Make DIN Rail a Responder
Control DIN Rail from another INSTEON device:
1) Press and hold controller button until it beeps
Controller LED will start blinking
2) Press and hold DIN Rail paddle top or bottom to adjust load to desired
brightness (or off) when scene is activated
Connected load will respond appropriately
3) Press and hold DIN Rail set button until it double-beeps
Controller will double-beep and its LED will stop blinking
4) Test by tapping controller button on and off
Connected load will return to the state set in step #2

Make DIN Rail a Controller
Use DIN Rail to control other INSTEON devices:
1) Press and hold DIN Rail set button until it beeps
DIN Rail LED will start blinking green
2) Turn responder on (or any other state such as on 50% or even off)
3) Press and hold responder set button until it double-beeps
DIN Rail will double-beep and its LED will stop blinking
4) Test by tapping DIN Rail paddle top and bottom
Responder load will respond appropriately
DIN Rail LED will turn green when load is on and red when load is off
Notes:
- To add multiple responders, repeat steps 1-4
- The link just created is one way. See “Make DIN Rail a Responder” to add another link to keep the two products
in synch or see “Groups” section.
Groups
Devices in a group share all the same settings (e.g., on-level, ramp rate). This keeps all group members
synchronized. Every device in a group is both a controller of, and responder to, all the other devices. The most
common example of a group is a 3-way lighting circuit (2 switches). For simplicity, we will assume that the desired
group level is on.
The following steps will create a virtual 3-way circuit including device “A” and device “B”:
1) Turn on devices A and B
Device A and B loads will turn on
2) Press and hold device A set button until it beeps
Device A status LED will start blinking green
3) Press and hold device B set button until it double-beeps
Device A will double-beep and its LED will stop blinking (device A is now a controller of device B)
4) Press and hold device B set button until it beeps
Device B LED will start blinking green
5) Press and hold device A set button until it double-beeps
Device B will double-beep and its LED will stop blinking (device B is now a controller of device A)
6) Test by turning load on and off from device A and then device B
The load(s) and both devices A and B LEDs will remain in synch
Scenes
Devices in a scene can each have different settings. This provides for advanced lighting, audio, etc scene creation.
Software is recommended for scene management.
