          Answer This Question

          A:  Hold the rocker switch until you reach your desired level. It is a rocker, but you can hold the up or the down for the dimming effect.

          by|Nov 1, 2018

            A:  Well, there is no direct connection between the switch and the dimmer. You would need to pair the two together. I personally use the Mini Remote to brighten and control a smart light bulb over our dining table.

            by|Nov 1, 2018

              A:  After linking the devices together you press and hold the On (top) part of the paddle to brighten and/or press and hold the Off (bottom) part of the paddle to dim. When you let go it will stop. Tapping the paddle, in either on or off, will cause the light to change instantly.

                Q:Will this remote work as zwave remote for ge products

                Answer This Question

                A:  I don't believe it does natively but if you had an insteon/zwave bridge, such as the ISY994z, you could create a scene to send Zwave commands to control your Zwave device(s). Hope that helps.

                by|May 5, 2023

                  A:  No, it is not Z-wave.

                  by|May 5, 2023

                    A:  I don’t know for sure, but my guess is it would not work on other products since it’s an Insteon product.

                    by|May 5, 2023

                      A:  Zwave and Insteon do not natively work together. There is a controller called an ISY-994 ZW that will allow you to use both protocol together.

                        Q:Can you control the light level with this remote, or is it just an on/off toggle?

                        Answer This Question

                        A:  You can use it as a dimmer by holding the top or bottom in to get the desired light level.

                        by|May 5, 2023

                          A:  Yes. When you press and hold the button it will brighten/Dim. When you tap it the lights will turn On/Off.

                          by|May 5, 2023

                            A:  You can use it with a dimmer. We used it with an LED compatible in-line dimmer and dimmable LEDs.

                              Does not easily mount in standard wall plates
                              The remote itself works great... the problem is in keeping it in place in the wall plate. It doesn't stay in there, it falls back into the void and looks awful next to the other switches in the wall plate.

                                Easy pairing with Insteon modules. Charge (USB Micro-B) lasts a very long time. Good for real time, direct use of lamp/appliance by users who don't have access to Insteon App on your wireless.

                                Remotely control remotely controlled light switches
                                Once you replace an existing light switch with an Insteon remotely controlled switch you can use this device to control the new switch. You can leave this remote on a table or install it on a wall as if it were a regular switch, i.e., you can switch lights from a different location without adding new cables. This worked very well for us when we changed the lighting in our kitchen (but get the wall plate accessory to install on a wall!). The remote control contains a battery but it can be charged with a USB cable.

                                Remote Anywhere Switch
                                I purchased this remote along with the 2477S Insteon light switch. I replaced my everyday paddle switch with it without a problem. I purchased these switches to create the equivalent of a 3-way switch at the top and bottom of my stairs. It worked perfectly and saved me the hassle of having to run any new wire. The only problem that could come up when installing, is that you need a neutral wire in the box -- I am told that the switch will not work without a neutral. Additionally, when I purchased this switch, the manufacturer stated that it wold work with CFL bulbs, but it did not say anything about LED lights. I have been using it for a few month with LED retrofit fixtures and have not had any issues. I highly recommend.
