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 A and B on 2) Press and hold

Phase Bridge Detect Beacon/RF Range Test Micro module automatically bridges the electrical phases in your home (via communications with other dual-band devices on the “other phase”). This is only important in 2-phase homes with powerline-only INSTEON products or buildings with both 2- and 3- phase circuits. The phase bridge detect beacon can also be used as an RF range test to see if your devices are within communication range. You will need at least one other INSTEON dual-band device i
