Control Any INSTEON or X10 Device Remotely From This Tabletop Controller INSTEON Table Top ControLinc (2430)
INSTEON compatibility for outstanding performance
Five-button robust tabletop controller
Install and set up in less than 5 minutes
Essential Information: The ControLinc V2 tabletop controller has five sets of ON/OFF buttons and can be set up in less than five minutes to create dramatic lighting scenes and/or remotely control INSTEON (patent pending) lighting or appliance modules anywhere in the home. Put a ControLinc on your bedside table to control downstairs lamps in the middle of the night remotely if you hear a noise. It can even control a legacy X10 device.
Details and Specifications: Upgrade your home with automated lighting, appliances, security, and more by installing an INSTEON network. The ControLinc can be set up to control one INSTEON module or all the modules in the home, providing a virtually limitless set of options for customizing your home's lighting.
Setup The ControLinc uses a simple "Plug and Tap" process to link to other INSTEON devices. Put the ControLinc in setup mode by pressing any of the five ON buttons for 10 seconds, and then press the button on the module you would like to control. That's all it takes to link the ControLinc to any module!
Scene Capable Each of the five ON/OFF buttons on the ControLinc can be set up to control one INSTEON module or all of the modules in the home.
Works with Legacy X10 Products Each of the five ON/OFF buttons on the ControLinc can be assigned an X10 address. This enables the ControLinc to bridge your INSTEON network with your legacy X10 network. The ControLinc ON/OFF buttons can be assigned any X10 address and do not have to be assigned sequentially. This makes the ControLinc an excellent replacement for your existing X10 mini-controller.
INSTEON, developed by SmartLabs, is defining the future of the home control network with a revolutionary technology that gives you the power to control your home simply and affordably, while giving you more dependability and flexibility than any other home management system on the market.
Award Winning
INSTEON is: affordable, reliable, simple to use. It is the world's:

Most reliable (near 100%)
Simplest to use
Best selling remote control & home automation networking technology.
How does INSTEON work? INSTEON's unsurpassed reliability is due to its dual-mesh network, which means that messages between devices are sent both wirelessly through Radio Frequency (RF) and through your home's existing electrical wiring. Every message is confirmed as it is received, and if any errors are detected, the message is automatically resent. The network is also redundant; every device on an INSTEON network receives and sends every message to every other device, so instead of stressing the network by adding more INSTEON devices, you actually strengthen it.
INSTEON sends signals both through the air (RF) and over the home's electrical wires (powerline)
Every INSTEON device has its own unique ID (similar to a serial address) so your neighbors can't control your home
Every INSTEON device is a repeater - so the signal gets through every time
Every INSTEON message is confirmed, or the transmitter will automatically retry until a confirmation is received
INSTEON messages take less than 5 / 100ths of a second to get through - so things turn "on" instantly (INSTEON = instant-on)
No central controller or networking setup is required - a simple plug-n-tap™? is all that is required to link one INSTEON product to another
X10 Ready - each INSTEON product can be given one or more X10 addresses allowing X10 controllers to control it as well as allowing it to be used as an X10 controller
What are some popular uses of INSTEON? Because INSTEON was developed specifically for home control and automation, the possibilities of an INSTEON network are limited only by your imagination and the types of INSTEON-enabled devices on your network. Let your garage door opener tell your kitchen lights to come on, or let the "play" button on your remote simultaneously close the blinds, dim the lights and turn on the surround sound. Don't settle for a smoke alarm that simply alerts you, insist on one that will illuminate your family's exit route. Whether you're looking for a basic lighting control system or envision a fully integrated and automated Home of Tomorrow, if you can dream it, you can do it with INSTEON.
Press a single button on the remote control next to your bed to turn off all the lights in your house
Create a dinner-time, party-time or other whole-house scenes
Create a pathway to safety for young family members by scheduling lights to turn on when the smoke detector is triggered
Reduce energy costs by setting fans to turn on and blinds to close instead of triggering the air conditioning when thermostats reach a designated set point
Receive an instant text message on your cell phone when a leak is detected in the basement
What is INSTEON used for?
Scene and remote control lighting

Appliance management
Fire alarm system networking
Exhaust fan control and networking
Irrigation control
Shade and blind control
Where Did INSTEON Come from? INSTEON was developed at SmartLabs Technologies over 5 years of R&D and testing.

Who is Making INSTEON Products? Over 500 manufacturers and developers are currently engaged with INSTEON. Ranging from large manufacturers (RCA, First Alert, Broan NuTone, etc. to smaller software developers). A wide range of products and software are under development and expected to ship beginning in 2006.
How Reliable is INSTEON? Nearly 100%. Over 10 million signal packets were tested in over 100 homes across America. A near-perfect success rate of over 99.97% was measured. Each INSTEON message contains error detection, so lights turning on accidentally will virtually never happen. Each message must be confirmed or automatic retries will be made - making sure that your message gets through. Since every INSTEON-enabled product is a repeater, the reliability increases as you install more INSTEON-enabled products.
Affordable Perhaps the most remarkable thing about INSTEON is its affordability. INSTEON can be integrated into any number of products easily and at a very low cost, so it will impact your life a whole lot more that it will impact your wallet. Other technologies claim to be affordable, but none of them get close to the $20 price point that INSTEON-enabled products hit.
Fast INSTEON messages get through in less than 0.05 seconds. Humans cannot see "delays" of less than about 0.20 seconds. Therefore, there are no visible delays when using INSTEON.
X10 Ready INSTEON is also compatible with X10 devices, so if you've already started putting together a home control network, you don't have to start from scratch. It's advanced digital signal processing means messages of up to 14 bytes get sent blisteringly fast, and the number of developers in the INSTEON Alliance, currently over 500, continues to grow. INSTEON-enabled products repeat INSTEON messages, but not the X10 messages. Simply put, INSTEON is on the move, and you're about to take control of your home. For good.
INSTEON was designed for messages to be repeated many times, X10 was not, making it impossible to repeat X10 messages numerous times.
