TimerLinc Owner’s Manual X10 PROGRAMMING OPTIONS TimerLinc is X10 ready, meaning that it can respond to X10 commands from an X10 controller. However, to operate TimerLinc in X10 mode, you must first set up an X10 Primary Address. As it ships from the factory or after a factory reset procedure, TimerLinc will have not have an X10 Primary Address set up.
TimerLinc Owner’s Manual ADVANCED X10 PROGRAMMING OPTIONS TimerLinc can be a member of up to 255 X10 scenes. An X10 scene address is just another X10 address, like the X10 Primary Address. When an X10 ON command is sent to an X10 scene address, every X10 device with that X10 scene address will turn on to its independent On-Level at its independent Ramp Rate (if a dimmable device).
It is possible that some audio-video devices, computer, power strips, or other electrical equipment may attenuate INSTEON signals on the power line.
