With recent vintage SwitchLincs, you can adjust the indicator LED brightness from 100% down to off in increments of what, 10%? For easiest setup, use HouseLinc or an ISY to adjust the device properties.

I don't have that option, I can see it in the picture in the manual but on the 2477D that I have it does not show. :(

Older devices do not have that feature

Now you have a reason to add to your Insteon network

This is a brand new switch! I thought it was the latest version because it is dual band.

In that case, the option should be available. Which version of HL do you have?

It looks like a glitch in the latest device definitions--I'm seeing that switches that supported LED brightness in previous versions of HL (and still do in the beta) no longer have that drop-down available in release 2.9.27 dev. 2.8.18. I just posted to the Beta forum to make the developer aware.

In the meantime, you should be able to make the same adjustment manually using the paddle and the Set button. See the section of the online Owner's Manual entitled "Change LED Brightness (or turn it off): http://www.smarthome.com/manuals/2477d.pdf
