Essential Info

Your smartphone already lets you access nearly all aspects of your life now... from meetings, music, photos, movies and games to contacting friends and family no matter where you are. Why stop there?

This kit is a great way to make your home available to you at the touch of a button, no matter where you are.

Explanation of kit contents:

SmartLincSmartLinc - plugs into an outlet and connects to your router which can then be accessed from any web-enabled device. It features sunrise and sunset timers, day-of-week timers and more. Organize devices by rooms and create lighting scenes that turn on multiple lights at the same time. (iPhone sold separately)

SwitchLinc dimmerTwo SwitchLinc dimmers (dual-band) and one SwitchLinc switch - these replace existing switches*. The dimmers can control incandescent loads up to 600 Watts and feature on-level presets and adjustments for how fast the light fades on and off. The dimmers also feature dual-band technology, which allows them to send and receive signals via the power line and radio frequency. The switches control non-dimming loads such as fluourescent and motors (up to 15 Amps).

*Requires connection to neutral which is available in most homes. For more information, See "How Do I Know If I Have A Neutral Wire?".

Expand this kit to control your Thermostat, Outdoor Lights or Fountains, Sprinklers, display power consumption of an appliance and more.

GERVASE -- riverside, CA   5/9/2012
Product required that I buy additional components before the smartlinc could communicate throughout the entire house.
MICHAEL -- newbury park, CA   2/22/2012
Software to configure insteon devices is limited
DUSTIN -- lisle, IL   2/17/2012
The system works exactly as specified with a web browser and with the app for the iPad and Droid even better. I have only 2 nitpicks, on the installation side we had some confusion on which wire hooked up to neutral due to the wires on the switches being labeled inconsistently with the online docs. Second, on your iPhone and Android apps I would recommend putting a slider control for setting the dimness of a light scene. Having to guess where the app will stop can be a bit of a hassle and repeatedly pressing Dim or Bright sort of "takes away" from how smooth the system operates.
ED NOEPEL -- jersey city, NJ   2/13/2012
I was not impressed with the SmartLinc controller. Since outlets near my router did not work, I needed to install a WAP as a network bridge; the controller should offer WiFi. Not impressed that I cannot set dimmer levels on scenes. Circuit phase detection is poorly documented. That said, my timers have been working reliably weeks after installation.
KURT -- carroll, IA   2/2/2012
Works as advertised. Pretty happy with product. Could have a little better installation troubleshooting. I have some interference in my house so switches have to be programmed before installation. Customer service was very helpful.
RONALD -- south san francisco, CA   1/13/2012
did not like the iphone interface. too simple.
RICHARD -- west milford, NJ   12/28/2011
Nice, reqires a little understanding to get the x-10 side working, but the insteon side is a snap. Nice to control the lights from and web browser on nearly any weg enabled device.
STEVEN -- edgewood, WA   11/6/2011
I love these products. Easy to set up and VERY cool.....I'm going to set up my entire house little by little with these innovative products.
RYAN -- gilbert, AZ   9/30/2011
I am very happy with the results after I purchased the access points needed to run the system. I would have been much happier had I known the access points were an essential componenet up front. I ended up spending a lot more time and money trying to figure out why it didn't work after my purchase of the "starter kit". The starter kit should include the access points and the instructions should include a full system set-up including adding the access points. Piece mealing this did not make me a happy customer! Great product, very poor marketing!
SEAN -- derwood, MD   9/29/2011
I was looking at adding light control the my recreation room remotes - the SmartLinc Light Control Kit, combined with an IRLinc Receiver, made it relatively quick. However, do heed the warnings about having two either dual-band devices or access points in your system to bridge the phases - in my case, I discovered that the outlets were on a different phase than the lights. Best part? Not only do my remotes now control my lights, but my programmable remote control 'magic wand' does, too!
DAVID -- south fulton, TN   8/22/2011
Excellent starting place. Wish the web interface allowed for more control and custom interface design.
ANTHONY -- bothell, WA   8/15/2011
This was a great kit. Easy to install. Easy to integrate into my home network. The interface could be better. I had hard time telling what devices where synched with my scene groupings.
JOHN -- vienna, VA   7/4/2011
As it has turned out, I am very happy with my Insteon purchase. It is installed and performing well. The only criticism I have is that it is virtually impossible to understand what the system will (and will not) do from the sales material. This system is potentially golden; Smarthome needs to market it better. I have purchased two more increments of devices since this purchase.
PIETER -- charlotte nc, NC   2/17/2011
nice kit! The challenge is in the router set up if you never tried to set up incoming line from the outside you will be googling and doing some trial and error.
Colin -- Alaska   12/6/2011
The starter kit arrived, on time, and with the advertised components. After a little studying of the directions, and brushing up on my electrician skills, I was able to get the system up and running in no time. The quality of the products is very high, better than most of the other automated switches I have seen on the market. If you are looking to put some of your hardwired lights, such as hall lights on a timer, this is a great kit to get you started. I'm not sure what some of the other reviewers are referring to about the access points. I was able to get the system working to suit my needs, straight out of the box. I am very happy with the product, and plan to grow my starter kit. I would highly recommend this product to anyone else looking to automate the lights and appliances in their home.
