Overview

  • Control this dimmer remotely from anywhere
  • Programmable on-level and fade on/off speed
  • Featuring dual-band INSTEON technology for the fastest and most reliable performance
  • Automatically detects 50 or 60 Hertz electricity and supports 100-277VAC
  • Doubles as an Access Point

Essential Info

This high-tech yet easy to use dimmer takes your home into the future by giving you the ability to set the speed at which the light fades On and Off, a preset on-level for always remembering your favorite brightness level and best of all being able to remotely control the dimmer from a handheld remote, wall keypad, computer or mobile phone (controllers are sold separately). With high-end quality, at-a-glance LED status and remote controllability, you'll see how easy it is to create your own home of the future.

The SwitchLinc installs like a traditional wall switch with the exception of requiring connection to neutral. Most homes have a neutral wire available (see How to check if I have neutral wires?). If you do not have a neutral wire available, use the SwitchLinc 2-Wire Dimmer. Once installed setup is quick and easy using simple programming.

SwitchLinc now supports 100-277VAC and 50/60Hz electrical systems, enabling INSTEON users outside of the US the opportunity to utilize our most advanced in-wall dimmer switch.

    Slim Design
    Similar dimmers are up to 50 percent deeper than the SwitchLinc Dimmer. Thanks to its slim design, it makes installation easy even in small junction boxes.

    Beautiful, High-Quality Construction
    Unlike other switches, the SwitchLinc Dimmer offers the natural feel of high-end dimmers. You'll love the crisp, tactile response with each touch instead of the mushy feeling of other brands. The SwitchLinc Dimmer is designed and manufactured to high-end specifications and goes through over 10 quality control tests before arriving at your doorstep. This modern Decora-style switch will blend with any room's design. Additional colors are available and sold separately. Choose the color that best suits your room's decor: Ivory, Light Almond, Almond, Black, Brown, or Gray. Don't forget to order a matching wallplates.

    Scene Lighting
    Scenes allow you to control multiple lights, rooms or even the whole home with a single command. Because the SwitchLinc Dimmer 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, we recommend the INSTEON KeypadLinc Dimmer.

    Compatibility
    The SwitchLinc Dimmer 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 an X10 power line command from an X10 controller. Please note that INSTEON devices repeat INSTEON signals but not X10.

    Dual-Band
    This member of the SwitchLinc family is dual band so it has the ability to communicate using both the electrical wires in the home (powerline) as well as using radio frequency (RF). This increases reliability not only for the SwitchLinc but for all devices on an INSTEON home control network (similar to the function of an Access Point).

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

    Note: As with all wall dimmers, the SwitchLinc may feel warm during operation. Rigorously tested and approved to UL-standards, the amount of heat generated falls well within approved limits and poses no threat to your home or the lifespan of the device.

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

    KURT -- erie, CO   4/18/2011
    Works great, although the phase bridge mode is very hard to use. You have to press the button 4 times very quickly and phase-bridge mode must be initiated from this device rather than another dual band device which is an unfortunate limitation.
    RAEFORD -- clover, SC   4/7/2011
    No issues --- these are great.
    RICHARD -- metttawa, IL   3/31/2011
    works as advertised
    RAEFORD -- clover, SC   3/28/2011
    Thease are easy to install and do the job of being able to dim lights and auto control them.
    JEFFREY -- potomac, MD   3/24/2011
    Does everything the 2476 did plus it is duel band. It also has all of the improvements of the 2476 version. Only recommendation is that insert should explain how to set ramp rate and on level like the old inserts did.
    TYSON -- west jordan, UT   3/19/2011
    Works very well. Nice to have to expand the capability of my system
    SPENCER -- salt lake city, UT   3/11/2011
    Very happy with this. I live in an older home, and wasn't sure if I had the "neutral" line suggested in the product information. But after a few minutes of trial and error, I got it to work just fine. Excellent product.
    PAT -- los angeles, CA   3/11/2011
    Work great! Exactly as advertised!
    JEFF -- issaquah, WA   3/6/2011
    Easy to install. Much smaller than older X10 switches. I wish i could change the LEDs to match the older Smarthome X10 Switchs to avoid changing both switches in the box. Dual Band Switches don't always link to the Smartlink Ethernet controller. I found a workaround (typing the commands in the custom control area).
    CRAIG -- marietta, GA   2/17/2011
    The switches were easy to install and worked as advertised. I have not integrated them with X10 yet - the directions were a little light about X10 integration.
    KEN -- chelsea, MI   2/7/2011
    From now on I'm only buying the dual-band products, as they are one of the best product innovations yet. I have over 50 Insteon units in my automated home and there are always a few switches that do not reliably communicate due to long wiring runs, or other devices plugged in. Installing a dual-band switch in these locations clears up those issues and makes the home virtually 100% automation reliable now! I can only imagine how perfectly perfect everything would be with all dual-band units installed.
    RICK -- chelmsford, ON   2/3/2011
    Item received quickly.Have not installed yet but soon.Looks very robust and identical to regular rectangular switches.It will match with other rectanglar switches
    WILLIAM -- stockton, CA   1/20/2011
    Fixed a communication problem, great feel to the switch
    RITA -- littleton, CO   1/15/2011
    Works perfectly. No issues with this at all. Has not ever failed
    TONY MAC -- hayward, CA   12/26/2010
    Worked exactly as discribed.
    JAMES -- cortland, NY   12/25/2010
    I just replaced my entire X10 system with Insteon and Icon products plus an ISY99i/IR Pro and couldn't be more pleased. These products work together to provide a needed update and far more capabilities. I would highly recommend the Insteon/Icon line, especially when coupled to an ISY99 controller.
    ROBERT -- reno, NV   12/24/2010
    Dual band works well. Same issues on installation as with 2476D
    KURT -- ashland, MA   12/11/2010
    Work fine.
    JON -- houston, TX   11/27/2010
    Great way to add another access point for cheap.
    DOUG -- bainbridge island, WA   11/22/2010
    My 2477D is 100 ft from the house and mounted inside a metal box inside a shop building with the rear of the grounded box facing the house. The control works perfectly from inside the house.
