Overview

• Bridges RF-only INSTEON devices with power line-only INSTEON devices
• Uses 915MHz band for fast, reliable communication

Essential Info

INSTEON is a powerful, home-control networking technology that will enhance the comfort, safety, convenience and value of your home. The INSTEON Access Point (& Wireless Phase Coupler) is the most important part of the INSTEON network. Access Points allow RF-only INSTEON devices (like a RemoteLinc) to send commands to power line-only INSTEON devices (like a SwitchLinc). If you need more coverage for your INSTEON RF devices, you only need to add another Access Point. Also, when used in pairs, Access Points can couple the phases in your electrical wiring, allowing commands to freely travel to all locations in your home. What is INSTEON?

More Info

The INSTEON Access Point (& Wireless Phase Coupler) creates your dual-mesh INSTEON network by simultaneously transmitting and receiving INSTEON commands across both radio frequency and your home's existing wiring. When used as a pair, the Access Points also couple the two different electrical phases of your home. Each Access Point also repeats INSTEON commands, adding to the network's robust reliability. Please Note: Access Points repeat INSTEON signals and not X10.

You can also purchase Access Points in a set of two. A refurbished version of the Access Point is also available: Refurbished Access Points maintain the same quality, specifications and warranty as the originals, but since they can't be sold as new, you can take advantage of this offer and enjoy substantial cost savings.

Control All of Your Lights From Your Couch
Using a INSTEON RemoteLinc Wireless Remote Control (sold separately), the first wireless remote to send INSTEON commands to your lighting and appliances to control them remotely, you'll be able to turn all INSTEON-compatible devices in your home on and off at the press of a button. The Access Point bridges the RemoteLinc's RF signals to your home's powerline, delivering power and scene commands to INSTEON-compatible devices throughout the house.

White status LED
The LED is used initially to help set up your network. After the initial setup, the white LED will flicker as it sends or receives INSTEON signals, making it easy to see when there is traffic traveling through your INSTEON network.

Technical Note for use in Commercial or Large Residential Building
INSTEON has only officially been tested in a 2-phase residential environment, but has been known to work in many 3-phase systems, where 3 Access Points are used (one on each phase). However, due to the potential complexity of its troubleshooting, Smarthome Technical Support is unable to support INSTEON in 3-phase environments.
