This high-tech yet easy to use dimmer takes your home into the future by giving you the ability to set the speed at which the light fades On and Off, a preset on-level for always remembering your favorite brightness level and best of all being able to remotely control the dimmer from a handheld remote, wall keypad, computer or mobile phone (controllers are sold separately). With high-end quality, at-a-glance LED status and remote controllability, you'll see how easy it is to create your own home of the future. Similar to the best selling SwitchLinc Dimmer, this newest member of the SwitchLinc family 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). The SwitchLinc installs like a traditional wall switch with the exception of requiring connection to neutral. Most homes have a neutral wire available (see How to check if I have neutral wires?). Once installed setup is quick and easy using a simple Plug-n-Tap programming. This high-tech yet easy to use Smarthome 2477D SwitchLinc Insteon Remote Control Dimmer takes your home into the future by giving you the ability to set the speed at which the light fades On and Off, a preset on-level for always remembering your favorite brightness level and best of all being able to remotely control this dimmer from a handheld remote, wall keypad, computer or mobile phone (controllers are sold separately)

These are my favorite smart home dimmer switches
These are my favorite smart home dimmer switches. I tried several other brands including Lutron Caseta, but the Insteons were my favorite.Pros:• High quality construction• Excellent fit and finish• Excellent instructions are available online• The switches paired flawlessly with my Insteon Hub• Easy to customize the LED brightness• Easy to customize the fade times• Works with 3-way and 4-way switch configurations• Lights respond instantly when the button is pressed• Very simple operation using a spring-loaded rocker switch. (Much simpler than Lutron Caseta.)• Makes a satisfying click when pressed, but it's not too loud• You can change the LED colors by installing optional color pipesCons:• The instructions for installing 3-way switches are a little confusing and misleading. However, I was able to figure it out.• Make sure you have a white neutral wire available. It's required for this switch. I have neutral wires, so it wasn't a problem. However, I noticed that the Lutron Caseta switch doesn't require a neutral wire. That may be important to some people.• These are not guaranteed to work with LED lighting. Many people have had success using LED lighting with them, but they don't work with all LED bulbs. I'm using incandescent, so I didn't have an issue.In short, I purchased smart home switches from Insteon, Lutron, Leviton, and one other manufacturer (I can't remember at the moment.) The Insteons were by far my favorite. I plan on installing them throughout my house.

Fun System to Use but costly and installation is challenging.
Making the switches work with the Phone app and Alexa was very easy. Alexa control amazes people, talking to control lighting. Linking between pairs of switches in a 3Way circuit has not worked at all as instructions indicate. Very frustrating. Also the pricing differences between a white switch and the colored models is outrageous, about $20. I discovered that colored replacement switch plates can be bought separately for about $1-2. What a ripoff. I a bought an Insteon switch system about 15 years ago and they recently started going out. I discovered they were not compatible with the new versions. I ended up replacing all 13 switches in my kitchen and needing a new Hub. Doing a whole house switch replacement will be costly and installation is time consuming.I'm in the Low Voltage system business to!

I have been trying to get a home automation system working for a while.The Insteon systems has worked the best.I tried for a while with all the Z-wave ones that are out there, but they were difficult to get paired with the system.The Insteon in almost mindless… that being said Im pretty good with tech stuff and still the Zwave one's (which there are several) the pairing was a nightmare.Had the insteon up and running in minutes.

Best dimmers I've found yet.
Couldn't be more happy. After a bit of struggle figuring out how to wire a 3-way application all these Insteon are working flawlessly with the 8 scene mini-controllers.

Finally got rid of my last X-10 switches! Communications are much more reliable with Insteon.

Good X10 replacement/overhaul
Very good replacement if you are thinking of getting rid of X10 devices. However, they do not respond as well to X10 signals but are great if you just use their Insteon protocol.
