Overview

  • Allows you to remotely control lights where a neutral wire is not present in the switch box
  • Save money on bills by dimming your lights with this 300-watt dimmer
  • Convenient: Once installed, companion switch and fixture module operate as one device from the switch
  • Uses existing wires to provide a neutral to your companion switch
  • Award-winning INSTEON technology provides superior performance and reliability

Essential Info

Can't use INSTEON because you don't have neutral wires in your switch boxes? You can now, with our new INSTEON 2-wire Dimmer Kit. Remotely control and dim your lights, even if you don't have those once-needed neutral wires in your switch boxes. Now you can enjoy the speed and reliability of INSTEON where never-before possible.

Don't have a neutral somewhere you'd like to control ANY load type? An INSTEON 2-wire On/Off Kit is also available.

Do I have neutrals?

How it Works
The INSTEON 2-wire Dimmer Kit comes with two main pieces: a companion switch that installs in the switch box and a fixture dimmer that installs in your light fixture. With these two devices you'll now be able to convert one of your two wires in your switch box to a neutral, enabling reliable control of your light. The companion switch and fixture dimmer are "paired" at the factory so both devices will act as one. This means that once they're installed, you won't have to go back into the fixture, either for control OR for linking to other INSTEON-compatible devices. Simply put, the companion switch's SET button acts as a remote SET button for the fixture dimmer, giving you added convenience and flexibility.

    Scene Lighting
    Scenes allow you to control multiple lights, rooms or even the whole home with a single command. Because the 2-wire kit can be a member of more than 400 scenes (i.e. "Movie Time," "Party," "Romance," etc.), you'll be able to launch various lighting scenarios with a single button press. These are elegant features usually found only in systems costing tens of thousands of dollars and requiring extensive rewiring of your home. All member lights can ramp to your independently desired brightness levels at your chosen ramp rate(s). So one set of lights can dim slowly, while another set turns off instantly, all controlled with one command from one button. If you want to control multiple scenes from one controller, upgrade to the INSTEON KeypadLinc Dimmer.

    X10 Compatible
    The INSTEON 2-wire Kit is fully INSTEON compatible and X10 ready. Homeowners with existing X10 networks can easily migrate to an INSTEON network without having to discard all their existing X10 devices. X10 ready means that it can respond to X10 commands from an X10 controller and it can send X10 commands to X10 devices. Please note that INSTEON devices repeat INSTEON signals but not X10.

    Non-Volatile Memory
    All 2-wire kit settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are not lost during power failures. Additionally, in the event of a power loss, the 2-wire Dimmer Kit will return to its last brightness level when power is restored.

    Certifications and Warranty
    All SmartLabs Design products are safety approved. The factory for SmartLabs Design products is ISO9001 certified. Because of this passion for quality, Smarthome stands behind the entire line of products with a full 2-year warranty.

    I got really good technical support on the phone before I bought this product, so I was confident that I was getting the best option to solve my wiring problem. The installation was easy and well documented, and I am completely happy with the performance of the switch.
    STEVEN -- ottawa, ON   11/5/2010
    This kit should use the new 2475D that does not have the mounting wings
    WILLIAM -- fresno, CA   1/10/2010
    Works as advertised
    TERRY -- elizabethtown, PA   12/11/2009
    Good option to get neutral into switch box.
    RODNEY -- rockville, MD   5/15/2008
    neat solution to the no neutral problem
    PETER -- wailuku, HI   2/29/2008
    I really like this wall switch/In-LineLinc dimmer combo. The switch works very well on its own. Having the Insteon features, I can control the fixtures using HouseLinc software as well as any Insteon controller. Frankly, I wish that the HomeLinc software was a little more user friendly and a lot more efficent as a piece of software. I don't like to leave it running as I find the software is a resource hog. My only concern is that I've had three 3-wire LampLinc dimmers fail during power outages. Hopefully, this unit is more durable.

    This is a great switch! I have only had the switch installed for a few days now but it works great. I use it with my old x10 controller. The dimmer was relatively easy to install and I love how you can set the dimmer settings. I had originally purchased the x10 wall dimmer switch which was VERY simple to install and operate but the actual wall switch was extremely cheap in quality and constantly would jam and stick. The Insteon 2-wire switch has the feel of a conventional rocker switch. Also, the x10 switch is much larger and had to be jammed into the old small switchbox of my home whereas the Insteon wall switch fit right in like a normal switch. One drawback to the Insteon dimmer is the fact that it requires you to take down the light fixture every time you wish to re-program the switch with your x10 remote.
