Appendix F: INSTEON Device Notes

Some INSTEON devices require special care when used with the ISY. Some need to be
added to the system in a specific way, and some have unique options available when
configuring with the ISY. This section details some of this information and more.
As always, please refer to the manufacturer's documentation first. Please consider the
following notes as a secondary source of information.
The following notes are sorted alphabetically by device name.
ApplianceLinc
Current ApplianceLincs will not act as controllers – they will not notify the ISY or control
other linked devices if turned on or off locally (via the SET button or using load sensing).
EZI/O Devices (SimpleHomeNet)
Due to variations in firmware on SimpleHomeNet devices, some units (especially older
firmware) may not work well with the ISY. Symptoms include the ISY not being notified of
sensor state changes.
If you're having an issue with the ISY receiving status updates from an EZIO device, try the
following steps:
remove the device from the ISY
factory reset the device
add the device back to the ISY by using "New INSTEON Device" and typing in the
address
I/OLinc
Several options are available when configuring an I/OLinc on the ISY. These include:
Timeout (seconds) - Sets the length of time the relay will close when Momentary is
selected.
Program Lock - Disables Set Button programming.
Relay Follows Input - Sets Relay On when Sensor is On and Off when sensor if Off.
Send X10 Send On (or Off) - Send X10 when the sensor changes.
Trigger Off - If the TrigOff bit is set, Close Switch sends an OFF and Open Switch sends
an ON. If the TrigOff bit is clear, Close Switch sends an ON and Open Switch sends an
OFF.
LED on TX - The LED will flash when the device sends Insteon commands.
