Overview

  • Three products in one: In-wall controller, 20-amp On/Off switch and Access Point
  • Monitor and control five different devices or sets of devices
  • Create whole-house lighting scenes in minutes
  • Visually displays the status of any linked device with the built-in LEDs
  • Featuring dual-band INSTEON technology for the fastest and most reliable performance

Essential Info

This keypad is an elegant in-wall scene controller plus heavy-duty 20-amp switch all in one. Simply install the keypad in place of a standard wall switch and the on and off buttons control whatever the previous switch controlled (light/appliance), while the four scene buttons can be programmed to control any number of INSTEON devices such as dimmers, receptacles, A/V gear and more. Furthermore, KeypadLinc can itself be a member of countless scenes. This gives you remote control of both the connected light or appliance as well as any of the the scene button LEDs. This newest member of the KeypadLinc family supports voltages from 120 to 277V, making it the perfect energy saving, wireless controller for residential and commercial building automation systems.

The keypad also has the ability to communicate using both the electrical wires in the home as well as using radio frequency (RF). This increases reliability not only for the dimmer but for all devices on an INSTEON home control network (similar to the function of an Access Point).

Need to control more lights from this location? You can easily change this 6-button KeypadLinc to an 8-button keypad using the White 8 Button Change Kit for KeypadLinc. You can also change colors to match your décor using these kits which are available in Ivory, Almond, Light Almond, Black, Brown, and Gray.

Software configurable
Using INSTEON software such as HouseLinc, you can control, program and manage settings for this and other other INSTEON devices in your home. You can even schedule timed events, receive email alerts when devices are activated and more. Learn more about HouseLinc.

    Easy To Install
    INSTEON 6 Button Keypad Controller with On/Off Switch is easy to install and set up and yet so affordable, you'll be able to replace many of your switches with KeypadLinc. Just remove the old switch, reattach the line, load, and ground wires with the addition of the neutral wire using the included wire nuts, and you're done.

    Scene Lighting
    Scenes allow you to control multiple lights with one button. You can save and control up to five different individual lights, multi-light scenes, or even your whole home. Because KeypadLinc 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 press of one of the keypad buttons. These are elegant features usually found only in systems costing tens of thousands of dollars and requiring extensive rewiring of your home. All remotely controlled lights can ramp to your independently desired brightness levels at your chosen ramp rates, so one set of lights can dim slowly while another set turns off instantly, all controlled with one command from one button.

    Monitor Other Devices
    The buttons on INSTEON 6 Button Keypad Controller with On/Off Switch illuminate when ON signals are sent and when signals are detected from other INSTEON devices linked to KeypadLinc. This allows the KeypadLinc to monitor lights in other rooms, which is incredibly useful if you want to control lights that aren't easily seen from the location, like those in bedrooms, bathrooms, basements, garages, attics, etc.

    Flexible Setup
    The KeypadLinc gives you tremendous flexibility with controlling your lighting system. Other wall-mounted keypads only provide on/off control of all devices, however; KeypadLinc button can perform up to four different functions. Press a button once for ON; press again for OFF. Press and hold to brighten, press and hold again to dim. If you prefer, turn off the toggle feature to send the same command every time. This is a helpful feature when programming an "all on" command button to press when you get home or "all off" command button to press when you leave for the day.

    Create Multi-Way Circuits
    KeypadLinc allows you to customize your lighting setup no matter how your house is wired. It's simple to create a 3-, 4-, or 5-way circuit. First replace all of the existing switches you want to include in the circuit with either a KeypadLinc, INSTEON SwitchLinc Dimmer, or a INSTEON SwitchLinc Relay (Non-Dimmable). The main controller must be connected to the standard wires, load, line, neutral, and ground. The secondary switches only need to be connected to line, neutral, and ground. No traveler wires are needed, so it is easy to place one of the switches wherever you need it. Cross-linking all of the companion switches to the master switch is the last step in the process.

    Commercial Applications for INSTEON
    The KeypadLinc features dual-voltage support which allows it to be used in residential (120V) or commercial (277V) applications. Now you can bring the power of lighting control and automation into your business. Smarthome has been using these keypads to manage lighting in its 60,000 sq. ft. facility using HouseLinc.

    Compatibility
    This keypad 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. The KeypadLinc 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.

    Depth Comparison
    The new KeypadLinc dual-band requires about a quarter-inch more depth than the single-band version (#2486SWH6). The depth is 1.1" for the single-band version versus 1.4" for the dual-band version (see image comparison on right). If you are working with shallow junction boxes, we recommend the KeypadLinc (single-band). With the extra depth, the dual-band KeypadLinc will not fit inside the tabletop enclosure.

    Non-Volatile Memory
    All KeypadLinc settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are not lost during power failures. Additionally, in the event of a power loss, the KeypadLinc will return to its last on/off state when power is restored.

    Certifications and Warranty
    All KeypadLinc products are safety approved. The factory for SmartLabs Design Products is ISO9001 certified. In order to meet the ISO 9001.pdf standards, the entire factory underwent rigorous inspections of procedures and policies before being certified. The certification received was based on its dedication to high-quality management systems and strict adherence of quality control systems and guidelines. Because of this, Smarthome stands behind the entire KeypadLinc line of products with a full 2-year warranty.

    PHILIP -- stacy, MN   2/8/2012
    Good, but should be available in 8-key so you wouldn't have to waste time and money on the conversion kit. The dedicated, double-wide ON and OFF keys for the main circuit is a bit odd regardless of how you decide to use the remaining switches. In my installation, I can see that EVERY keypad should have been dual band, hence my interest in this and an 8-key version.
    C D -- morristown, AZ   2/4/2012
    Installation wasn't difficult and signal transmission and reception worked fine. I was a little taken aback that the local switch didn't provide a dimmer function as it does in my other non-dual-mode KeypadLincs. Reviewing the product offerings, it seems you can't get dual-mode and dimmer in the same unit. Bummer.
    GEORGE -- arlington, VA   2/2/2012
    Works great, and the current version allows you to set the brightness of the LEDs behind the buttons - very nice. One question I have for SmartLabs: how much power does each device draw? What is the "convenience cost" in electricity to run a network of Insteon devices? It would be useful if they would add the power consumption of each Insteon device to the product specs.
    PAUL -- dearborn, MI   12/4/2011
    Works great, order easy to enter and processed in a timely way.
    OWEN R -- mckinney, TX   11/21/2011
    Works great. I really appreciate that I can easily dim the LED lights in this keypad since it is in the bedroom.
    NATHAN -- mountain view, CA   11/18/2011
    I installed one of these on the way into my garage so I could control lights all around the house without having to walk around turning inside lights off and outside lights on for when I go out for a walk every night. If they were a little less expensive I would probably have a lot more of them.
    BENOIT -- blainville, QC   11/9/2011
    Works as expected. No problem yet.
    ROBERT -- green cove springs, FL   11/8/2011
    Very happy with this product. Just don't try to install this in a shallow electrical box. It won't fit well. My boxes are extra deep (6 inch framed walls), so installation was super easy. The relay is fairly quiet, certainly MUCH quieter than any x-10 relay.
    CRAIG -- elk grove, CA   10/10/2011
    works ok but ISY won't recognize it as a keypad even though is calls out the right part number
    RICHARD -- north ogden, UT   9/4/2011
    Works as advertised.
    LEW -- del mar, CA   9/4/2011
    This is a new unit, incorporating the dual band feature. It seems to work as my other dual band devices, and the convenience is welcome.
    Agustin -- Puerto Rico   10/26/2011
    Very good.
