Control Multiple Devices Simultaneously with a Basic Scene

If you want to control multiple devices simultaneously, either from the Insteon app or from another Insteon device like a Wall Keypad button, Mini Remote or Sensor, use an Insteon scene. The steps in this article detail how to create a basic scene using the Director app. Learn more about the new Insteon Director app.

Step 1

Start by navigating to the Scenes page using the navigation bar at the bottom of the app. And then tap the plus icon located in the upper right of the screen.

Step 2

Give your scene a unique name and then tap Next.

Step 3

Pick a room for your scene. You can choose from your existing rooms, create a new room from the list of suggestions, or create a custom room.

Once you choose a room, tap on Next.

Step 4

Choose your Directors. These are the ways your scene gets triggered. You can have a keypad button, a switch, a sensor, or a tile inside the app trigger your scene. Once you choose your Director(s) tap Next.

Step 5

Choose your Actors. These are the devices that will react when the scene is triggered and turn on, off, dim or brighten.

Once you have selected your Actors tap Next.

Step 6

Choose your Actions. These are what your Actors will perform when the scene is triggered. There are shortcuts to have all devices in the scene perform the same Action, or you can fine tune what each Actor does individually.

Tapping on individual Actors in the scene brings up the Dimmer and Fade Speed settings

Once you have finished configuring your Actions, tap Next.

Step 7

Review your scene. Here you can see a summary of the scene you are configuring and make any edits before you save. If everything looks good, tap Save Scene.

The Insteon Mobile app will create all the necessary links for you scene.

Once the scene is done saving you can Activate or Deactivate your scene by using the button on the scene tile.
