🔆 INSTEON Keypad Dimmer Switch: Dual-Band, 6-Button, Light Almond - Innovative Lighting Control Solution Review

First, the keyboard and Insteon work very well once they are all installed and programmed. Insteon is far superior to the X-10 in terms of reliability and flexibility. All Insteon modules are well made and very easy to install, requiring only basic electrical knowledge. Caution: Insteon switches and panels are larger than regular wall switches and take up much more space in regular wall boxes, potentially making wiring a challenge. Don't just follow the document that comes with the panel that…

I've had two of them fail and they were about two years old. The first bug was pretty scary because the track light it was controlling started flickering continuously and the switch had no control over it. When I removed the switch from the wall, I saw that while it flickered, something in the keyboard sparked. It could be a relay, but it had way more sparks than I've seen with other relays. I was very concerned that this might start a fire. I had to unplug the circuit breaker to keep it from…

Great flexibility and functionality. It wasn't initially clear to me that you could set this switch without tying it to the light you're controlling. For example, you install it in connection with the power supply connected, but without connecting the lead wires. With the hub you can program smart devices such as Insteon lamps (INSTEON 2672-292 LED lamp) and Insteon Fanlink (Insteon 2475F FanLinc). This allows you to control multiple lights and a fan where there was only one switch. Example: I…

It is true that Insteon devices can fail during the lifespan of Spam. However, this is the best option if you need a simple or complex installation. You can install 02 switches in your home and connect them into a triple without a hub or controller. You can add a hub and sync these switches as you wish. I have installed Smart Switches as a home automation integrator for the last 15 years and have used Insteon, Radio RA, Belkin IP Switches and Z-Wave. At the moment I only use Insteon. I have…

Like many other people, Insteon keyboards are unreliable. I've been using Insteon devices for almost 8 years (long before Zwave or Zigbee came along). I have over 120 Insteon and ISY devices for the controller and every switch in my house has been replaced with an Insteon device. Overall my experience with Insteon devices, ease of use and reliability was very good with the exception of keyboard switches. Unfortunately the only real way to control ceiling fans is with a keyboard switch and…

February 13, 2017 (This thing sucks! Now I'm losing an Insteon device every two to three months!) I love this product, but I can take it You have to constantly replace new equipment that works out of the box and does not work, and of course they are no longer covered by the guarantee. As detailed below, Smarthome won't exchange them, just promise their new devices shouldn't have these problems! stars up to 1! I lost another 6 button KPL version 6.2 with date code 1150. It started blinking under
