INSTEON Controllers, you can avoid having to hold a button down for 10 seconds for each
setup step by placing the Controller in Scene Setup Mode, also called Multilink Mode. Refer to your
INSTEON Controller’s User’s Guide for detailed instructions on how to set it to Scene Setup Mode.
The following will work for an ICON Tabletop Controller.
1. Set the ICON Tabletop Controller to Scene Setup Mode for the ON/OFF Button Pair you want to
use for controlling the scene by pressing and holding the ON Button of the pair for 10 seconds,
then tapping the same ON Button again. ICON Tabletop Controller’s Status LED will blink slowly.
2. Press and hold the black SET Button on ICON Lamp Dimmer for 3 seconds. The lamp you are
controlling will blink to confirm linking. ICON Tabletop Controller will beep to confirm linking, and
its Status LED will continue to blink slowly.
3. If you want to adjust the On-Level, you can do so by following the steps above in the section
HOW TO SET UP ON-LEVELS (don’t press the On-Button for 10 seconds when adjusting On-
Level while you’re in Scene Setup Mode).
4. Continue Steps 2 and 3 for any additional INSTEON modules you want to link to the scene.
5. When you are finished linking INSTEON modules to the desired ON/OFF Button, complete Scene
Setup by pressing the ON Button. ICON Tabletop Controller’s Status LED will stop blinking and
remain steadily on. You have about 4 minutes of inactivity before Scene Setup Mode times out
automatically.
