 +====== Insteon Locks and Lock Controllers ======
 +Currently, Insteon only supplies a single lock controller.
 +
 +===== MorningLinc =====
 +
 +The MorningLinc controller uses RF to control locks and deadbolts from Morning Industries. Because the RF communication is one-way, there is no status presented from the lock to the MorningLinc, so Indigo can't know the status of the lock (locked or unlocked).
 +
 +The controller has an additional Insteon security feature which requires special linking steps. Specifically, you must use the technique of holding the MorningLinc's SET button when defining it and **not** try entering the Insteon address directly into Indigo, and you must perform the Define and Sync process in Indigo twice as detailed below.
 +
 +To define the MorningLinc device in Indigo for the Locked (Turn On) Command:
 +
 +  - Make sure the MorningLinc is in the **locked** state. Single tap the SET button on the MorningLinc to toggle between the states if it isn't currently locked.
 +  - Select the ''**File->New Device...**'' menu item to create a new Indigo device.
 +  - Press the ''**Define and Sync...**'' button inside the device dialog.
 +  - Press and hold the SET button on the MorningLinc module itself for 3 seconds. The Insteon address should automatically fill in to the Define and Sync dialog. If it does not, then try plugging the MorningLinc into the same outlet / circuit as the PowerLinc.
 +  - Press the ''**Start**'' button.
 +  - Indigo should now start the linking process. If Indigo is unable to communicate with the MorningLinc RF, then again press and hold the SET button on the MorningLinc for 3 or 4 seconds.
 +
 +Next we need to re-Define and Sync the module again for the Unlocked (Turn Off) Command:
 +
 +  - Make sure the MorningLinc is in the **unlocked** state. Single tap the SET button on the MorningLinc to toggle between the states if it isn't currently unlocked.
 +  - Press the ''**Define and Sync...**'' button inside the device dialog.
 +  - Double tap the MorningLinc SET button and wait 3 seconds before the next step (the 3 second wait is important).
 +  - Press and hold the MorningLinc SET button for 3 seconds. The LED should flash once and turn OFF.
 +  - Press the ''**Start**'' button.
 +  - Indigo should now start the linking process. If Indigo is unable to communicate with the MorningLinc RF, then repeat steps 3 to 5.
 +
 +Once this is completed you should be able to both lock and unlock the device by using the **Turn On** and **Turn Off** buttons in the UI. If locking works but unlocking fails then repeat the last section of steps above.
