| Ordinary light switches usually only control one light. But replace the switch with an easy-to-use INSTEON KeypadLinc Dimmer and you'll not only have control of the lights in the room, you can also control all the lights in your home from just one location. You can be set up in minutes with a Keypad Dimmer and a couple of plug-in lamp modules. Expand to complete lighting control by adding INSTEON switches and dimmers. The possibilities are limitless.
INSTEON KeypadLinc Dimmer
The most common location that customers want to control multiple lights from is the bedroom. Start by replacing the bedroom switch with an INSTEON KeypadLinc Dimmer. This keypad will continue to control the bedroom light that the switch location is pre-wired to operate via its large top and bottom buttons pre-labeled ON and OFF.
The fun really starts when you set up the KeypadLinc's four center buttons to control lights and scenes in other parts of the home. Each button can send ON/OFF signals to any INSTEON- or X10-compatible device. So now all you have to do is install an INSTEON SwitchLinc Dimmer (to control incandescent lights) or an INSTEON SwitchLinc Relay (for fluorescent or low-voltage lights), and program the keypad button to control any INSTEON or X10 device.
Now, by pressing that button on the KeypadLinc, you can turn off the light that you accidentally left on, without having to physically walk to the room. Moreover, the control button on the KeypadLinc lights up to indicate if the linked light is on or off.
Also Works With Plug-In Lamps
Simply want to control plug-in lamps, like the one in the living room that illuminates your path to the bedroom? It's just as easy with an INSTEON LampLinc or INSTEON ApplianceLinc. Program a KeypadLinc button to control the plug-in module, and you'll not only be able to control it with the KeypadLinc, but you'll be able to see if the light is on or off from the remote location.
Activate Lighting Scenes
But why stop there? You can use the other buttons to create "scenes" - groups of lights that can be activated to custom brightness levels for any situation. For example, you can create a "midnight snack" scene:
Using the scene feature in the SwitchLincs or LampLincs, you can light a dimly lit path to the kitchen with the press of one button. When the button is pressed once, the lights will turn on to the brightness levels for which they're pre-programmed. Press it again after getting your fix and everything will turn off just as easily.
