I’m pleased you liked the website.

The RemoteLinc address is on the label inside of the battery compartment. The battery compartment accepts four (4) AAA batteries. The address label is behind the battery at the bottom of the case, on the sidewall. You have to “stand up” the RemoteLinc to see the address label. They didn’t make it easy to find, but it’s easy to see once you know where to look.

Thanks,

I came across your site somewhat by accident while trying to find out more about my RemoteLinc and my I99Y. Your descriptions are wonderful, but I am left with one question. When linking the RemoteLinc to my I99Y, how do I find the address of the RemoteLinc?

The RemoteLinc can control Insteon devices for all of these applications. There is a wide variety Insteon relays, switches, dimmers and more that replace an existing wall switch or electrical receptacle. See the related articles on this site or surf over to http://www.smarthome.com for products and tutorials.

can this thing be used for other appliances such as both electric shades and lights, possibly projecter and electric screen for a conference room? and is it pretty much as simple as installing a receiver at the existing wallswitch?

I believe the most common setup is to use a command word, something unique that triggers the system into a listening mode. You would say the word prior to any commands and it would wait for 3-5 seconds of silence following to process the command.

I’ll post again once I’ve had a chance to play with it a bit.

The ISY-99i is working great!

Speech recognition be interesting, wonder how it would avoid interference from the TV and other conversations?

This is a great guide for all those just getting into home automation! I love my ISY-99, although I’m considering having it take a backseat to a more advanced solution involving speach recognition.

Are you still using the ISY for your primary setup?
