INSTEON In-wall Relay Switches

On this page, you'll find information and links to pages to help you best use your in-wall INSTEON relay (available for purchase here and here). Note: while dimmer switches and relay switches look very similar, they have a fundamental difference that you should read about. This page talks about relays - there is a corresponding page that talks about INSTEON dimmer switches.

INSTEON in-wall relays come in several flavors: SwitchLincs, ToggleLincs, ICON dimmers, and KeypadLincs (which also have other buttons - there are more details elsewhere about using those buttons). Each of these devices share some common tasks:

• Defining in Indigo
• Creating a Scene

Also, you may find these how-tos useful:

• Turn a light off automatically after a certain amount of time
• How do I get a light to come on and go off on a schedule?
• How do I link a light to a motion sensor so that it comes on when something moves?
