Essential Info

Ever wished you could add a light switch to a wall but didn't because of the cost and hassle? With RemoteLinc 2, you're free to place a switch wherever you need it! The RemoteLinc 2 Switch is an easy-to-use wireless remote that allows you to control INSTEON dimmers, switches and plug-in or receptacle dimmers. Now you can raise and lower light levels and program scenes for multiple lights from anywhere. Mount it to the wall to create a traditional switch in the perfect location - without having to rewire (wall mount bracket and wallplate sold separately). You can also make it a tabletop control for your nightstand, counter or coffee table by attaching it to a tabletop stand (sold separately); turn on your house lights from the car by attaching it to a visor clip (sold separately); or even use it as a lightweight handheld remote. The RemoteLinc 2 Switch is ultra-easy to install and operate, giving you the most flexibility for a truly smart home with INSTEON.

RemoteLinc 2 is powered by a rechargeable lithium battery. Based on average usage, expected battery life between charges is 9-12 months. Recharge using any standard USB Type A to Micro-B cable (sold separately).

RemoteLinc 2 Switch can directly control the following RF-compatible devices:
SwitchLinc (Dual-Band)
LampLinc (Dual-Band)
OutletLinc Dimmer (Dual-Band)
KeypadLinc (Dual-Band)
INSTEON-compatible Venstar thermostats
220V / 240V 30 Amp Load Controllers (Dual-Band)

To control devices that are not RF-compatible, you'll need at least one dual-band device to convert the RF signal from the remote into power line signals.

Want more control? The RemoteLinc 2 is also available in a 4-scene and 8-scene keypad.

Required Accessories
  • USB Charging Cable is required to charge RemoteLinc 2. With the cable you can charge RemoteLinc 2 by plugging the cable into a computer USB port or into a USB power adapter.
  • If the INSTEON device you intend to control does not receive RF signals (i.e., power line only), you will need at least one dual-band INSTEON device to convert the RF signals to power line signals.

    What's Included

  • RemoteLinc 2 - INSTEON Wireless Switch
  • Rechargeable battery (pre-installed, non-replaceable)
  • Quick-start guide
  • More Info

    How it Works
    Like a traditional switch, tapping the top paddle turns your lights (or scenes) on and tapping the bottom paddle turns your lights (or scenes) off; press and hold the top paddle to brighten every light in the scene or press and hold the bottom paddle to dim every light in the scene. The LED status indicator blinks green for ON commands and red for OFF commands. The LED indicator will also let you know if a device did not acknowledge the command.

    Additional programming options allow RemoteLinc 2 Switch to function as a 2-scene controller, making the top paddle control one scene and the bottom paddle control another. This can be set to alternate between ON and OFF for each press (toggle) or only send ON (non-toggle).

    Software Configurable
    Using compatible software such as HouseLinc, you can quickly setup scenes and configure button behavior, all from your computer.

    More Benefits
    • Power switch for disabling buttons ("vacation" or "pocket" mode)

    • Stuck Button Mode - saves battery life by going to sleep if button stuck down

    • Compatible with most decorator wallplates (Wall Mount Bracket required)

    • Built-in battery charge LED indicator

    I keep one of these in the car. It's nice to be able to turn the lights on (or off) from inside the automobile.
    STEPHEN -- hillard, OH   5/5/2012
    Nowhere near the range suggested. The In-Line Linc Relay I bought is about 8 feet from where this switch is mounted on the wall. The relay is in an electrical box in the attic just above the wall containing the switch. The switch is able to turn the relay on maybe 15% of the time at this range. I believe the product quotes 50' line-of-sight, so 8' through walls should be a reasonable expectation. Very disappointed for what these cost. My options now are to do a nearly impossible 3-way wire in (due to the layout and location of these things) or invest more in Insteon bridges to try to get the signal where it needs to go.
    RICHARD -- kirkland, QC   5/3/2012
    Excellent product. Looks just like a real, wired wall switch. Easy to configure settings.
    BOB -- arley, AL   4/22/2012
    Range is very limited when close to other wired switches.
    KARLA -- etna, CA   4/16/2012
    I absolutely love this item. it solved a big problem I have with an old house I bought. Although I do feel that it is too expensive.
    GREG -- tulsa, OK   2/3/2012
    Great product, but the range is pretty much line-of-sight. Hope other RF products are more reliable.
    DEB -- timonium, MD   1/23/2012
    LOVE it! Have waited for a wireless option for quite sometime and am thrilled to finally see it.
    PETER -- cary, NC   1/2/2012
    Love how I can just use the wall mount bracket and add a switch without putting a big hole in the wall!
    M. -- lexington, MA   12/29/2011
    Inconsistent: some time the 2444A3WH works and some time it doesn’t work.
    SEAN -- derwood, MD   12/26/2011
    Part of a slowly expanding installation, these units were easy to install and set up. New users should ensure that they have a neutral wire and space for an InLineLinc before ordering (I checked and did) but otherwise these are a simple installation. In this particular case, the InLineLinc, the RemoteLinc, and the bracket were used to install a wall switch in a room that previously only had a pull-string light. Much nicer to have the wall switch – and even better not to have to pay for pulling cable. The control systems aspect was an added benefit. On the down side, the RemoteLinc switches have a markedly different look and feel from the SwitchLinc and/or standard switches. If your installation includes ganging the devices, know in advance that they won’t look ‘perfect’ and the different feel will be highlighted every time you operate the switches.
    JESSIE O. -- downers grove, IL   12/23/2011
    Works as advertised and looks very nice moiunted on the wall using the associated bracket. The beep used in setup could be louder and it would be nice if battery life of a year or so could be anticipated. Also, the button action could have a more positive feel. The website could have a clearer description of the equipment required to complete a wireless installation.
    VITALY LYSENKO -- doral, FL   12/8/2011
    Works as expected.
    RAYMOND -- colorado city, CO   12/8/2011
    Solved a tricky problem where previous owner of our house improperly wired a 3-way switch. Running another line was impractical, so this wireless remote filled the bill. Mounted over the existing box with the improper wiring tucked way back and capped off. No one the wiser!
    JAMES -- lakewood, OH   10/31/2011
    The product is great. But if you buy from SmartHome, you will be bombarded with Product Satisfaction Surveys until you fill one out. The product is great, but buying from Smarthome is annoying.
    Arthur -- tenafly , NJ   10/31/2011
    Looks and works like a real switch. Ever since we built our new kitchen we have regretted not putting in a three way switch for one of our lights. Now, problem solved in thirty seconds. Easy install. Only downside is lack of color choices and no ISY support but I'm guessing both comming soon
