INSTEON Setup A scene consists of 1 or more INSTEON devices that respond to 1 or more INSTEON controller(s). When the scene is activated (turned on), all scene members return to the states they were at when the scene was programmed. INSTEON scenes let you activate dramatic lighting moods at the touch of a button. For example, you can set all the lights in a scene to dim to 50% or turn certain lights on while turning others off, all with the tap of a button on any INSTEON controller.

Adjust Local Settings Each of the Keypad buttons is considered a “scene button,” meaning you can use any of the buttons on Keypad to create INSTEON scenes. Each button will control its own scene, only sending commands to devices linked specifically to that button. Dimmable responders may behave differently, depending on whether you tap, double-tap or press and hold a button to activate/deactivate a scene.
Local On-Level The local on-level is the default brightness level at which the light(s) physically wired to Keypad will turn on. The default local on-level is 100%, but can be set to any one of 33 settings, 32 fixed brightness levels (3% to 100%) or “Resume Bright,” which will result in the light returning to the brightness level it was at prior to being turned off. We recommend using home-management software such as HouseLinc to set the local on-level.
Note: For proper operation, Keypad must be programmed to operate in 6-button or 8-button mode, corresponding to whichever plate is attached. See Configuring for 6 or 8-Button Operation.
Changing Buttons Keypad buttons can be swapped out with custom-etched buttons to customize its appearance. Using a small, flat-edged screwdriver only, carefully pry up on the sides of the keys from the middle of the keypad (when possible). Make sure you are centered on the key so as to catch the small edge located there for this purpose. Please note that behind the buttons are clear plastic filler pieces; these diffuse the buttons’ LEDs’ lights more elegantly.

Troubleshooting NOTE: Unless they have been unlinked, INSTEON devices that had been previously linked to Keypad Dimmer Dual-Band will still respond to button presses, even after a factory reset. The reason is that the INSTEON devices themselves have not been unlinked from Keypad Dimmer Dual-Band. See Removing Keypad Button from a Scene as a Controller. Problem Possible Cause Solution Make sure the circuit breaker is turned on. The LEDs on Keypad are not turning on at all and won't control my light.
Remove the X10 Primary Address or X10 scene address from Keypad. When I try to turn on my light with another Controller, the light turns on, then back off. Keypad may be set up with an INSTEON On-Level at a high brightness and an X10 Primary or scene address On-Level at a low brightness. When I press a button on Keypad, it takes a long time for other INSTEON devices it is controlling to respond.
