Essential Info

ICON On/Off Switch — The Economic Full-Featured, Remote-Controllable Switch
Fill your entire home with personalized mood lighting for any occasion. The ICON On/Off Switch allows you to control fluorescent or non-dimmable lights, fans, and other appliances in your INSTEON network. The ICON On/Off Switch is made to run silently no matter what kind of device you connect to it. The ICON On/Off Switch functions only as a non-dimming On/Off switch; if you need a switch to control other dimmable lights, choose the best switch the fits your load requirement: the ICON Dimmer Switch 300W, the SwitchLinc V2 Dimmer 600W , or the high-power SwitchLinc V2 Dimmer 1000W.

How many times have you jumped into bed and forgotten to turn the lights off? With the ICON Switch's remote control ability, you can have the convenience of adding a bedside ControLinc V2 to turn off your lights after you get into bed. Another benefit is never to come home to a dark house again: Install Smarthome Manager Essential's Timer Software on your computer to schedule any ICON On/Off Switch or any INSTEON-enabled device to turn on or off at any specific time or even at sunrise and sunset. The ICON On/Off Switch can control a 400-watt incandescent load or 10A resistive load.

    Easy To Install
    The ICON On/Off Switch is easy to install and set up and yet so affordable, you'll want to replace all your switches with ICON Switches. Just remove the old switch, reattach the existing line, load, ground and neutral wires using the included wire nuts, and you're done. If this is your first INSTEON installation, the best way to ensure you get everything needed to provide the most reliable communication between devices is to buy the complete Dimmer Switch INSTEON Starter Kit, which includes everything required to set up your INSTEON network, including two SwitchLinc V2 Dimmers, a pair of SignaLinc RFs to ensure INSTEON network reliability, and the desktop ControLinc.

    Built with a Quieter Relay
    Because the ICON On/Off Switch is built with a much quieter relay than most remote-control ON/OFF switches, it has a click that's more than 80 percent quieter than traditional relay switches. This allows you to control lights and other non-dimmable devices remotely without waking up the baby, annoying other family members, or sending your cat fleeing across the room. The click of the internal relay is barely audible.

    Generates Less Heat
    Unlike other switches, the ICON On/Off Switch uses a relay to control the load. Other switches use components that absorb about two volts of power and dissipate the heat through the front of the switch. By using a relay, the switch runs cooler and full voltage gets to the load.

    Quality Construction
    Unlike other switches, the ICON On/Off Switch offers the natural feel of well-built dimmers. You'll love the crisp, tactile response with each touch instead of the mushy feeling of other brands. The amber LED indicates the current on/off status of the lights being controlled. The ICON On/Off Switch is designed and manufactured to high-end specifications and goes through over 10 quality-control tests before arriving at your doorstep. This Decora-style switch will blend with any room's look. A white paddle is preinstalled on each ICON On/Off Switch, but additional paddle colors are available and sold separately. Choose the color that best suits your room's décor: Almond, Black, Brown, or Grey. Two paddles are included in each color-change set. Don't forget to order a matching wall plate.

    Create Multi-Way Circuits
    The ICON On/Off Switch 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 ICON Switches. The main ICON On/Off Switch must be connected to the standard wires: load, line, neutral, and ground. The secondary relays only need to be connected to the line, neutral, and ground wires. No traveler wires are needed, so it is easy to place one of the relays wherever you need it. Cross-linking all of the companion ICON On/Off Switches to the master ICON switch is the last step in the process for a flexible, fully functional multi-way circuit.

    Scene Lighting
    Scenes allow you to control multiple lights, rooms or even the whole home with a single command. Because the ICON On/Off Switch 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. The relays can blend seamlessly in a scene with ICON Dimmers. So one set of lights connected to a ICON Dimmer can slowly dim, while another set connected to the ICON On/Off Switch turns off instantly, all controlled with one command from one button. If you want to control multiple scenes from one controller, upgrade to the KeypadLinc V2 Dimmer.

    Compatibility
    The ICON On/Off Switch is 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. The ICON dimmer is not X10 scene compatible.

    Slim Design
    Similar relays are up to 50 percent deeper than the ICON On/Off Switch. Thanks to its slim design, the ICON On/Off Switch makes installation easy even in small junction boxes.

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

    Certifications and Warranty
    All ICON Switch products are safety approved. The factory for SmartLabs Design Products is ISO9001 certified. In order to meet the ISO 9001 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 ICON Switch line of products with a full 1-year warranty.
